Abdi House Raid
The Abdi House raid or Operation Michigan, better known to Somalis as Bloody Monday ( Somali: Isniinta Dhiigii), was a United Nations military operation that took place in Mogadishu on 12 July, 1993, during the UNOSOM II phase of the UN intervention in the Somali Civil War. The raid, carried out by American QRF troops on behalf of UNOSOM II, was at the time the single deadliest incident in Mogadishu since the start of the war and marked a decisive turning point in the UN operation, as it inflamed anti-UN and anti-American sentiments among Somalis, which contributed immensely to the scale of resistance that the US military faced during the Battle of Mogadishu three months later. As part of the campaign to capture General Mohammed Farah Aidid following the 5 June, 1993, attack on the Pakistani peacekeepers, US forces conducted a 17 minute raid on a villa belonging to Aidid's Interior Minister Abdi ''"Qeybdiid"'' Awale during a major gathering.

Islamic Courts Union
The Islamic Courts Union ( so, Midowga Maxkamadaha Islaamiga) was a legal and political organization formed to address the lawlessness that had been gripping Somalia since the fall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991 during the Somali Civil War. The Islamic Courts Union was embraced by a plurality of Somalis, as Islam was viewed as one of the last credible institutions left in the wake of the collapse of the state. The courts were able to quickly gain the trust of war weary Somalis, as they had emerged at a grassroots level and claimed to rule under the neutrality of Islam, which was viewed as an attractive alternative to the country rife with heightened clan tensions. The union was a diffuse organization, with rivaling leaders sending conflicting messages about the group's goals. Some members had national political ambitions, while others wanted to focus on resolving local disputes and bringing people closer to Islam. In the summer of 2006, the ICU would expel an alliance of Som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Transitional National Government
The Transitional National Government (TNG) was the internationally recognized central government of Somalia from 2000 to 2004.

According to Le Sage, the TNG in 2002 had all of the organs of a national government, including executive and judicial structures as well as a parliament, a police force and standing army.
