BTW Arte was forgein minister and was issaq who loved Great Somalia more than anything else. I know his family he was from Berbera. In 1992 he refused to be part of Somaliland and went to Saudi where was friend of royal family. Poor man he was one of the best Somalis you can meet. Walking legend he was behind joining Arab league

Look at Libya and Iraq After these 2 men were gone. I know Iraq who are crying for saddam, do not believe the western propaganda.
Relying on Soviet advisers and a committed group of Italian-educated Somali "leftist" intellectuals, Siad Barre announced the 1971-73 Three-Year Plan. The plan emphasized a higher standard of living for every Somali, jobs for all who sought work, and the eradication of capitalist exploitation. Agricultural "crash programs" and creation of new manufacturing plants were the immediate results.
In this period, the government reorganized the sole milk-processing plant to make it more productive; established tomato-canning, wheat flour, pasta, cigarette, and match factories; opened a plant that manufactured cardboard boxes and polyethylene bags; and established several grain mills and a petroleum refinery. In addition, the state put into operation a meat-processing plant in Chisimayu, as well as a fish-processing factory in Laas Qoray northeast of Erigavo. The state worked to expand sugar operations in Giohar and to build a new sugar-processing facility in Afgooye. In three of the four leading light industries canned meats, milk, and textiles there were increases in output between 1969 and 1975.
The government also established fishing cooperatives. Despite a long coastline and an estimated potential yield of 150,000 tons per year of all species of fish, in the early 1970s fishing accounted for less than 1 percent of Somalia's gross domestic product. In 1975 cooperatives were established at Eyl, a post in the Nugaal region; Cadale, a port 1200 kilometers northeast of Mogadishu; and Baraawe. The Soviet Union supplied modern trawlers; when Soviet personnel left Somalia in 1978, Australia and Italy supported these fishing projects. Despite their potential and broad-based international support, these cooperatives failed to become profitable.
Arte repented and died a somalilander his son however is a for hassan sheikh today.
His sister alham Arte is friend of my family and she will disagree with you. The gentle man rejected concept of dividing the country. Left for Saudi as guest of royal family. He was great poet but in Arab and he was pro Arab and made us joined the Arab league
Don't lie about a dead man. He repented and died a somalilander ina cumar carte qaalib is a filthy prostitute but his father died a respected man in the eyes of his people.
Say wallahi his still alive? How comes his son has a conflicting ideology then??
He was legend , check this photo of former foreign minister of Somalia Omar Arteh Qalib chairing the UN security council assembly over Africa 28 Jan 1971 as the president of the UN Security Council.
That is what Somalia has been at the international arena.

He is not dead!!!!!!
He love his country simply as that
The fact that all the enemies of the Somali people has united in anti-siyad barre hatred in this thread says something about him...... is it a coincidence that those who want to divide Somalia hates him ? or those who are proud of hiding behind Amisom ? unfortunately for you filth 24 years after he left you are not able to replace him.
The Somali public may have wanted it, but it was still an unneccessary war. Ethiopia and Somalia were both Soviet allies and they agreed to mediate the disputes and land claims amongst us. Then a few days later Iblis himself (Henry Kissinger) shows up in Xamar and pushes Barre into the trap of war, which he was already salivating to engage in. Hindsight is 20/20 but this was not a good move down the line for us and it achieved nothing.

What a time to be alive
Government was better run.
But for average joes it wasn't much better than today. Look up the GDP stats of that era, they were abysmal.
We never were great.
