He was the chairman of the United Somali Congress (USC). Aidid later led the Somali National Alliance (SNA). He was a part of the groups that overthrew and exiled President Mohamed Siad Barre's socialist and communist government from Somalia during the Somali Civil War in the early 1990s.
In 1992, Aidid attacked United Nations troops. This caused him to be named the world’s first Wanted Man of the Unified Task Force. After UN peacekeepers withdrew in 1993, 19 American soldiers were killed by Aidid's forces. They also attacked peacekeepers, caused violence and committed crimes against humanity.
On 1 August 1996, Aidid suffered a heart attack after being wounded. He died at the age of 61.

893178 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social%20cleansing | Social cleansing | In certain societies there are groups of people, who think that certain people should not be part of that society. These people who are seen as "undesirable" are then either killed, or they are driven away. This is known as social cleansing. Examples of such groups seen as undesirable are homeless people, street children, criminals,the elderly, and people with disabilities. Very often, these ideas also touch sex workers, people who are homosexual, or who have a gender identity outside the clearly defined male, or clearly defined female spectrum. Wanting to do social cleansing is caused by a combination of economic and social factors, but killings are mostly present in regions with high levels of poverty or were there are very few very rich, and the rest of the poulation is poor. Perpetrators are usually of the same community as the victims. Very often, they think that the victims are a drain on the resources of society. Efforts by national and local governments to stop these killings have been largely ineffective. The government and police forces are often involved in the killings, especially in South America.
Examples
Colombia
According to the National Center of Historic Memory the city of Cali in Colombia is most affected by these massacres. Between 1998 and 2013, about 5.000 people have been killed in social cleansing operations; 77% of the cillings were done by special groups doing the cleansing, 18% were killed by paramilitary groups, and 5% were killed by unidentified groups.
A report by Vice News states that the police is often involved, and leads to the homeless seeking shelter in the most remote areas of the canalisation: "They come here all the time. they get you and take you to the police station. There they beat youu up, and they sprinkle you with a strong water jet. They tell you you are good for social cleansing, but they don't tell you when it will happen.
When the aggressors cannot reach them, they have another stategy: they put gasoline in the sewers, and put it on fire. "Six month ago, paramilitary forces came, and put a small girl on fire. They poured gasoline on her and lit her."
Guatemala
After the civil war in Guatemala, many soldiers formed criminal organizations. That way, they could avoid that a efficient transition government would be put in place, which would persecute people who had committed war crimes.. The process of transition towards a democratic government also threatened these groups, who then executed people who were politically active. A very notable example is the assasination of the bishop Juan José Gerardi Conedera. A commander of a military base ordered his assassination. Edgar Gutierrez, a political commentator, noted that these groups were motivated by a higer ambition. According zo Guiterrez, they wanted contorl of the state and the economy. Most of the information officers of the military dictatorship were infiltrated into orgaised crime, either part of the state, or close to it.
A report of the International commission against impunity in Guatemala, published in 2010, accuses the government of Óscar Berger (2004-2008?=), of having donee "social cleansing operations", and of having ordered extra-judicial killings. Philip Alston, of the United Nations, had already pointed out that goverment of Guatemala had taken part in social cleansing operations. Erwin Sperisen, director of national police, said that the use of legal and extra-legal force against "socially undesirable individuals" was a necessary means to be able to guarantee economic prosperity.
Since 2013, different associations point out that the level of social cleansing is increasing again: Most of the time, it is Maya officeholders, and Maya communities fighting for their land, and natural resources, which also interest big companies.In 2013, people defendimg human rights have been attacked 169 times, according to the Unit of protection of defenders of Guatemala.

