The only difference is Siad Barre believed he could civilize the barbarians but civilizing them proved futile.
Have you ever questioned why the opposition groups were not based on advanced political positions but tribalism? SSDF (Majeerteen), SNM (Isaaq), USC (Hawiye), etc. <---That mentality of dividing themselves up like that tells you a great deal the ailments that has a grip on the Somali people.
kulahaa siyaad barre tried to civilised the barbarians. first of all wasn't siyaad barre somali himself and therefore a barbarian himself by your reasoning. i dont know how you could defend such man. the man was responsible for the murder of thousands of his OWN civilians. he bombed his own cities, he Fermented tribal tensions. he was the head of one of most corrupt regimes known to man. his cronies robbed and stripped what very little wealth somalis had.
if you call that civilised then there is something morally wrong with with you
