Positive thing about Siad Barre was.

[grandpakhalif]

I met many, now middle aged, somali men who were either in college or had just completed high school in those days and those sons of guns are bitter.

my father was one of those guys....

Look at these atrocities made by Barre:

After the SNM launched a major offensive in northern Somalia in late May 1988, deterioration of the government's human rights record accelerated. The SNA used artillery shelling and aerial bombardment in heavily populated urban centers to retake the towns of Hargeysa and Burao. As a result, thousands of refugees gathered on the outskirts of these cities. After breaking into smaller groups of 300 to 500, the refugees started a ten- to forty-day trek to Ethiopia; others fled to Djibouti and Kenya. Along the way, SNA units robbed many civilians and summarily executed anyone suspected of being an SNM member or sympathizer. SAF jet aircraft strafed many refugee columns, forcing refugees to walk at night to avoid further attacks. Africa Watch reported that government forces had killed as many as 50,000 unarmed civilians between June 1988 and January 1990; most victims belonged to the northern Isaaq clan.

By 1990 security conditions had become as bad in central and southern Somalia as they had been in the north. As a result, the government enacted harsh new measures against opposition elements. In Mogadishu, for example, SNA personnel and members of the various security agencies regularly raped, robbed, and killed noncombatant citizens. The emergence of bandit groups in the capital only exacerbated security problems in Mogadishu. On July 6, 1990, some of Siad Barre's bodyguards, the Red Berets (Duub Cas), started shooting at people who had been shouting antigovernment slogans at a soccer match

CoolPoisons,the video is very interesting but it doenst change the fact that Somalia lost the war in 1978.

We are talking about Siad Barre atrocities against his own people,if you want to talk to me about Ogaden War you can create another topic.

qoraxeey:Go away.

Sorry but I can not do that.

I will leave this forum when somebody can prove me that Somalia won the Ogaden War until then I stay here.
