  • As a democratic republic

  • As a socialist federation

  • As a monarchist state

Answer

Somalia was reconstituted as a one-party Marxist-Leninist communist state under Siad Barre's rule. This meant that the country was ruled by a single party, the Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party (SRSP), which was based on the ideology of Marxism-Leninism. The SRSP was led by Siad Barre, who was the President of Somalia from 1969 to 1991. During his rule, Somalia was a one-party state, and all other political parties were banned.
