I didnโt know a lot of this. No wonder people were rebelling against siad he really fell off after 1977, his authoritarianism combined with economic hardship, corruption, and nepotism destroyed the country and his legacy. He should make a vid on socialist Somalia through 1969-1977, when the country was undergoing rapid growth and nationalism was at an all time high. Since our political pivot to the western world weโve been humiliated constantly. Shi they donโt even want a client state they want a anarchist one
I know a Somali guy heโs like 50 something left Somalia in 1985 along with many other educated Somalis he fled to North Carolina nice man wallahi became a teacher while others fled to San Diego
Siad Barre was low iq. We could have had a bunch of wonks and technocrats leading the country in their respective fields but he was on the same shit saddam hussein was on minus the actual results.
He should have stayed as a military high ranking officer
