A "letter of death" was sent on #ThisDayInHistory in 1987 by Gen. Morgan of #Somalia, wherein the #ButcherOfHargeisa proposed what has become a forgotten #genocide within the #SomaliCivilWar. Up to 200,000 ethnic #Isaaq people were killed in the #HargeisaHolocaust/#IsaaqGenocide.

President #GeorgeHWBush sent 28,000 US troops to #Somalia on #ThisDayInHistory in 1992, intervening in the #SomaliCivilWar. A protracted conflict that broke out around 1988 and continues still, no clear end is in sight for suffering people of the #postcolonial #HornOfAfrica.
