 These include the President's own bodyguards, the Red Berets ("Duub Cas"); the "Dhabar Jabinta" (or "Backbreakers") a branch of the military police; the "Hangash", another branch of the military police; the "Guulwadayal" (or "Victory Pioneers"), a uniformed paramilitary group; and the investigative wing of the Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party (SRSP).Similarly, the decision to dismantle the NSC did not guarantee a fair system of justice because other courts, such as the Mobile Military Court and the Regional Security Court, retained the power to sentence people to long prison terms and even death without any pretense of due process.In an effort to show that the government was opening the political system, President Barre resigned as Secretary General of the ruling party, only to be replaced by a son-in-law who for many years headed the NSS.
