Siad Barte was the catalyst to our demise ...no amount of excuse can change the fact that he used a terrible strategy to keep on ruling , Somalia was a disaster waiting to happen..he would've had a better legacy if he had established something like China's system of government where no man rules more than 8 years from a military committee..as opposed to him ruling by an iron dust on a deranged and wild people like the Somalia, so it was a recipe for disaster..
Btw I dismiss any democracy for Somalia, it just doesn't fit us runtii..
