Did you see what they did in the Ivory Coast??
Oh, indeed I did. That was a French/UN operation since the President of Cote D'ivoire was making them look like fools and holding up their financial and social engineering interests.
Somalia is a weird stalemate where the government, entirely paid the U.N., has sat in the 12 blocks they control for a decade behind mercenaries and passed laws and resolutions they can not enforce. Now something has prompted them, perhaps the new President who was a U.S. resident, to go on the offensive, and they have talked the countries that supply the troops to support them. I believe they have also started paying the Somali troops regularly, something that they were not very good at before.
