In 1992, the Unified Task Force (which was a US-led force), initiated on helping and carrying out a mission called Operation Restore Hope in Somalia until May of the year 1993. The US troops visited the Somali people because they were suffering from a humanitarian disaster with regards to the Resolution 794 together with the United Nations.
