Sex, Power, and the Siad Barre Regime

Recommended Posts

I am not surprised by these stories at all.

 

“Get out of my office.”

True or not, that very statement sums up the essence of that era. All citizens were treated as subjects worthy of no dignity or respect. The systemic overreach by the "powerful" eventually stymied the progress of a whole generation, and led to ruin. It is the very reason that many, including my own family, took up arms against the regime. The constant humiliation was just intolerable.
