Scenarios about 'Mohamed Farrah Aidid'
Mohamed Farrah Aidid was a Somali military commander and political leader who rose to prominence during the Somali Civil War in the early 1990s. As chairman of the United Somali Congress, he became the primary target of the United Nations Operation in Somalia II, most notably during the Battle of Mogadishu (1993) depicted in "Black Hawk Down." Aidid's resistance to international intervention and his role in Somalia's failed state status make him a pivotal figure in examining alternate scenarios for Horn of Africa stability and post-Cold War peacekeeping operations.
