The Rise and Fall of Siad Barre and the story of Socialist Somalia | African Biographics

- For over three decades, Somalia has been at the centre of armed conflict waged in the country by a variety of groups. The overthrow of the Siad Barre’s military regime in Somalia, on 27 January 1991, was the beginning of this state of chaos in Somalia.
Mohamed Siad Barre’s autocratic rule over Somalia began with a coup d’état, including the murder of the former President Abdirashid Ali Shermarke on 15 October 1969, and his rule lasted twenty-two years (1969-91).
The Barre regime became increasingly oppressive and violent in the late 1970s through the 1980s, although mass atrocities did not begin until later.
In this episode of African Biographics,we look at the rise to power, eventual demise and death of Mohammed Siad Barre as well as a brief history of Socialist Somalia.

Good stuff, AB!
Somali history didn’t start or end with barre but it’s a 15 min video talking about a complex country
I hope somalia will have peace 🇺🇲 to 🇸🇴
nice video mate.
Thank you
Under him, Somalia rises and to the peak and descended to anarchy. He took his successes to far that he destroyed all that he had built for his nationalism spirit
From great president to tribe chief
Siad barre in a nutshell
He didnt destroy the somali citizens wanted to benefit frombtheir love for tribalism. Plz do some research before you point fingers.he was a great leader in his time he encouraged the education for both boys and girls, he was against fgm,he improved the healthcare overall as a somali who was born much later after the war i feel deeply saddened by the fact that my people stil arent satisfied with no one.
@@captaincash1035 why you bringing qabil into this Somalis are Somalis you're the reason why Somali will never be peaceful again.....
@@munahfarxan3964 He was the worst leader Somalis had ever seen, this man has murdered thousands of people and has destroyed the Somalis from within. He hired mercenaries to bomb Hargeisa indiscriminately killing thousands of people. He summarily executed countless innocent people, turn Somalia from hopeful nation into hopelessness. To this day, he is the most hated worst leader somalis have ever seen.
Excellent history video!
As a young man starting to learn where things went wrong with our country, I find it difficult to comprehend that tribal issues are the roots of the problems we are still facing to this date.
I don’t understand what the need for representatives of different clans when the society has one core believes and that society is under on diversity group category.
Why are we so focused on clans when we can strive to build one solid government because we are small enough in terms of our differences.
We had so much going on for us before all the complex issues emerged such as being one of the most advanced society in Africa in a lot of categories such as education and economy.
clans fighting each other and yet tribes thrive among each other.
Well narrated 👏! I like history because we learn something from it. But the way I see him in the video, he was trying very much to avoid the country to slide into the wrong way, but sometimes many situations in life is hearder to control! I cannot blame him.
GREAT COMMENTARY, LEARNED A LOT.
Amazing video.
Thank you
Grest stuff. Very well done; succinct.
You can see the joy by the people thinking life would get better, if only they were shown their future, thanks for such informative video
Thanks for this video
Thank you for making these bio videos. Keep 'em coming.
Nice video. Maybe you should have talked about Siad switching allegiance to the West before talking about the Ogaden Conflict. I was confused that you'd initially talk about Barre being staunchly pro-Soviet and suddenly as you talked about the Ogaden conflict suddenly he was backed by the US without any info on why or when that happened.
Thank you for the feedback, it's really useful and I appreciate it :)
Essentially Barre did not have a choice because the USSR withdrew its aid and sided with Ethiopia. Also the Cubans sided with Ethiopia since Fidel Castro accused Barre of been a chauvinist and not a so-call true socialist. Even then US President Jimmy Carter did not send aid to Barre during the conflict because President Carter on principle could not sanction the annexation of a sovereign territory by another state. The official American military aid came after the defeat of the Somalian army.
I much appreciate your pertinent response .Siad Barre was a n African dictator tolerated and supported by the U.S.A. and the western country , before Ogaden war. And these Western countries did nothing against the murders, atrocities and the patent violation of human rightts , for which this ruthless despicable dictator was accountable
Barre converted to christianity with the Americans who promised him weapons to kill his fellow Somalis if he did so
@@boredalchemist wtf bro that's some bullshit
This is good.Give us more on the Ogaden conflict next time please
For the past 30 years Somaliland has built Somaliland from the ashes of genocide and we rise! So please tell the whole story-and check your facts my brother--there are many who call us a break-away region -Somaliland is not a 'breakaway region" and it is not 'self declared"! We did NOT secede from Somalia but rather dissolved a "Union" with it. Somaliland's Soverignty was negotiated through a "royal proclamation' which makes our independence from Britain total, legal and binding." Therefore Somaliland is a Sovereign Nation!!
Nope you United and then broke away so it’s a break away region
Your iidoor and you are minority groups you can say whatever you like.We run Somali since and now. We teach iidoor a lesson
Not a recognised country garac. Long live Siad Barre.
Somaliland is not a recognised country or sovereign state. It is a break away semi autonomous region of Somalia. It is internationally recognised as a state of Somalia and will remain so InshaAllah.

