A Laandheere always pays his debts
We transitioned from being Africans first democrats (The first African nation to seamlessly transition from one president to another - Aden Adde to Sharmarke) to being a dictatorship in 1969. That is a major jump and deterioration. Then 1991 was the nail in the coffin.

There are a few things to mention however: The civil war technically began in 1978 post-Ogaden, because by definition 1991 was anarchy, it transcended warfare given no one was at the helm.

- 1969 itself didn't actually cause harm and looking at reports at the time, public welcolmed it given the clandestine and corrupt nature of the democratic govt at the time (grass is always greener). Kacaan was pretty successful for about a decade until 1978, then 15 years of civil war turned anarchy.

- Every nation goes through political turmoil and difficulties, but 1991 was a special case of unruly behaviour by moryaans who essentially made us the face of destitution and disruption politically.

- Siyaad Barre ripped the social fabric of society, Aideed burnt the remnants. Both of their roles in destroying Somalia go hand-in-hand.

1991 was the point Somalia would go into self-destruction however.
