The overwhelming majority of #Somalis never said Siad Barre destroyed #Somalia. The narrative that Said Barre did such an act was invented and propagated by minorities, some who made a career out of pushing this narrative like Senator Samatar. The irony here is that #Israel dismembered #Somalia while Samatar is a sitting senator and the very HSM he supported on May 15, 2022 is sitting in Villa Somalia. There are plenty of lessons of Do's and Don's in the 21 years Siad Barre ruled Somalia But during Senator Samatar and HSM in Villa Somalia had been an unmitigated disaster, a dark era when country was dismembered by Israel.