893460 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camargue | Camargue | The Camargue a place in France near where the Rhone river flows into the Mediterranean Sea. Before it flows into the sea, the Rhone splits into two smaller rivers, forming a triangle. The Camague is the floodplain in that triangle between the two smaller rivers. This place is the Grande Camargue (Great Camargue). A smaller part just outside the triangle is named the Petite Camague (Little Camargue). The Carmargue is about long from east to west, and long from north to south. Part of it is a nature reserve.
The Camargue is important to the animals that live there. Almost 400 types of birds live in the Camargue. There are also black bulls and horses. Many birds stop in the Camargue to rest when they fly south for the winter or north for the summer. People have seen up to 30,000 flamingos there at the same time. For the past twenty years, people have seen common cranes there too. People have seen European pond turtles there. People have brought coypu to live there too. Like with any wetland, there are mosquitoes. In Camargue, 40 different species of mosquito were found.
Economy
Very few people actually live in the Camargue, its biggest City is Arles, just north of the triangle. Arles has about 60.000 people, and a long history. The economy in Camargue is based on three things:
Agriculture - Growing wine, cereals and rice; Raising livestock - there's a special kind of bovine from the Camargue; there are also feral horses in the Camargue
Tourism - like the rest of Provence and the French Mediterranean coast. In addition there's green tourism of people coming to visit the nature reserve
There is only very little industry and commerce - one of the things done is extracting salt from seawater, and processing it. This is mostly done in Salin-de-Giraud, and Aigues-Mortes

893495 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle%20of%20double%20effect | Principle of double effect | The principle of double effect or doctrine of double effect is an idea in philosophy. It says that it can be morally good to do something that has a bad effect so long as it also has a larger good effect. Here, "double effect" means "second effect" or "side effect." In plain English, the principle of double effect means, "It is acceptable for actions to have bad side effects so long as the good effect is much larger."
History
Historians think Thomas Aquinas was the first person to write about the principle of double effect but they are not sure. Thomas Aquinas lived in the 1200s. He wrote about killing in self-defense. Philosophers from before Thomas Aquinas, for example Augustine of Hippo, said it was never acceptable to kill another person, not even in self-defense. Thomas Aquinas said it was so long as the person did not kill their attacker on purpose and so long as the person does not fight harder than they need to. Here, the first effect is saving one's own life. The double effect (side effect) is killing the attacker. He wrote this in Summa Theologica.
Rules
In the principle of double effect, it is okay to foresee a bad effect but not to intend it. This means a person who knows their action will cause something bad might still be acting within the principle of double effect, but a person who wants the bad effect definitely is not.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia says that for an action to follow the principle of double effect:
The action itself must be neutral; it must not be good or bad.
The person must not want the bad thing to happen; if there is another action that would cause the good effect without the bad one, then the person must do that instead.
The good effect must happen before or at the same time as the bad effect. It must not happen after the bad effect. Then, it might have been caused by the bad effect.
The good effect must be bigger or more important than the bad effect, enough to be worth the bad effect.
Uses
The principle of double effect is part of Roman Catholic philosophy. Medical doctors can also use it when deciding how to treat patients, especially patients who are in pain and want to die.
Differences
The principle of double effect is not the same as "the ends justify the means." In the principle of double effect, the goal is to make something good happen, and something bad happens too. The good and bad thing both come from the same action. In the ends justify the means, the person does something bad to make a good thing happen. The good thing comes from the bad action.
Criticism
Some philosophers say that foreseeing a bad effect (knowing it will happen) and intending a bad effect (wanting and meaning it to happen) are not different enough for the principle of double effect to be real. Philosophers have used the trolley problem to study the principle of double effect.

In economics, this is known as economies of scale. Unfortunately, this is only true up to a certain point. When the company grows beyond that point, producing goods or services gets more expensive again. This effect is known as diseconomies of scale. There are many causes for this effect:
The communication costs are larger in bigger companies. It may also be more difficult to reach a given person.
In companies with more employees, it is probable that two people will be doing the same thing. This is known as duplication of effort.
Larger companies have longer response times.
Sometimes people are afraid to change procedures that worked in a smaller company, but that need adapting to a bigger company.
