The only people who like Siad Barre are his clansmen, he was truly evil.
I’m not even talking in my clan voice so need to bring that up. I know what he did to my abtis but you’d hear majority of them say he was better than what came after and you can’t call that a genocide either. As for the north, I’m not trying to get into that debate.
I think it’s better to have a country where you can use the passport to go places than now where it’s literal trash.
Yeah that was the point I was trying to make to him.In regards to your Reer Abi:
Just because we Majeerteen think Satan Barre's regime was slightly better than the genocidal USC warlords of 1991, does not mean he is liked by us, at all. We just know that Satan Barre didn't want to kill everyone as much as he wanted everyone alive to worship at his altar and call him daddy for eternity. So if we had a choice between being completely wiped out of existence or tolerate a lunatic's dictatorship, of course we'd pick the latter.
I said I’m not MX, but If I were, I’d obviously support Barre. You too can’t deny he was a nepotistic and qabiilistYour not MX no MX would ever call siyaad a communist puppet you just shown your true colors by praising the syl as the only well intentioned group meaning your not MX but MJ since the majerteen clan had the key figures in the syl including two prime ministers that originated from this clan which dominated syl politics at the time however I do agree they were nationalists and were loyal to the Somali cause and you give arguments without knowing the context of these events furthermore the power vacuum after his ouster led to the clan fiefdoms
There you go. These are the people Siad Barre had to deal with and people are shocked he was heavy-handed. He was dealing with dogs.
It's a fundamental truth that in any nation-building process a certain demographic among the population will always be contrarian cretins that must be guided or otherwise silenced.
Of course, you would rather have an Italian rule over you. You're an Untermensch. A 2nd class unenlightened animal forever at the boot of Kenyans, Ethiopians, Westerners, - anyone with more than two pennies to rub together and the stomach to look at Somalis. Saxiibo, you do not need to wish for masters for you already have them.
Somalia came and died with Maxamed Siyaad Barre.
Civil warWonder what Somalia would have been like if Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke wasn’t assassinated. AUN
You're the dog, kalabyahow. Maybe you should go join your Aabbo in his grave seeing as how distraught you are at his well-deserved death.
I don't weep for his death. It is indeed well deserved. My family fought against him, but hindsight is 20/20. They'll tell you themselves.
I'm saying people need to be honest with themselves. There was no Somalia before the Kacaanists took over and Somalia died with with them when the project officially failed in '91. This idea that his regime ruined anything is a total fabrication and after the fact rationalization. The way Somalis live in Somalia tonight is the natural state.
LOOL
There was no Somalia before Siad kulaha and you want us to believe your family fought against him. Haye, sheekada sii wad.
He Used Lock Up EastsidersMy dad hates that Nigga and I’m not even issaq
He did great things, yes, but he also caused the distraction of our nation, massacres and what elseI really don’t. I frantically do not care that he was a dictator, he did so much great for Somalia as a whole.
Those who disrespect him on a daily basis would never understand how much he means for other Somalis. He really gave us all a chance, not just certain groups but all of us.
So you blame the last 30 years of mooryanimo, looting, terrorism and qarax on a guy who left Somalia 30 years ago? Why didn't the opposition fix things?May Allah burn and torture him in depth of hell, Amiin, he destroyed Somalia and Somalis to the obvilion, I don't even think we will ever recover from all the nepotism and clan fueds he created among us any time soon.
Yeah that was the point I was trying to make to him.
You know Somalia is in the shitter when option A (barre) is more favorable than option B (warlords/fake governments/Al Shabab/etc)
