[Wind]

WATCH THIS VIDEO:
Despite all the bad, he did a lot of good. Somalis was Somalis where ever they were north south west east. See how he help the northern Nomads and relocated them to south. And they were gladly welcomed by their people in the south and trained there as fishermen and farmer’s . So they could provide for themselves. I wish we could experience this someday soon inshallah. Except for being led by a dictator.

An interesting guy, but he should have been an authoritarian capitalist instead of an authoritarian communist.

 

[AbdiS]

Niggar, are you trying to start another civil war?

What do you think might've changed?

Barre should have stepped down after the car accident in 1986.

 

[QueenofKings]

I think he has a good start but it went down hill very quickly.

But that’s between him and Allah now.

 

[Yusuf M]

Barre should have stepped down after the car accident in 1986.

Or at the very latest 1989/1990. Things could have been different.

 

[Habbad]

he allied with the wrong countries but hindsight is 2020. somalia being part of the china sphere over the russia sphere made it a no brainer for the USSR to quickly pull their support. funnily enough somalias friendship with china wouldve paid off if he was a bit more of a pacifist and waited it out but oh well

His actions speak on his character and legacy

Illegal Coup
Forcefully holding the Presidency for 21 years
Imprisoning politicians
Poisoning civilians
Killing civilians
Bombing civilians
Killing Islamic Scholars
Aligning with a Christian Political Group called "The Family"- Watch the documentary on Netflix.
etc, etc.

State his wrong doings, but only Allah can bring justice on the day of judgment. I just hope that anyone could bring the country like he did without all his awful and wrong parts.

That guy was a narcissist. He had school children singing ''Abo Siyaad'' for 21 years.

He didn't care about somalis if he did he wouldn't order the north to be destroyed of favour some clans more than others or hide the nations gold in the tank he fled in.

Not to mention Guulwade siyaad

 

[Desert Flower]

Definitely had his faults. But Somalia under his rule had sharaf and decency. It was stable. What he did to Reer Waqooyi was horrific though.

 

[BigShaq]

It was better before he came in imo. Wasn't worth the mess, but oh well

What gold?

 

[The Camels of Cal madow]

What gold?

When he fled the capital before the USC arrived apparently he fled with loot from the treasury
