About

_Somalia's difficulties began shortly after Northern Somalia achieved independence from the United Kingdom and Southern Somalia from Italy in July 1960.' The unification of the North and South was followed by internal power struggles, war with Ethiopia, and years of sporadic civil war that produced images of anarchy and famine that were broadcast around the world from Somalia. "By April 1992, the United Nations estimated that 4.5 million Somalis--nearly 65 percent of the country's population--required external assistance."? Of those, an estimated 1.5 million were considered to be imminently at risk of starvation.
