where did the black hawk crash in mogadishu
Battle of Mogadishu (1993)
In September 1991 , severe fighting broke out in Mogadishu , which continued in the following months and spread throughout the country , with over 20,000 people killed or injured by the end of the year . These wars led to the destruction of Somalia 's agriculture , which in turn led to starvation in large parts of the country . The international community began to send food supplies to halt the starvation , but vast amounts of food were hijacked and brought to local clan leaders , who routinely exchanged it with other countries for weapons . An estimated 80 percent of the food was stolen . These factors led to even more starvation , from which an estimated 300,000 people died and another 1.5 million people suffered between 1991 and 1992 . In July 1992 , after a ceasefire between the opposing clan factions , the U.N. sent 50 military observers to watch the food 's distribution . US
