'''Mohammed Siad Barre''' (Somali: Maxamed Siyaad Barre; Arabic: محمد زياد بري; c. 6 October 1919 – 2 January 1995) was a [[Somalia|Somali]] military strongman and [[Marxism|Marxist]] revolutionary with inspiration from [[Islamism]] trying to combine them (Islamo-Socialist), who seized power in a 1969 coup and ruled Somalia with an iron fist until 1991. As the country’s third president, Barre imposed a Soviet-style socialist regime that centralized power, suppressed dissent, and plunged the nation into decades of conflict and instability.

was the 3rd President of Somalia, however later in his rule he became more of a dictator leading to him being ejected from power in 1991 and forced to go into exile in Nigeria.
In 1960, Somalia gained independence from colonial rule, as the regions previously controlled by Italy and Britain united to form a new nation. What began as a hopeful step toward self-governance soon took a dark turn.

By 1991, after years of repression, civil war, and mounting opposition from across Somalia’s clans and regions, Siad Barre was overthrown and fled into exile—bringing an end to a disastrous regime that had plunged Somalia into chaos and set the stage for decades of unrest.
