if you knew the dirty anti islamic culture that was practiced by the Elites of the Kacaan, you wouldn't use such words to describe it. Alxamdullilah it collapsed before it made us all into Ehlul Naar.
What anti Islamic culture? Did you know the most Masjid's and Dugsis in Somalia were built under his reign?

Even when the Somali forces were defeated, he ordered the killing of the best commanders and officers, because he was afraid that they would stage a coup against him when they returned. He also left entire battalions of the army behind, and they were all killed.
Which ones? Any names?

You could not defeat Ethiopia After several months they gathered 200,000 soldiers and then supported the fronts that brought down the government. Therefore, I do not know what the Somalis benefited from this. It was a clear loss even before the fighting began.
200,000 soldiers? What are you smoking on?!

They won the war because the Soviets invested 1 billion + military aid and cuba put armoured brigades on the ground as well as troops.
 
Let's be honest guys, what matters most is today. But, I understand the pride in the past achievements.
Secondly, let's be fair, Somalia attacked at the best time, the govt was still going through turmoil from within (internal conflict within the derg and without vs many rebel groups from eritrea to tigray to oromo lands), not to mention ethiopia still hadn't received any automatic weapons (AK's for example).

It would have been amazing, if Siad barre had accepted USSR proposal and stopped pushing forward to Addis. Somali Galbeed would have been added to Somalia and Kenya was already shaking and ready to call it even and hand over NFD.

If this happened all the events that led to the civil war would have been avoided.

Instead Siad barre went against all advise to take this deal which led for others to question his leadership.


Anyone got a Time Machine laying around?
What was the end goal anyways? Was the objective to overthrow Mengistues Communist regime in Ethiopia? Anyways that war was a huge FAILURE.
:faysalwtf:
