The Somali Democratic Republic (Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Dimuqraadiga Soomaaliyeed; Arabic: الجمهورية الديمقراطية الصومالية (al-Jumhūriyyah ad-Dīmuqrāṭiyyah aṣ-Ṣūmāliyyah), Italian: Democratica Somala) was a socialist state in Somalia that existed from 1969 to 1991.
Established in October 1969, the Somali Democratic Republic emerged following a coup d'état led by Major General Mohamed Siyaad Barre and the Somali military.[4][5][6][7] The coup took place six days after the assassination of Abdirashid Shermarke, the second President of the Somali Republic.[6] Barre's administration governed Somalia for the next 21 years until the rise of Ethiopian-backed Somali rebel groups, which ultimately led to the government's collapse and the onset of civil war in 1991.[8]
