Siyad Barre was not president of a nation

Post by JolieFi »

He was a Zoo keeper and the gates of the Zoo was opened in 1991


Somalia was like a zoo run by a powerful gatekeeper The gate keeper had servants working under him.( Aideed) One day some servants got fed with the gatekeeper and decided to oppose him. The gatekeeper used his chains to beat off the servants disloyal to him. The gatekeeper greatest fear was not the servants opposing him but the wild animals locked in the cages. The servants in their final throw of dice decided to sabotage the cages and broke open the locks. Seconds later wild animals have been set loose killing everything. The servants were finally over joyed. The wild animals have come to their rescue. Now they too can become gate keepers. Hooray

The gatekeeper was gone at last. Until they realised the truth. The truth which only the gatekeeper understood. These wild animals were truly wild. And they instantly turned on everyone including those hapless servants. In the end the wild animals have assumed total control over the zoo.

He saved Somalia for a civil war in 1969. Thanks to him the inevitable civil war and turmoil was delayed for 21 years.

If Siyad Barre was not a dictator, then people would not have turned into animals.

Somali aan balo qabiin ayee bilaween balayaad (Rebel groups) The people did not turn against him, it was corrupt and power hungry political and military officials who was part of the government that went to Ethiopia and plotted the destroction of the Somali republic, after that shit turned into qabyalaad. If it was the people, the country would have looked different, and not loot & destroyed.

Isn't eating raw-meat enough of an animalish-like behavior.


Had Barre continued his dictatorship, he would have probably met the same fate as Gadafi and the rest of the dictators today.
