Somalia• US forces sent in to help distribute food • By 1993, the mission had expanded to try
to put an end to the violence resulting in several deaths on both sides
• Initially, Somalis supported US presence, but this changed as more and more Somalis were killed
• Climax occurred in Oct. 1993 in a bloody battle in the capital of Mogadishu
![Page 11: Bill Clinton Foreign Policies](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816320550346895dd39969/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

into a ceasefire with hopes of an eventual peace accord

Rwanda Genocide
• How did it turn into a genocide?1. Couldn’t be a moderate Hutu; “kill or be
killed;” Interahamwe very well organized; claimed Tutsis would enslave Hutus
2. UN/US did not step in to stop it; UN soldiers were forbidden to shoot
3. Hutu-controlled radio

and end violence in Rwanda, but the conflict spills over into neighboring countries
• In total, 800,000 Rwandans were killed• Estimates range from 500,000 – 1 million• Millions of refugees fled into neighboring
countries• Many women, especially Tutsi women,
infected with HIV as a result of Hutu “rape squads.”

Aftermath• Clinton’s approval ratings actually go up after
the scandal• Why?• The economy was doing well• “Wag the Dog”–Clinton launches cruise missiles to take out
al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan–Media heavily criticizes him– Trying to deflect attention away from
Lewinsky scandal
