Timeline of How Refugees

from Somalia Have

Changed
Focusing on: health + population (anything to do
with refugees of Somali).

The government collapse - 1991

In 1991 the Somali government collapses, leading to the start of a very violent civil war, many people decided that their safety was put
in danger and they should leave, thus over 492,046 refugees were displaced. But thats only the beginning

Soldiers get
ready for
battle.

Refugees die of disease - 1992

Approximately 350,000 refugees died in 1992 because of disease. Thus about

only about 142,046 survived. Showing us that if we dont care for only a couple of
years, disaster strikesback

Two U.S. helicopters shot down - 1993

1993 was a very violent year. Rebels in Somalia shot down two U.S. helicopters.
Thus, 18 U.S. Army Rangers and one Malaysian man was killed. Also, a battle
ensued and hundreds of Somali civilians are killed. This scares refugees into
hiding and not showing their faces.

The U.S. ends the mission to Somalia - 1994

Costing them $1.7 billion, the U.S. ended this
mission which has also cost 43 lives of soldiers
in the U.S. and 153 wounded. Leaving the
refugees still in Somalia with one country less
protection.

Change of leaders - 1996

Citizens of Somalia have suffered under the reign of Mohamed Farah Aideed and
from fighting among warlords. Then, Hussein Farah Aideed takes over after his
fathers assassination.

Cholera outbreak - 2000

Hundreds of not only refugees in Somalia died due to an outbreak of Cholera, a

microscopic bacteria that spreads in water. So, this is all because the water they
drank didnt have the correct filtering.

U.N. declares end - 2001

The United Nations will no longer aid Somalia in health due to safety issues. This
means that all those people will suddenly have less doctors and nurses.

Tsunami - 2004
300 are killed and hundreds displaced as a tsunami waves from a nearby
earthquake hit Somalias coast.

Starting to get back to normal - 2005

The government finally starts to take back its position but there is still a bitter
division. A huge relief for locals
