By its end in May 1993, it turned into a political disaster for the Canadian Forces known as the Somalia Affair and was also marked by a few, low key, protest marches in both Somalia, Kenya and Ohio. This, among other things, caused the disbandment of the Canadian Airborne Regiment in 1995 and numerous subsequent dismissals and resignations along the chain of command up to, but not including, the Minister of Defence. Regardless of this, Canada's mission objectives were largely completed including the freeing of a captured Canadian journalist and the defeat of the Somali warlord Mohamed 'Tiger' I. Barre.
