Standing in the way was Aidid, who refused to cooperate with the UN. It was part of the broader Somali Civil War, which had intensified since 1991 and threatened famine the UN had become engaged to provide food aid, but eventually shifted their mission to establish democracy and restore a secure government. It was fought on 3–4 October 1993, in Mogadishu, Somalia, between forces of the United States-supported by UNOSOM II-and Somali militiamen loyal to Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The Battle of Mogadishu ( Somali: Maalintii Rangers, lit.'"Day of the Rangers"'), also known as the Black Hawk Down incident, was part of Operation Gothic Serpent. 315 killed and 812 wounded (including civilians) (Per Mohamed Farrah Aidid).
