Aishah,
Relax. I never said 'we'. I means me not you, not Rambie, not theYuusuf not fictional Arab father Sh Isaxaaq
What you guys respect, like, dislike, immortalise are your own choices.
I don't do things becoz some beel expects such and such, I go with my mind, my thoughts and my values.
You may hate Barre and still see scars but to me he was a good leader that eventually lost direction. We took arms. We answered his challenge and he has been long below six feets underground.
There is no need for hate or same views from 1980s. Move on and set your mind free and don't forever be resentful because those who are also hold it against "their own".
So I wish nothing but AUN to Barre and all the others who had lost their lives over pitty things such as arrogance, shortsighted pride and tribes.
From leadership perspective he did many things right and all Africans know it even his biggest enemies. They still credit him.
I happened to be small percentage of Somalis who don't carry a chip on their shoulders.
I will applaud Barre for the things he did right and learn from his mistakes.
The Haud
