"Perhaps the Italians, the former colonial masters of Somalia, caused the biggest headaches.  'The Italians paid off clan elders to not bother their troops, and even fed them information about U.N. operations,' writes U.S. Army Captain Lee A. Rysewyk, who was part of Task Force Ranger in Mogadishu in October 1993.  'The Italians guarding a checkpoint merely watched as six Nigerian peacekeepers got ambushed and killed not more than one hundred meters away,' Captain Rysewyk notes.  A Kuwaiti commander later approached Rysewyk to ask if he knew the details of the Italian side deal.  None of this inspired trust within the U.N. contingent, which had to work as one if it was going to succeed."
