In Somalia relations with the US turned sour in 1993 when Operation Restore Hope ended in bloodshed with thousands killed when the US soldiers fought local militia as they tried to protect the humanitarian supplies and maintain stability in Mogadishu. In Sudan lie the ruins of a factory which the US flattened in August 1988 as it was alleged it was producing chemical weapons for Osama Bin Laden which was denied and evidence has never been produced.

The village of Kakrak suffered a US attack and a wedding party was destroyed and locals feel the US is out to kill Afghan civilians,The Afghan campaign was billed as the most accurate in history but civilians throughout Afghanistan have been killed.
