Everyone knows Siyad Barre was blood socking tyrant dictator who ruled Somalia over 21 years: So what has he accomplished?
Every dictator has his day in the open: Siyad was no exception!
He died lonely, and alone in overseas bathroom in Nigeria.
He has said he want to stay in power for the good of Darood, but we've tried to tell him know his time was done, but he never listen....just as any loose mind dictator clinging to power would have, he refused to step aside.
His supporters, mainly Mareexaan and Ugaadeen have accepted his downfall, good or bad, yet continued to support him. But we took the heat because it was the right thing to do, and have received the consequence of his failed leadership.
So, now, Mareexaan is a done issue. A/Y brilliantly handled it. He has said he is not responsible for what is happening in Kismayo, but Mareexaan IS, and the people will accept it as such. That would be the ultimate fall of Mareexaan, IMO>
However, I love the effort to portray Siyad Barre as somehow a "Saint", yet every thing since his bathroom episode has been nothing but disaster PR on the part of the Marexaan who want to establish him as decent president, that he is not.
