Somalia Was Still Poor During The Kacaan Era

Losing a major war + cancerous socialist policies will do that for a nation. I wonder how Somalia was doing in the 60s

This is a lie even Hamalis unskilled workers could purchase homes which is how an economy is tested and measured. Schooling and health was free and some were even paid if they were pursuing a field of national importance. Our universities were world class having many faculties.

Their was no refugee or tahrib happening which shows they were comfortable. Today a hamali can't even purchase a damn idp plot with a tin shed. Hawiyenomics is a failure thinking gdp is measured on cheap chinese made towers. Thats why we must keep ourselves separate from them as we build up our middle class and the world calls us truly first world economy, while their still 4th world pursuing cheap chinese tower development while their ppl are 1 dollar a day.

That's just a myth as the military was completely destroyed after 77 war and subsequent rebellion that occurred in late 70s and 80s

It was destroyed by Soviets and Cubans lol. No army in Africa would capable of beating them. Ethiopia was still destroyed by the SNA

Yeah they had bad economic mismanagement cause they poured EVERYTHING into one city and didn't diversify as much hence why somalia is in the state it is today if we diversified the economy back then we could have bounced back quicker and easier after the civil war.

*could have been.

I'd take a poor but stable nation then the poor unstable one we got now. The barre regime wasn't great but this current clown show is honestly just as worse, no wonder some people feel nostalgic. You look back at old photos and videos and see people going about their lives, living normally.

To clarify I don't like Barre or his regime, the nation would've been better of had he stepped down after the loss during the war of reunification. However he was faaar more competent than the current batch of state and national presidents.

Siad Barre wasn't more competent, he inherited a functioning state, a strong military, and people were either being patient or being ethnically cleansed.

He definitely inherited a stable state but he boosted the military due to his own time and connections in it. As for the people I have no doubt that not everyone was treated well however in our current I'd be hard pressed to say that things are better. All in all it seems we've been trying to recapture the pre Barre era but the damage done has been too great.

What I meant in my original post is that the nation deserves better leaders than the batch we have now.
