    Extractions: Somalia's modern history began in the late 19th century when various European powers began to trade and establish themselves in the area. In the colonial patrician of Africa, Somali peoples were divided: the French occupied what is now Djibouti, the British occupied what is now northern Somalia (British Somaliland), Italy took the east and south, and other territories where Somali-speakers lived became part of Kenya and Ethiopia. In 1969, the military seized power under Maj.-Gen. Muhammad Siad Barre. Under Siad, Somalia began building up its military. Since its rival Ethiopia was a close ally of the United States, Somalia turned to the Soviet Union for aid, and in 1975 permitted the USSR to build a major base at Berbera on the Gulf of Aden. But as Ethiopia turned Marxist after the deposition of Haile Selassie in 1974, Somalia found Moscow increasing its aid to Addis Ababa. Somalia expelled its Soviet advisors, and in 1977, launched open attacks in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia, claimed by Somalia. With massive Soviet and Cuban aid, Ethiopia repulsed the Somali offensive. Somalia leaders claimed that U.S. promises of aid had not been kept. Meanwhile, Somalia continued to actively support the Western Somali Liberation Front inside the Ogaden, while insisting all its regular forces had withdrawn. After the Ogaden War of 1977-78, and its cutoff of aid from the USSR, Somalia turned to the west. It was admitted to the Arab League and Saudi Arabia and other conservative states began providing aid to counter Soviet influence in Ethiopia. Egypt and Iran also provided aid, with many weapons procured from Spain. Some U.S.-built anti-aircraft weapons were transferred, apparently by Saudi Arabia.

    Extractions: HISTORY OF MEMBERSHIP The continent's position as a crossroads between the Americas, Europe and Asia also lays it open to transnational crimes such as traffic in weapons, illicit drug trafficking, illegal immigration, traffic in stolen motor vehicles and fraud, etc., which can only be stopped by international co-operation. Seeking and locating the criminals involved poses problems relating to information exchange, international identification and arrests with a view to extradition. This is why Interpol (in accordance with Article 2 (1) of its Constitution) ensures the closest possible co-operation between the "criminal police authorities" of all member countries, including those in Africa. Crime is not associated with a particular region and is certainly not a problem for Africa alone. Ever since it was established, the International Criminal Police Organization - Interpol has been seen by countries all over the world as an institution whose principles and objectives correspond to universal aspirations for human rights, public safety and the fight against ordinary law crime. Joining Interpol was therefore one of the first steps taken by various African leaders once their countries obtained independence.

By then, most U.S. forces had redeployed from Somalia, but a residual American presence remained to support the United Nations command. This presence consisted of some members of the UNOSOM II staff, a logistics support command of about 2,800 personnel, and a quick reaction force of about 1,200 troops. As a result of this attack, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 837 authorizing UNOSOM II to "take all necessary measures against all those responsible for the armed attack of 5 June 1993." Some of these measures included quick reaction force and AC-130 gunship operations against weapons storage facilities and command and control facilities, as well as efforts to capture Gen. Aideed and other leaders of his Somali National Alliance. During these UNOSOM II operations, U.S. forces suffered a number of casualties, including four military police killed by a command-detonated mine on August 8. On August 22, Secretary of Defense Les Aspin directed the deployment of Task Force Ranger to Somalia to enforce the United Nations resolution. USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and an escort had arrived on station near Mogadishu. Additional forces included the

In the following month the two countries agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations, to withdraw troops from their common border and to exchange prisoners of war.
