NomadNet:Siyaad Barre Obituary (2248 words)
As is still the custom, he was given a nickname by his fellow herdboys, ''Afweyne'' or ''Mighty Mouth'', which stuck with him for the rest of his life, despite subsequent efforts by sycophantic presidential aides to create alternatives, such as ''Father of Wisdom''.
