Post Civil War
Following the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, Kulmiye among other Hawiye Officers were not arrested nor expelled from Mogadishu. Instead all Hawiye Clan officials who served the Barre regime were reinvented as Somali Heroes.[4].
However General Kulmiye was known for his honest straight talk against the USC militias as a clan group incapable of uniting Somalia. Mr. Kulmiye did not participate the civil war in 1991
