Well you had a Junta get in power that decided they were more concerned with uniting "Greater Somalia" than they were with bettering the country.

They weren't doing unusually bad until they invaded Ethiopia in 1977. The Soviets dropped them, turned around and backed up Ethiopia, and thoroughly slapped their shit. From that point on, the regime was severely weakened, and, although they had got some token support from the US, they never enjoyed the kind of support they had under Soviet influence.

This all got compounded by the same drought that fucked Ethiopia and the collapsing economy that followed the Soviet withdrawal. The Barre regime fell in the early '90s, and they've been struggling to get a functioning government ever since.