It beats logic why and how Somalia, a nation whose people have so much in common,, culture, religion or even language has sank this low,,, it seems that when the differences are small,, the conflicts are bigger
Yes, it is quite difficult to understand how an ethnostat can be trapped in such a terrible conflict. As I see it, the problem is tribalism and people who blindly follow their tribal leader to death and destruction.
Yes am somali and im angry too
Because they aren't that homogenous. Their clans are basically like ethnic groups. Several languages exist too(standard somali, af maay, kijuni...) and the area is semi desertic so there is also a fight over ressources. They never lived under one single authority actually

This Channel is amazing, it is interesting to learn more about Africa and its Dictators, Rebel Leaders and Politicans. A very underreported issue. But it is fascinating also how Coup de Etat follow mostly the same aspects in Guatemala it was also always the same song that was played on the radio to signify that there was a coup. On another issue it is sad to see how many of the dictators has good plans but got corrupted bu power.
you were doing well until the part where you said that Siad Bare escaped into kenya in a tank.No you got it wrong. he arrived in kenya in MILITARY C130 plane which landed at JKIA and was impounded after many years being left parked in SECURE SIDE OF THE AIRPORT.
he was then taken to safaripark hotel where he stayed with his entire entouarage...racking up bills of up to ksh 4million in those days.he left kenya after 9 months for Nigeria because kenya government would not let him wage war or organize anything in his former country while staying in kenya..risking kenya to be drawn into that conflict. perhaps with hindsight kenya should have helped stabilize somalia then 1990s and instead waited 20 yrs untl terrorists took over ..rest is history.
In 1960s Most businesses in Somalia were owned by Italians the national language in Somalia was Italian There were not enough schools and hospitals in Somalia there were not enough farms in Somalia and most farms were owned by Italians but everything had changed when Siyad Barre became president in 1969 he kicked the Italians out of Somalia and gave the businesses and farms to the Somali people he built a lot of schools, hospitals, sea ports, airports and factories he built strong military he made Af-Somali (the mother tongue) the national language of Somalia he teach the Somali people how to write Af-Somali before him nobody used to write Af-Somali he used to help Nelson Mandela and the South African people he used to help Eritrea, Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia and Djibouti to get independence
It’s just talk, everything was built ussr and chine it was from former pm sharmake 1962 sign with ussr , so former dictator blood sucker sayid barre , he never got new signature from any other country who helped .
"Became president"
He chose to betray his African and Soviet allies and attack Ethiopia. He chose war. And that war destroyed him.
Had he chosen the path of honour, things would have been better.

@@darklight8338 do you have any source
More great content ! I feel like I do not fully understand the Ogaden War and why two socialist nations could not make peace and share sea access. In Cold War Africa you either gave up socialism or save up your life. Sadly even those that chose the US as an ally were abandoned after their usefulness expired Barre, Amin, Tshombe, and Mobutu all fell from Grace. Keep up the good work I have liked subscribed and turned on notifications ✊🏿
The reason they fought was that Ethiopia was occupying land that historically belonged to somalis hence somalia wanted it back and was winning the war when the Soviet union decided to betray somalia and six communist countries ganged up on somalia
@@kingundefeated6550 u lost me here. somalis that inhabited the ogaden have nothing to do with somalis in Italy except for trade, they never been under one rule. Ethiopia took control of it and established cities like Dire Dawa and Jijiga which have the two biggest cities in Ethiopia somalia. interestingly both cities are located in the Ethiopian Highlands so does most of the population. east side of Ethiopia was semi-dry land not many people inhabited it. Somlai was trying old excuse to get the territory.
@@newshot3191 let me educate you on one thing about somalis, regardless of our petty quarrels we share everything and we put our Somaliness above everything . I’m from the south of somalia yet Half of my family is from west of Somalia ( Jigjiga and dire dawa ). 1977 was a war to get back western Somalis which the British annexed and we would have had it, had Ethiopia not cried to the world to help them which why the west came running Russia, usa, Cuba, Yemen and all these coin ganging up on somalia. Learn history before frothing at the mouth.
Because socialism always fails to reach its goals.
@@newshot3191 It isn't an excuse, many countries in Europe united due to pan ethnic nationalism. Without it where would Italy, Germany, Poland, and Ireland be? Without it, where would Ukraine get their morale in their struggle against Putin's Russia?
I like history especially history of Kenya's neighbours but shame on me, didn't know how Ogaden ended up in Ethiopia. Great content!
Ye it's Unfortunate.
You should also know how Morden day Northern Kenya ended up the artificial country called Kenya.

