Stop it, bruh. The Battle of Mogadishu happened in
1993
America didn't take a formal presence anywhere near Somali until
2001 when AFRICOM relocate to Djibouti as PIRACY became a massive issue. QRF forces weren't enough. We needed a more established base of operations with access to the sea.
We don't need Somalia for proximity to the Arab Peninsula.
Right, so aid and help Somali because we want to be in Djibouti ... which is totally different country.
What you write makes as much damn sense as saying: The US gave aid to Iceland, because they wanted a base in Greenland
