Wallahi people in here are thick.
Barre is rotting in hell and I'm happy for that.
Lol where are Hawiye looting, raping, murdering and bombing? And what does that have to do with the human right abuser Barre?

Deflection 101
Proud how? Proud of how we humiliatingly lost the Ogaden war? Proud of being an African dictatorship? Proud of daily rapes, massacres, bombings and human rights abuses against the people by the Government?
Somalia wasn't feared by anyone. We weren't a democratic beacon on light. We didn't have a strong economy. We had land that was mostly inhabited by one ethnic group, something other African nations dreamed of. Yet during his rule he exploited clans to divide and conquer his own people.
That's because he paved the way for anarchy. There would have been none had he left the country United behind democracy. Instead his last mission was pitting qabiils against eachother and telling his own to never give up or surrender.
His inability to educate the masses and instead executing imams on television set the way for Wahhabiism to seep into out population.
He doomed Somalia the second he took power. He left a legacy that would make our funding father's, SYL and other true patriots sick in their stomach.
There is no defending him. If you think Somalia was better under him you're a egotistical qabilist who willingly ignores the suffering of literally everyone else.
