Mohamed Siad Barre

She's a representative in the US House of Representatives.

Do we ever hear her say, "I came from Somalia that was war-torn, ravaged, a complete failed state because a dictator for ten years named Siad Barre had murdered two hundred thousand people of the Isaaq tribe who wanted to break away and get away from his dictatorship and form a enclave called Somaliland versus Somali." Does she ever say that? Better yet, does she say, "And I have s- another disclosure to make.

My father was a well-known colonel in that army of aggression, and there have been accusations that he participated in the type of tactics that led to this genocide." Or she could have said, "Many of us who came from Somalia came when Siad Barre's regime fell, not during the war, not during the genocide, when it fell, because we were in fr- we were afraid that we had ties to that genocidal regime, so we fled to America because if we had stayed in Somalia, there would have been retaliations from the people that we committed genocide upon." In other words, she could say, "I can't really criticize my adopted country as trashy or the worst in the world because it saved my life coming here because my family was involved in committing a genocide of the type that I accuse Israel of committing." What am I trying to say? I'm trying to say that this socialist Islamicist group has a whole list of complaints about this country that we're supposed to listen to, and a whole list of complaints about the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel, that we're supposed to listen to.

But many of these fiercest critics are dual citizens, and when they're in their other country, they say nothing about its sins, and there are, there are plenty from settler colonialism to genocide to apartheid to war crimes.

But they do blast the d- democracies for those very sins.

Do we ever hear her say, "I came from Somalia that was war-torn, ravaged, a complete failed state because a dictator for 10 years named Siad Barre had murdered 200,000 people of the Isaaq tribe who wanted to break away and get away from his dictatorship and form a enclave called Somaliland versus Somali."

But in Somalia, it was a different story.

A difficult and bloody civil war in Somalia led to the overthrow of the dictator Siad Barre in 1991.

Samia was born in the middle of a civil war.

And for her whole childhood and early adulthood, Somalia continued to see conflict.

And, of course, we talked about his participation in the Issaquah genocide that we spoke about just in that last report.

His family lived a relatively privileged Mogadishu life under dictator Siad Barre until the regime collapsed and civil war erupted in 1991, and then they fled.

Shortly before Saeed's death, a former Somali prime minister tweeted his respects and identified him as a colonel.

And the immigration lawyer the Post spoke with said that if her father misrepresented his role in Barre's government and Omar knowingly validated that lie, that could once again triple time happen.
