The legacy of president Siyad Barre (1969-1991), Loved by many, Cursed by many.

[jamal859]

I think many in the diaspora have got no clue of how much liked Siad Barre is and this cuts across qabil. I don't know of the Somali north but in the south and especially Somalis in Ethiopia and nfd, the guy is a legend. I have been to southern Somalia and interacted with Somalis from all clans and they all speak highly of him regardless of clan. Actually to the minority clans in the south, they even like him more than his own clansmen, he helped them a lot I heard by making them part of the Somali community and ending discrimination against them.
Now to Somalis in Ethiopia and nfd, these people 'worship' barre. These are the people he helped more than any other. My own family were exiled from nfd and jaalle Siyad settled them in kismayo along with tens of thousands other refugees from nfd and more than a million from Ethiopia. I remember once I was in wajir county and was speaking to some degodia hawiye elders and someone mentioned Siyad barre, the entire place lit up with joy and jubilation. I asked why?
They answered that in the 1980s Kdf was planning on targeting their clan b4 the wagalla massacre and Siyad barre threatened to invade Kenya if they continued the persecution of that clan. Kdf retreated from their villages.

All Daarood worship him specially Mareexaan ogaadeen and Dhulos.

In Buhoodle if a woman can't bare a child they hang the picture of Afweyne when her man is banging her and in the morning wam she is pregnant.

You are stupid and idiot cunt with your obsession with Darood
Siad Bare regime had nothing to do with only Darood but all the Somali qabiils were involved including lion share for Isaaq
So stop your pranoi you stupid Kufaar Iidoor.

Afweyne fed you and your mother from the daaroodism welfare and 99.9% of his efforts were based on daaroodism and almost the entire government was run by his daarood.

Stop bleating reality bites.

When I see posts like this i know somalis live in a parallel universe
The guy built 1 cement factory, 1 minor fishery, & 1 city. You guys are proud of 1 cement factory for a country & 1 road, my city has about 15 cement factories . Shitty leader, shitty dictator, shitty development, shitty country & a shitty death(pun intended)

Marexaan and dhulos are 100% insane about Barre. The guy was a shit leader, Somalis just have low to no standards . Those 2 clans haven't done anything since his death to better their condition , just stuck in a false time lapse of propaganda thinking they're dervishes & ahmed gurey

The legacies of Barre are defeat, chaos,death and abuses.

[xiimaaya]

The greatest Somali man history will favor it already favours him .

Barre was just a killer and a criminal. Somali people hate and despise him.
