He achieved a bloodless coup with brilliant tactical precision. In the rest of the world anytime there is a coup blood is usually spilled. This is the case even in modern times, for example the recent coup attempt that took place in Turkey where some members tried overthrowing Erdogan tried to take power but ended up failing and many of the members that plotted were killed.
This is what happened with the clan based rebel groups. They thought their treasonous actions of trying to topple our government with the support of the Mengistu-Led Ethiopian government was going to have no consequences but they were wrong. They were purged for the most part, but these cowardly rebels usually used civilians as shields and in any battle where you use civilians as shields and do hit and runs against the military there will be casualties that result from that. The casualties were low, however our enemies were not looking for Siyad to be replaced. They were looking to destroy what was known at that time as the "Somali State" because it was an external threat to our neighboring countries interests. Ethiopia in particular, who funded and supported the insurgents in our country. What resulted afterwards of the toppling of our government was unimaginable shame that befall our nation and the colossal hit to our reputation around the world. The Anarchy caused for law and order to fall and the various warlords like Aideed went after civilians for "revenge" and was never qualified for leadership. Other things like Piracy, Seccisionism, Islamic-based insurgents, and AU peacekeeping forces are many of the unfortunate results of the toppling of our glorious government.
Today many of the families of those same warlords FLED Somalia and live abroad, but during the kacaan only people on official business or scholarships left the nation thus building a positive reputation for us. But now many of the low level REER BADIYO have also fled and are causing our reputation to suffer in diaspora countries with their poor level of educational attainment and criminal antics. It's a mess honestly, but as usual we will try to bring our prestige back however long it takes.
May Allah take Major General Siyad Barre and all officials loyal to the blessed Kacaan to Janatul Firdaus, Amiin.
Yeah I use siyad videos to prove to my friends we did have hope once. 91 and afterwards destroyed somali fabric to the point ppl r plotting even in diaspora to 'snitch' to intelligence officers for terrorists among other qabils, their finding out info of frauds, single mothers, or anything 'suspicious' on 'other clans' and giving tip offs to officials and asking for 'help' for their clan in somalia as good ppl living with bad somalis HECK gangs turn on each other in diaspora also its like moryan era spread to diaspora also after 91 legacy. Isaaq do this well the 'image selling' kkkkkk and it actually works on tourists, cnn anderson, damn propaganda level shit if massive but quickly shut down with science.
