The "Green Dogs" militia propped up the regime of this ruler, who unsuccessfully attempted to stamp out his nickname "Mighty Mouth" from his days as a goatherd. Under this dictator, a new alphabet based on the Roman alphabet without the letters p, v, and z was created. This dictator launched a revanchist invasion of his country's western neighbor with Soviet backing, only for the Soviets to immediately switch sides and supply his enemy with 15,000 Cuban mercenaries. Nation-building e猼forts launched by this dictator included the attempted abolition of the qabil clan system. This "Scienti炬c Socialism" proponent negotiated with Helmut Schmidt to let German special forces retrieve a PFLP-hijacked Lu畔thansa plane. Over a million refugees 畔led into his country a畔ter his disastrous invasion of the Ogaden region. A畔ter his power was sapped by rebels like Mohamed Farah Aidid, he was derisively nicknamed the "Mayor of Mogadishu." For 10 points, name this dictator under whom Somalia devolved into a failed state.