Tatenda wakapengaaaaaa love this channel
United States did not help at all Somalia during the Ogaden war, as Siad Barre was expecting . Whilst Soviet Union helped massively Ethiopia with the equivalent of USD 1 bn in 1977-1978. This was a big failure of Carter administration and a victory of Leonid Brejnev . The latter ordered the invasion of Afghanistan by Soviet military in 1979 . I am surprised to see that Americans never did a good effective job , despite their enormous means and structures , during the geostrategic stakes in 70's . Fortunately Ronald Reagan became US President in 1980 , and stroke back effiiciently against the Brejnev doctrine of world domination
Siyad Bare was a great leader for Somalia.
Democracy designed from the west will not work for Africa.
LOL. Sure he was.
Somali’s after Siad Barre was overthrown : You have freed us!
The warlords who overthrew him : Oh I wouldn’t say freed for like under new management
Very brave dictator, loved by his people, now they are crying for his comeback
only his darod tribe is crying for him as they have back to being weak and abused minority
@@sakasaruuni101 true.

are you joking?
@@engmohamedomaradan5024 All his gedo clansmen loved him.
Barre's relationship with the US only happened after the Ogden War (1977-1978) because the Soviet Union not supporting him. The USA didn't know or care until after the conflict ended.
false, the aided him with 100 million U.S dollars during the war although significantly less that what Ethiopia got from S.U
After Soviet union withdrew from somalia. China. Come in somalia
Siad Barre is the worst thing to happen to the Somali nation. He sought power without having a clue as to what he might do with it. He bears a very large responsibility for Somalia's sorry state. Somalia will never amount to anything ever again and that is in large part due to Barre's disastrous rule.

Only saying the truth my friend💯!
You're welcome.
Story we need to listen to
Its unfair to talk about his millitary doings without talking abt his development actions. He was so much into farming and self sufficiency that everyone was given land to till,education was highly regarded that even the pastrolists were issued with books and teachers to teach them as they moved from place to place. He made many students scholarships programmes and education was free back then,something most African countries are yet to achieve till today,He also made Somalia a production centre and there were factories for almost everything,another thing most african countries are yet to achieve. He wiped out his good deeds with his bad actions in his late years but that doesnt mean we shouldnt acknowledge them
All the developments, education, scholarships were given to Sayad Barre's tribe
HA HA HA
Much of the late stuff after his car accident were by his deputies and clan and not himself! He used to be outraged when heard things they did. He was not himself mentally after that and they took advantage of that

He had done A lot of good, but he also had his moment where he lost his way
kk that must be the understatement of the century (his moments) which moments are you referring to? like massacring his own people or bombing his own second capital city, just because they were different tribes . through that you are relative Mr Barre, as you are displaying the some moral compass of the brutal man.
@@burcaawidb5170 yeah that’s exactly what I mean.
@@burcaawidb5170 I am convinced that, in general, Siad Barre did more good than bad for Somalia. Of course, one can always find negative things, no one is perfect, but he was a man who was more challenged than any other president in the world. His challenge was that he was the leader of a country that had an inherent disease. This terrible disease was and still is tribalism. Somalia has still not found a solution to the country's worst problem to this day. For the first time in 30 years, a president who is not a warlords has been elected. Although crazy tribal leader is trying to put sticks in the wheel, the country seems to be finally starting to get on the right track.
@@ziyaulansari2759 my dear learned friend i will probably agree with you that he achieved a great success in his early years. due to the fact ,he was willing to listen to all the people (his government) regardless of their tripe. however as soon as he introduced his policy kill every one but my tribe, that is when he destroyed everything that his government achieved miraculously within a short period. and it has reached KILL every one but the CROWS in the northern parts of his own country. unless we look back in our short history with rationalism and not silly tribalism we will be nothing, but beggars and shameless nation, it is a simple fact .
@@burcaawidb5170
my friend, your narrative is out of proportion. Siad Barre did not promote any of what you write. I am usually against totalitarian regimes, but when a country has built-in errors (tribalism) which are almost impossible to get rid of, and this creates a situation where people despite the same language, religion and skin color can not sit down and have a civilized and fruitful conversation, then the solution can be nothing but leader who rules with an iron fist. Siad Barre had more enemies in the country than outside the country. The controversial things he did were not on the basis of tribalism, but political disagreements. You superficially try to associate his actions to be motivated by tribalism, but if there was anything he hated, it was tribalism. His cabinet consisted of people from all tribes. as you mentioned, we shouldn't look at his controversial actions through tribalist glasses, but instead a more rational approach, otherwise it will perpetuate tribalism and tribalism has already cost hundreds of thousands of innocent Somali lives.

