American and Italian troops finally left the beaches of Mogadishu
on Friday (3/3), bringing to an end the costly peacekeeping
mission. The Marines on the beach had sporadic but intense fire-fights with Somalis positioned at the airport.
Operation United Shield was proclaimed a success, however Somalis are left with no legitimate government and the continued prospect of civil war.
