This is a letter to Siad Barre, from one of his admirers, may he rest in peace and may God bless his patriotic soul. I was born in March 1991, two months after your government was overthrown, Somalia was destroyed and various rebel groups based in the primitive clan system was struggling for power. The most of my family was fleeing for their lives from Mogadishu.

 

October 21, 1969 there was a heroic revolution which you liberated the Somali people from a regime of, tribalist, corrupt, incompetent, traitor, politicians ho hadn’t done anything for the Somali nation.

 

You gave the Somali language a written script, and every time I write or read on Somali your legacy is alive.

 

Under your rule Somalia got free modern education, so the Somali people could get knowledge and participate in building of the country and getting the proud Somali people out of ignorance, the proportion of people who could read and write increased from 12% to 70%!

 

In 1975 you gave the Somali women’s the recognition and equality they deserved, it was an impotent step in the long history of progress under you rule.

  

In 1977,you created a great and proud Somali army who was able to liberate the occupied West Somalia, if the Russian and the Cubans had not supported the enemies of the Somali people the dream of Somaliweyn had became reality.

 

You build a great health care system, you build roads, and you made Mogadishu to one of the most beautiful city in the World.  

 

Since you left us, the animals of USC, SNM, SSDF, SPM, destroyed the Somali republic, we all became refugees, our fish has been stolen and our waters has been dump place for humanity, the mooryaans of USC murded and raped the Somali people, the traitors of SSDF has now created Puntland an habashi slave state, the terrorists of SNM has done the same just with a fantasyland. We the Somali People miss you, we were something with you and animals with out you, 20 years since you left Somalia and we don’t have the brain to create any kind of law or order, the health care and education systems is destroyed, our women’s lives in the middle age, the enemies of the Somali people is controlling Somalia.
