[herndonhomer]

I'm not 100% sure about this, but i think somalia has had the most presidents in africa since independence. I saw a few people tweet about that as if it was something to be proud of. nothing to be proud of, just means instability.

Siyaad barre was a dictator if you are going to separate things, he does not belong on a list with Adan iyo Abdirashidm.

lol dictator doesn't not make u a President.

[IRONm@N]

its something to be proud of. its a sign of progress and democracy.
compared to Libya. Kaddafi from 1950s to 2010
or to Kenya, which had only, Jomo Kenyatta, Arap Moi and the current.

[Alphanumeric]

2012-1960 = 52 years. If we are to assume a presidential term is 4 years, then we should have had 13 presidents, at the most. Since 1960, America has had 11 presidents. With the possibility of a 12th very soon.

[Alphanumeric]

If we're not counting dictators, then Africa as a whole has had about 7 presidents in the last 50 years.

[The_Emperior5]

Waryaadhaheeen yaan la is xaqirin General Maxammad siad bare was a President maybe not elected but he was a President

[Siciid85]

He was not even selected but came through coup d'état, kuwa TFGa baba dhaama atleast they came with the voice of hundreds of Somalis lol.

[Advo]

President is simply the head of state

[Alphanumeric]

President is simply the head of state

Internationally recognized*...

Essentially, the only difference between a warlord and a dictator is that one is successful in seizing power.

He was not even selected but came through coup d'état, kuwa TFGa baba dhaama atleast they came with the voice of hundreds of Somalis lol.

In before this disappears as well, and I look like a nutcase.

[Shirib]

Okay, illiterate Somali's here's the definition of a President

the highest executive officer of a modern republic

No where in there does it say that they have to be elected or anything like that. Siyaad was the last real President of Somalia.
