Twenty years have passed since a contingent of 1,800 U.S. Marines and nearly 200 French troops participated in Operation Restore Hope in an effort to restore order to Somalia. In this file photo, a Somali boy runs towards a relief convoy as it arrives in a village 15 miles northwest of Baidoa as a French legionnaire in firing position ensures the safe arrival of the food.
