Operation Eastern Exit, Embassy of the United States, Mogadishu
- ( Back to T:TDYK )
- ( Article history links: Operation Eastern Exit
- Embassy of the United States, Mogadishu )
- ... that diplomats of several nations' embassies, including the Soviet Union, sought refuge in the United States' embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia (pictured) and were among the 281 persons evacuated from the embassy by a US military airlift in 1991?
- Reviewed: Gardner Creek & Sant'Ambrogio della Massima
- Comment: Operation Eastern Exit is recently expanded (after a verbatim copyvio was removed). Embassy of the United States, Mogadishu was created by User:Cekli829 on 25 February as a stub (one brief sentence about the embassy, then three sentences about the newly nominated ambassador), which I've turned into a sizeable article. I think the evacuation of the Soviet Unions diplomats, first to the embassy (the US paid a Somali military officer to fetch them) and then airlifted to US Navy ships, during the Cold War (albeit close to the end) is a rather interesting fact to feature. Since "evacuated" is a vague term, I think it's important to note that it was by military airlift. I would appreciate feedback on how to make it most concise. Piped links are discouraged, but I think it's the best way to handle these articles. Note the hook length is 221 characters, but because this is a two-article nominee, supplementary rule C3 allows the second article's characters to be subtracted from the total and "United States' embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia" is 37 characters, so the length shouldn't be a problem.
