There are and were many people responsible for the state of Somalia. From leaders right down to the low Iq individuals that sustain them, turn a blind eye to the short comings of their tribal leader but prepare a 10 page essay for the wrongs of the other guy. So what even is the point of this post but maangaabnimo.
If Siyaad Barre had not held the country together by force for 21 years, we would have had the civil war much earlier than in 1991. Somalia would not have survived another election like the one in 1967.
Not just that.MSB was the best thing to happen to Somalia , idgaf . When he was in power we weren't qaxootis , when he left we became qaxootis
Somalia as a country never had much potential, it's a very resource-poor country filled with tribal nomads. Even in the democratic era in the '60s, the country was unstable with insanely corrupt leaders, and the Government killing hundreds to suppress voters from certain parties.Not just that.
Back in the days Somalia's reputation in the world was basically " poor but with a lot potential"
Right now we are considered the worst country on earth, no other Country in recent history experienced anarchy like we had.
What is the source of this quote? Anyway the fact that somalia was corrupt has nothing to do with it's potential. I could say Nigeria for example has a lot of potential because of it's resources despite corruption.Somalia as a country never had much potential, it's a very resource-poor country filled with tribal nomads. Even in the democratic era in the '60s, the country was unstable with insanely corrupt leaders, and the Government killing hundreds to suppress voters from certain parties.View attachment 154139.
The Kacaan took this up a notch and it became predictable what would happen next. An African dictator being toppled in a newly formed country is not a new thing.
Everything Somalia is going through is part of the painful stages of nationhood development that every country went through. Ours just came a lot later than others
There is a difference between failed state and third world country. Our neighbors in Ethiopia and Kenya are also 3rd world countries but they are much better than us in terms of stability, economy etcSomalia would still be a third world country even without the civil war
True, I meant in that a lot of somalis act as if we'd become the new U.S without the civil war. We'd still be in a disappointing situation, just not as tragic.There is a difference between failed state and third world country.

With those sort of standards the majority of the world is a disappointment outside of some rich nations.True, I meant in that a lot of somalis act as if we'd become the new U.S without the civil war. We'd still be in a disappointing situation, just not as tragic.
