The US has directly and indirectly intervened military in the nation of Somalia since 1992 through 1994, and from 2006 until present day. The US also forced Ethiopia to intervene in Somalia, causing millions of deaths. Besides having imperialism ideas to govern Somalia, there can also be seen imperialism from the US in Ethiopia because the US respalds its government and they force them to do things. The Ethiopian's army's goal in Somalia was to stop the ICU (Islamic Courts Union) from getting into power. The ICU is an independent alliance of commmunity organizations whose goal was to reconstruct Somalia based on people's interests intead of imperialist forces. This movement brought to Somalia a sense of social stability although it hasn't been internationally recognized since 1991. The US wanted to stop this movement so that they can get under control of Somalia. The US is being really selfish by not wanting Somalia to be stable and happy. These was revealed by wikileaks, but the US denies it.
