English: Famine in Somalia (1992-1993)

In the early 1990s, Somali rebels waged an armed struggle against dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. Each battle was accompanied by massive devastation, the country was rolling into the abyss. The Barre regime was overthrown, but the troubles of Somalia did not end there. After all, now two groups of rebels have begun to fight among themselves.

The entire infrastructure of the country was destroyed - people were forced to live on the streets, suffering from hunger. At that time, the humanitarian support of the country by the United States and Western Europe had stopped, so help was no longer expected. In addition, Somalia has suffered a severe drought. The civil strife stopped with the arrival of UN peacekeepers in the country. Unfortunately, the reaction was not very timely.

About 300 thousand people died of hunger in the country.
