UN service in Somalia

From December 1992 until March 1994 I was working as a UN soldier in Mogadishu, Somalia. The United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM) was established to end war and starvation, and counted about 30,000 soldiers from all over the world.

Mogadishu

When I was working as a driver at the Military Intelligence Office, I got a chance to see most parts of the city.

The NORCOY (UNOSOM) camp

The Norwegian mission numbered 74 soldiers to start with, and was doubled after 6 months.

The countryside

I also had the chance to see more of Somalia than just Mogadishu.
