Attempts at reconciliation in Somalia (1991–2004)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many factions opposed to Siad Barre set aside tribal and political differences to unite in purpose to overthrow his regime.[citation needed] After the collapse of Siad Barre's government in 1991 the nation fell into a long period of increasingly chaotic conflict between forces of clans, militias, warlords, separatist, religious functions and rebellion movements, other nations, and even the United Nations peacekeepers.
