Before now, I had never looked up why the state of Somalia fell in 1991.
No wonder this administration is freaked out: history rhymes.
The collapse of Somalia's state in 1991 resulted from multiple interconnected factors: Authoritarian Rule and Oppression President Mohamed Siad Barre's authoritarian regime (1969–1991) suppressed political dissent and favored certain clans, leading to widespread discontent. Barre deliberately played different clans off against each other to divert attention from the country's economic problems, and his increasingly divisive and oppressive regime sparked the internal revolts that led to his overthrow.
