Operation Restore Hope was partially successful, in that some of the starving & needy received food and medical supplies. The effort was un-successful when insurgents attacked the US/UN forces, and for the Americans, about 42 US servicemembers were killed, along with at least one helicopter destroyed (see film: Blackhawk Down). President Clinton terminated the operation during the first month or two of 1993.

The United Nations became involved in Somalia in the early 1990s due to a humanitarian crisis resulting from civil war, famine, and widespread violence. In 1992, the UN initiated Operation Restore Hope, a humanitarian mission aimed at delivering aid and stabilizing the region. However, the situation escalated, leading to a more complex military engagement, culminating in the infamous Battle of Mogadishu in 1993. Ultimately, the UN's efforts faced significant challenges, and the mission was scaled back, leaving Somalia in a prolonged state of instability.
Italy officially lost control of Somalia in 1947 but it was administered by Italy as a UN territory until 1960
Without the intervention of UN forces, the Korean War may have had a different outcome.

Somalia's flag was adopted in 1954 and designed by Somali scholar Mohammad Awale Liban. The 5-pointed Star of Unityrepresent the Somali ethnic group. The blue background was originally inspired by the UN flag, in recognition of the UN's help during Somalia's transition to independence. Blue also represents the sky and the Indian Ocean.
