Is the world getting involved in this conflict? Should other countries get involved?

Before 1991 the UN was involved in keeping peace within the clans and multiple ethnic groups. The americans brought the marines in during 1991, but they had a lack of understanding of the Somalian culture and political issues, which caused the people to turn against them. They pulled out after the Blackhawk accident, and the UN funding was stopped. The US and other countries have also tried to send aid, such as President Bush ordering food and supplies by airlift and the UN Security Council approving the US "Operation Restore Hope" mission.

In 1991 the dictatorship that ran the country collapsed after Siad Barre fled the capital. In the chaos of the government collapsing, clans and sub clans claimed ownership to different regions. They have declared the independent states of Puntland in the northeast, Galmugdug in the center, Somaliand to the north, and Southwestern Somalia in the south. The UN and the US tried to make peace but plans fell through in 1944. in 2004-2006 Islamist militias took over much of Somalia, and other countries were drawn into the conflict such as Eritrea and Ethiopia. Based off the claim that the leaders were terrorists, the US came back into the equation in 2007 and launched air strikes. The militias did withdraw from most of the area in 2006, but have returned and regained control over most of the country. A large drought also affected the country along with the devastating effects of war, and the weak economy.
