did somalia die with siyad barre ?

[Musa26]

i don't believe somalia is a country anymore. when i heared kenya wants some of somalia's sea this is when i knew i had been right all along. when siyad barre died somalia died with him.

now its down to the rest of you to also let it die. stop holding on to this imaginary country and let it go with the wind

Barre had the oportunity to change Somalia history but his many failures destroyed the country and its future aspirations.

No, I have nothing against siyaad but the guy was the worst think that ever happened to Somalia, after he came to power you no longer needed to go the university to get a gov job, know what I mean

[GalliumerianSlayer]

Technically the nation died in 1969 with the end of the Somali Republic.... when Ali Sharmake (aun) was assassinated by his own clans men

77 WAR FAILURE marked Barre's totalitarian phase.

91 Somalia Democratic republic collapses

ever since we've became a colony to IGAD. Where people hold signs such as 'wITHOUT KDF, JUBBALAND IS DOOMED'

Biggest mistake was his incursion into Ethiopia that specific moment was the beginning of the fall of Somalia as a Nation.

an orderly transition of power is unfortunately not in the somali vocabulary. barre stepping down though would of led to a power vacuum and the results would pretty much be the same.
i am of the believe that today there is no such thing as somalia. and this is clearly evident by somalia's neighbours not only occupying it but also seeking to make land grabs as is the case with the current dispute between somalia and kenya over maritime borders.

the quicker somalia can Balkansise then the better for everybody

I did like how he tried to replace foreign loan words, however.

No, I know Somali republic died in 1969 when amatour 'scientific socialists' with nepotistic militery took the country at ransom. A country that was still crawling on all fours.

Barre could win the war but many factors avoided this probable victory. Many Somalis felt betrayed when Barre retreated from Ogaden in 1978. He was not an expert soldier and his knowledge about the art of war was limited, at best.
