What were the consequences of the US-led coalition's intervention in the Somalia Civil War?

The US-led coalition intervention in Somalia Civil War took place in the early 1990s. The objective of the intervention was to provide humanitarian aid and restore order to the war-torn country. The consequences of the intervention were significant and far-reaching.

One of the major consequences of the intervention was the loss of lives on both sides of the conflict. The US suffered casualties, with 18 American soldiers losing their lives during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993. Thousands of Somalis also lost their lives during the conflict.

The intervention also led to a power vacuum in Somalia, with no clear political or military authority in control of the country. This created a breeding ground for warlords, who seized control of various parts of the country, leading to further violence and instability.

Another consequence of the intervention was the negative impact it had on the international community's perception of US foreign policy. Many criticized the intervention as an example of American imperialism and criticized the US for its handling of the conflict.

Finally, the intervention failed to achieve its stated objective of restoring order and stability to Somalia. Instead, it led to a prolonged conflict that continued for many years, resulting in further loss of life and displacement of the Somali people.
