Video of 1969 Coup in Somalia

[Kalshaale]

An era of great Somali patriotism. An era that will never return to the Somali people. An era where clan-militias, terrorists, corrupt politicians and "NGO's" did not operate willingly in the Somali Republic.

The coup that destroyed Somalia

Who knows what Somalia would have been like Abdirashid Ali Shermarke was not assassinated because it was truly a loss for Somalia. Although I am not going to deny the fact that Siad Barre did improve the country.

You misunderstand, I'm overjoyed by the progress Somalia as a whole has made, I just don't understand what happened. Why is Somalia a failed state after more than a quarter century if the coup against the hated dictator was so spectacularly successful?

Because there were no institutions, everything revolved around him, once he was gone, all pillars of society went with him. The other thing was that their was a lot of anger and animosity built over years. Anyways ANU to siyad barre,
