From what i've read, Barre appears to be the one to have had the longest, most far reaching effect on the Somali political and historical landscape.

Than you need to revise your list.

Here some of them just incase..

Omar Arte put your asz on the map and for some crazy reason sold the idea of Somali being Arab to the Arab world. Cigaal is the other one, arguably the best politician of Somali History. Muse Galal wrote Somali language. Gahayr translated most of science books from English to Somali. He was so influential The Somali National University was named after him. The SNM Hero. Yes there was no warlord like Aydeed or Cabdilahi Yusuf but they changed the Geography of Somalia permanently.

Dhaga, that's a good point you put forth, about Galal being the most influential, as the language will have the most long term positive impact on Somalia. And over time, history will bear this out.
