I am sure if Abdullahi yusuf does the same. He will end up in the same fate as maxamed Siyad and I see that happening already. Whether these positions are a handful of a much larger pond, it does however show you that key positions, and I mean KEY positions, were given to men like his nephew, son's in law, brothers and other family members.
I am not disputing some if not the majority were educated. They could have produced Websters dictionary. The most important part is to show the nepotism involved.

Aydiid could have very well been an idiot. But his moryaans sick rapers of 80 year old women and his mission of genocide against a particular clan obvious. Nothing will justify these acts.
Aydiid squandered a lot of oppurtunities to fix somalia up. He choose his maniac vengenance.
However AW overall perspective of accountability and putting the blame on the shoulders of Siyad is partly correct. he caused the rebel groups by jailing key men, executing others and the nepotism of his overall regime.
Ofcourse M.S Barre was not fully responsible or more responsible then others. Abdullahi yusuf will tell you he started the civil war and
he thinks he is ending it today
Aideed is responsible, AY is responsible, Siyad is responsible and many other men.
Nepotism is nepotism. I am sure bush cronies in the white house bearucracies are all educated. But they are all there because of some sort of relationship with bush. For heavens sake the only reason bush won the first election is because his fathers friends were in the supreme court and his cousin is an executive at fox, which was the first media group to switch Florida from a blue Gore state, to a red Bush state, which turned the tide in the election. Oh and don't forget his brother was the governor of florida.
