Somalia Civil War

There is no national government in Somalia. While parts of the north have been relatively peaceful, including much of the self-declared "Republic of Somaliland,"interclan and interfactional fighting have flared up with little warning, and kidnapping, murder and other threats to foreigners occur unpredictably in many regions. Since 1991, an estimated 350,000 to 1,000,000 Somalis had died because of the conflict..The Somali Republic gained independence on 1 July 1960. Somalia was formed by the union of British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland, while French Somaliland became Djibouti A socialist state was established following a coup led by Major General Muhammad Siad Barre.Rebel forces ousted the Barre regime in 1991,but turmoil, factional fighting, and anarchy ensued. The Somali National Movement (SNM) gained control of the north, while in the capital of Mogadishu and most of southern Somalia, the United Somali Congress achieved control. Somalia had been without a stable central government since dictator Mohamed Siad Barre fled the country in 1991
