In Phase II, operations would be extended into northern Somalia, based on the port cities of Berbera and Bossasso, then moved to Hargeisa and Garoe. In 1988, Barre ordered an all,out air war and leveled Hargeisa. High Commission on Refugees assisted me with the rest of my journey, which included another plane flight to the steamy port of Berbera in the north; from there a UNHCR Land Cruiser drove across the entire width of northern Somalia, first to Hargeisa, where I spent the night, and then finally, to Tug Wajale, where I slept in a sleeping bag inside a drafty tent on the freezing windy plateau. |
