Ladies and gentlemen, the ugly face of militant political Darodism.
They attack Isaaq-owned transnational businesses like Dahabshiil & Telesom with zero evidence, and for no other reason than the fact they're Isaaq owned, and Darods dont have equivalent businesses of this scale.

During the very first days of the Laascanood tribal violence, the instigating local zealots began attacking Dahabshiil & Telesom towers in the city.
Their crime?
Being Isaaq owned.
There was no other reason to compel a crowd of this size to single out Isaaq owned businesses.

Listen to their words.
They justify the ugly attack on the two largest employers in the city by stating that Dhulbahante employees are just "shaqaale" aka workers, and have no stake in the business.
Pure venom and jealousy at the fact that Darods are being employed by Isaaq.

The targeting and destruction of Isaaq-owned businesses was not limited to Laascanood.
The same happened in other Darod villages like Buuhoodle, where Isaaq owned businesses were completely ransacked by tribal bigots.
All the records destroyed.

Somtel, another Isaaq-owned business targeted and ransacked by the tribally motivated Darod locals of Buuhoodle village.
Again, no other reason than resentment of the fact that these are Isaaq owned businesses and Darods have no equivalents.

This bears uncanny resemblance of "Kristallnacht", a Nazi program unleashed against the Jewish population of Germany and specifically targeting Jewish businesses.
Interestingly, Nazi officials claimed Kristallnacht was a response to assasination of a German diplomatic official.
