Siyad Barre is not and was never responsibel for peoples personal choices. Prostitution, Atheism, and corruption existed way before Siyad Barre came to power. It was the government of Shermake with its appetite for foreign ideology, money, and women who brought such practices to somalia.
As for Communism, well in 1967 Shermarke and his Cabinet entourage went to Moscow to order the first batch of assitance, so who broug communism to Somalia? besides Siyad Barre and the Revolutionary Council should be thanked for writing the Somali language, for developing Somalia's economy, for modernizing industry, for buidling the massive highways that connected Mogadishu, Kismayo, Baidoa, Bosasso, and Hairgesa.
Siyad Barre ceased to rule Somalia as of 1986 after the tragic car accident. So for the civil war you should blame his underlings who ruin the economy, who brought back tribalism and classism, and who plundered the treasury. Lets not be biased.
