The best thing siyaad did was execute the religious zealots who are stuffing up somalia today.
Even if he hates a particular clan, because he incorrectly conflates Daarood with Siyad Barre, he is not wrong in his assertion that the kacaan was a despotic propaganda machine.
Just to confirm my suspicions, you are from Siyad's clan, yes?
Then why did his opposition attack daroods everywhere after he left@Dharbash
Siyad Barre is not attacked because he was "daarood" but because he was a bully and a dictator who plunged the country into tribal warfare.

Siyad Barre is not attacked because he was "daarood" but because he was a bully and a dictator who plunged the country into tribal warfare.
What is a fact? The dictator created the conditions which caused the civil war. Somalia was on the NATO hit list for further destabilisation, this is no secret.
None of this indicates that he was a competent leader.
Siyad Barre and the warlords are as bad as each other.
Hence why I do not praise any leader afyer 1969 unless sparingly
Warlords created nothing.
Siyaad at least did some positive stuff so Siyad is better than the warlords.
We can criticize him but to say he was like Aidid or Ali Mahdi isn't correct
You cannot tell people how to feel about people.
Siyad imprisoned and murdered my family so yeah, Caydiid, Siyad. No difference to me
