Siad Barre was a killer,he destroyed the life of many somalis.

He killed many innocent somali women and children

He lost Ogaden War and brought shame to Somalia.

true he was the biggest disgrace in somali history.

somalis should feel lucky and grateful that they lived around the same time as gods mercy ina siyaad(AUN and may he dwell in jannah with the prophets,amin)

i cringe when ever I see some of these loser mention abaha ummada somaliyeed uril amrigi president mohamed siyaad barre, last king of the somalis and conqueror of ardul habash

siyaad barre guided by allah took the savage somalis from darkness to light, we can technically call him the Somali Messiah

most of these kids, their mothers used to sing guulwade siyaad shaking their ass in 21 oct, and now they want to make us believe that their mothers were nuns foking huns

EagleHawk.

Siad Barre destroyed Somalia State and killed thousands of somalis.

He failed to achieve his dream in 1977.

He was defeated in 1978

[STARKAST]

I'll say it again.

Everything he did is not worth even 1 life taken by invaders. This is what we have been reduced too. Think about it.

He was a great man who had his flaws.

Somalia's humiliating military defeat in early 1978 did not result
in its total disengagement from the Ogaden. Incursions of regular
Somali forces of up to battalion size were reported until a series of
Ethiopian victories in 1980, based on superior armaments and
control of the air, forced Somalia to curtail the use of regular units
in Ethiopian territory

Ethiopian military superiority and Somali war weariness added
to crushing economic burdens, and Siad Barre was induced to
adopt an increasingly conciliatory attitude

Somali national security perceptions in 1981 were largely dominated
by neighboring Ethiopia and by the Soviet Union which,
with its Cuban and East European allies, had supplied the training,
military equipment, troops, and advisers to place Ethiopia in an
overwhelmingly powerful position in the Horn of Africa

Most outside observers in 1981 did
not think Ethiopia would use its superior military forces to subjugate
Somalia, but it had the ability and, given the historical enmities
in the Horn, the Siad Barre government was concerned

Although their movement did not necessarily portend an
invasion of Somalia, Ethiopian armed forces in 1980—81 reinforced
their government's position in the Ogaden. In mid—1980 the
WSLF was able to claim control over 60 percent of the Ogaden;
but Somali forces suffered a series of reversals in the latter half of
the year, and Ethiopian forces advanced, assuming positions along
the border and conducting several border probes into Somali territory.

Beyond the threat of invasion, the presence of the Ethiopian
army near Somalia's frontier had undermined Somali security by
exacerbating a burdensome refugee problem and by supporting
an insurgency aimed at toppling the Siad Barre regime. Since the
Ogaden war the combination of drought and Ethiopian military
successes in the Ogaden had forced great numbers of refugees into
Somalia

Unable to counter Ethiopian military ascendancy in the Ogaden
and stymied by the Western arms embargo, the government in
Mogadishu swung around to a policy of détente in 1980, curbing
direct military activity in the Ogaden, reducing its support for the
WSLF, and calling for direct talks with Ethiopia

Most observers felt, however, that an invasion by
Ethiopian forces would be costly in military, economic, and diplomatic
terms and, if successful, would yield only a hostile and hungry
populace.

The balance of forces in the Horn was so
tenuous in 1981 that a massive reequipment program of the Somali
military could, according to some observers, simply provoke a
response by overwhelmingly strong Ethiopian forces

In the event of a concerted attack by Ethiopia's Soviet-equipped
225,000-man army, it appeared unlikely in 1981 that Somalia's
armed forces could halt the advance. Rather, according to at least
one source, the attacks would be opposed by popular resistance,
described as the "people's deterrent."