The war of ogaden somalia had not get any support for the USA while Ethiopian get the support of Soviets union
Siad barre is one who coused dhe problem of Somalia now he devastated some of the clans of Somali he defeated the nascent democratic government in somalia 1969
Siad Barre have committed Genocide on Somalians itself
Mengistu regime have exacerbated the famine and killed many Ethiopians
Such dictators seems greatest threat to Africa and Africans
Siyad barre was one of the greatest President of all the time get your facts right
Siad Barre loved his country but unfortunately lack of wisdom was his undoing.
he shouldn't have attacked Ethiopia he could have just made friendly relations with neighbors and continued the growth of his country
Every African warlord lacks wisdom. That’s exactly why their population will prosper
I would love to see a documentary on Mengistu Haile Mariam, the dictator of Ethiopia who was known for his admiration of Joseph Stalin.
All Somali people were divided by the British Italy and French some somali regions were given to Kenya and eithopia while Djibouti region was taken by France while north was taken by British and south was taken by Italy so the British gave the northern its independence on 26 June 1960 coz somalis knew they were already being divided and everyone wanted all somalis to be 1 nation the northern decided to wait the southern independence so to unite with them as one nation while the Italy gave the south after 4 days on 1 July 1960 and they were united as a Somali nation

😂😂
If you’re not Somali and are wondering why such a people with so much in common I.e religious, cultural, language homogeneity etc cannot resolve their little differences it’s because there’s a small spineless, greedy , corrupt , selfish pathetic group of people who somehow rose to the top of our society and became our leaders therefore nothing I mean absolutely nothing gets done unless they get a cut , most of our leaders today were friggin warlords yesterday, others were even what today is alashabab and they shamelessly want to become president, Therefore you have people trying to destroy the fragile government from within , obviously if we had a strong central or even federal government we would tackle our other issues I.e health care, education, security , there’s no manual for what’s happening in Somalia today , Just pray for us and May God help us , we are so tired of the war and insecurity.
Well said brother
On this episode you are either misinformed the facts on that history especially how the regime ruled or didn't want apply the accuracate history of what happened.
I never knew this
there was stability because islamic terrorism didnt exist during his time but he started killing the other clans and destroyed the country with genocide
War solves nothing
Barre was a great leader.
@Bruno Lito yes he was horrible to the traitors
he was a dictator
@@abdulfatahjamar7314 anybody that uses words like 'dictator' to describe African leaders doesn't have an original thought in their heads. If you can read and write in your own language, guess what...
.
He was responsible for that
@@humbleguy3963 He was a dictator that killed a democratically president.
@@abdulfatahjamar7314 the president was killed by his own bodyguard. Stop listening to your clan propaganda and read a book or something please. Take care. I'm done here
God bless siad barre Somalia missed him so much
May Allah have mercy on him
He ain't coming back

He wasn't dictator he was very intelligent man but didn't get people understand well with him one mistake was the fight with Ethopia instead to done with talk
he was dictator and he killed 1million civilian
@@sumaya6201 only the wicked and pathetic who got lack of patriotism they were so much into clanism
@@jahadibrahimtv7958 It's you who has no patriotism as you are the one who denies that Afweyn killed your fellow Somalis
He became the president through a coup🤦♂️🤦♂️

President Siad Barre was a hero. He united all the Somalis to make Somalia great again. He is very missed by all the Somalis. Thanks to Allah we have Farmaajo a good President
Your a tribalist marxeaan who is lying in Ramadan
no sense.
@@prosl11 I'm Madaluug, Dir.
@@havilahkuush7110 They always accuse us of being Marehan when we praise good leaders. We can't help what tribe they are from.
@@Makh927 Your right 👍. Mostly Bantus saying that. You know Siad build my city in Awdal region. We miss him alot.
A great president is the one who built his nation and transferred power to his party .A dictator is the one who stay power forever for himself for his clans and we have that person in Africa from west to the Hornet of Africa
Siad Bare made somalia the most powerful influential country in Africa , separatist backed by Soviet Ethiopia caused the mess somalia is in
Hands down the most dangerous somalian ever
It's annoying and devastating to know the mistake of what's happened in Somalia for a state machinery attempt to persecute Isaac Clan is repeated by President Abiy of Ethiopia by killing and targeting region/tribe.African leader seems they don't learn how to manage a diversity communities
Will there ever be peace in Somalia?
Yes there’s peace right now
thanks@@Wrestlingbro600 good to know, maybe I will visit Somalia
Somalia never recovered and I hope they never recover!

Do ETHIOPIANS actually know what their name means and who named them. ETHIOPIA MEANS LAND OF THE PEOPLE WITH THE BURNT FACES. As a human being from Somalia, from the East side of the continent, I could never be proud to call myself a burnt face especially after a racist and insulting description from the people who are not of the burnt faced people.
