Siad left the country on 26th of January. In the years/months that followed his departure, hawiyes were fighting each other in Xamar, Daroods fighting each other in Kismayo and Isaaqs annihilated each other in Berbera and Burco. You can't blame him for that.
Do not take any blame off of him, DO NOT DO THAT!
Here's why!
The was the absolute leader of Somalia and he chose to inflame the already gun powder that we've have for centuries, qabiilism. He knew dam well not to play with this ticking time bomb.
Somalia is one of those nations that if ever led by a dictator that the result will be a guaranteed collapse of the statehood. The other country like us is Iraq. In a situation like this the best he could've done was to get the country ready for one man one vote. He had the ultimate chance to drive Somalia towards a culture of elections, proper elections. Heck, they could've even had something like Myanmar where the Military is the final decision maker while a civilian government leads the other things.
Ultimately he chose to drive this ship to the ground, no excuse adeer, no effing excuse. He made the people bahal, he got them ready to implode. When he let go power it was over by that time. Somalia was ripe for catastrophe, complete and utter catastrophe.
