He is the reason Somalia suffered all that it has. He tried to wipe out the Ishaaq and Hawiye tribes and killed many innocent MJ people by poisoning their wells simply because of Abdullahi Yusuf and his cronies trying a coup.
Siad Barre used only the MOD clans to rule and it is no surprise that it is these people that support him.
This is the man who bought together religious sheikhs told them to renounce what Allah has proclaimed in the Quran and then he had all 13 or 14 executed on the stop, these were not men of war but Islamic scholars who were defending the faith. Even in Western countries they would never make you do this.
To make matters worse this is the man that said I came to Mogadishu when the Italians built only one road and by God I will destroy everything until there is only one road. oes this sound like a good leader who prioritizes his people first.
The man instigated a Daood v Hawiye clash by arming his clan and subclans against the Hawiye in Mogadishu. But perhaps his biggest most notorious crime was the systematic murder and shelling of civillians in Hargeisa which led to the death of over 50,000 innocent people, bombed and buried alive in their homes. Did he ever consider that these are his citizens, no he saw them as cockroaches that have to be exterminated.
Siad Barre died in a pitiful state, denied entry to Kenya and having is belongings stolen in Nigeria by Nigerian youths and he died in exile and irrelevant, I will not curse the man because he is dead, but Siad Barre was one of the worst African leaders ever and will go down in infamy!!
What a hater, half of these things are tales I have family members that were alive at the time of MSB AUN and he was a good leader although he wasn't so good on the deen side, he never did such things against sheikhs its all lies and propaganda just like lies and propaganda is created against every great leader for example Mammar Gaddafi. Of course the man worked hard for Somalia and didn't even have a penny to his name yet the Somali ppl didn't appreciate shit I would destroy everything I did for them too if I were him. And if he was a qabiliste tell me why he didn't prioritize his region last time I checked Gedo was a shit hole (no offence) if he was qabiliste he would be using Somali money to fund his tribal region like what half of these current Somali leaders do, care more about their fake tribal regions instead of the whole Somali nation. The man was gna die soon if Somalis were smart they would have waited for him to die. Funny how everyone wanted him to fall so they can be leaders, every farmer, shopkeeper, teacher and nomad wanted to replace him. Even after he died people couldn't replace him and continue running the country because like I said Somali people are uncivilised and deserve a harsh leader like MSB AUN.
Siyad Barre AUN was a Somali hero eat your heart out

He gave us free education and free health care and paradise on earth just wish I was alive back then so I could stunt in xamar and go to the riwayads and watch hasan aden samatr live
