  1. . However, it is believed that these suppressive efforts by Barre's regime did not stop the SNM from waging its armed resistance in northern Somalia, but it is also made it see the opportunity to support other clan-based rebel groups to take up arms against the regime. These included the United Somali Congress (USC) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM) supported respectively by the Hawiye and the Ogaden clans. (p.93)
  2. . After 12 years of civil war involving 5 factions, prominent amongst them the United Somali Congress (USC), the Somali National Movement (SNM) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), rebel forces had fought their way into Mogadishu by the end of 1990. (p.1181)

For example, following heavy fighting between the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM) and the Somali Patriotic Movement/Somali National Alliance (SPM/SNA) in the Kismayo area, UNOSOM together with local clan elders mediated negotiations between the parties which led to the signing of the Jubbaland Peace Agreement on 6 August 1993.

There's clearly versions of the article in its history which do not include material copied from the Somali National Movement article. Given the editor responsible for the present problems is now blocked, simple reversion to a previous version of the article is possible, no TNT necessary here.

These seem to be passing mentions and not SIGCOV as required for orgs. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 16:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the organization is completely different from the SNM and deleting the page for a historically significant armed movement (look it up, the SPM as one of the major rebel groups that overthrew Siad Barre) because some guy made dumb edits to the page isn't a good idea. It needs cleanup and additional sources added, not deletion. - presidentofyes, the super aussa man 03:05, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per the above arguments. Bulbajer (talk) 03:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
