"Operation Restore Hope" was a humanitarian mission launched by the United States in December 1992 in response to a severe famine in Somalia. The operation aimed to provide food and medical assistance to the Somali people, who were suffering due to civil war and drought. The mission was part of a broader effort by the United Nations to stabilize the region and ensure the safe delivery of aid. The operation involved deploying thousands of U.S. troops to Somalia to secure aid routes and protect relief workers. Despite initial successes in delivering food and supplies, the mission faced challenges, including violent clashes with local factions. Ultimately, the operation highlighted the complexities of humanitarian intervention in conflict zones.
