The Kacaan had the last laugh the enemies are today either died or hiding somewhere pathetic
As I said, there were regrettable mistakes made in some cases, even though what you characterize as the "hammer" was an unfortunate but ultimately necessary response to existential threats emanating from neighboring countries. Although Somalia was not a democracy, few could ignore the substantial progress Somalia made during this time period. Make no mistake, Somalia was the preeminent power in the HoA during a period where our neighbor Ethiopia couldn't even feed its own people. If you told the people of 1991 what their Ethiopian-sponsored rebellion would cost them, I doubt they would be so quick to point fingers at XHKS.skywalker25 wrote: Based, why leave out the systematic use of tribalism or the monopolising of power by a single tribe.

Why must you Kacaanist focus on the few projects made in the early years and who's creators most likely ended up on the wrong side of a barrel. Why do you ignore the word Dictatorship and all the words associated with it, or did you live in democracy? I know it must have felt like one...

btw, before you claim it had nothing to do with Ethiopia, take a look at viewtopic.php?f=250&t=303304 and page 12 of http://dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a588599.pdf to see Ethiopia's open admission of their foreign policy during this era.

Lol "regrettable"? My parking ticket is regrettable. Stubbing my toe against a door is regrettable. The systematic dismantling of any and everything that it meant to be a proud Somali, the constant blunders both in domestic and foreign policy, the systematic silencing and brutal crackdown of any opposition (both actual and perceived), the discrimination and imprisonment of innocents from rival clans, the complete massacres of whole cities and towns to the point where Somalis preferred Ethiopians to their fellow Somalis and the utter selfishness in not letting go of power/admitting defeat even after losing the civil war and perpetuating further violence is what you call "regrettable"?Based wrote:As I said, there were regrettable mistakes made in some cases, even though what you characterize as the "hammer" was an unfortunate but ultimately necessary response to existential threats emanating from neighboring countries.

From 1969 to 1990, president and military dictator Siad Barre oversaw a campaign of widespread atrocities that decimated Somali civil society.
Publicly, Barre claimed to stamp out the clan system. Yet in practice, the regime ultimately did the opposite.
In the 1970s, Barre formed a new intelligence agency comprised of members of his clan called the National Security Service (NSS). Ostensibly responsible for intelligence and internal security, including monitoring security "offenses," the NSS became known as the "Black SS": a secret police force that used torture and arbitrary detention to suppress dissidents and curtail civil liberties.
In 1978, military officers from the Majeerteen clan launched a coup attempt. The Red Berets, military special forces, responded by destroying water reservoirs in Majeerteen areas. As a result, an estimated 2,000 Majeerteen died of thirst. Paramilitaries also waged a campaign of sexual violence against Majeerteen women.
