Somali Civil War
The
Somali Civil War
is an ongoing
civil war
taking place in
Somalia
. It grew out of resistance to the
Siad Barre
regime during the 1980s. By 1988–90, the
Somali Armed Forces
began engaging various armed rebel groups, including the
Somali Salvation Democratic Front
in the northeast, the
Somali National Movement
in the northwest, and the
United Somali Congress
in the south. The clan-based armed opposition groups eventually managed to overthrow the Barre government in 1991.
