What a leader.
The Father of Modern Somalia.
The Heralder of Somali Freedom.
The Liberator of Somali lands.
The Civilizer of the Somali People.
His Excellency, Major General Jaale President Mohammed Siyaad Barre Abdille, God will reward you for all the good you have done for
the singlularly most illiterate, backward people and culture on earth.

here we go again, self hating and disrespectful
you speak like the foreign colonists who claimed to civilize Somalis by attempting to change their culture and history, MSB(aun) despite having defficulties with Somalis always worked for the development of his land, culture, people, history etc
you comments are on called for and extremely contradictory to the Video it self, MSB(aun) clearly states that Somalis were a partner of Soviet but never depended on it.
anyway
nice video, although Somalis have a way of not appreciating great leadership even when they see the results of the absence of basic leadership.
it is always neccessary for the educations of the few decent people, but overal i dont think it was appropriate to post the video here as a majority of Snet has no respect for the elders, prominent figures and the people who past away.
