U.N. to oversee troops
U.S. may share responsibilities in Somali relief
"The United States is likely to be commanding the operation," Sir David Hannay, Britain's ambassador, said. The Bush administration has offered to send up to 30,000 troops to Somalia to get food to more than 1 million Somalis threatened with starvation.
The Associated Press
But a U.S. draft resolution for the Security Council leaves the door open for a U.S. general to command a proposed U.S. force in the famine-wracked nation of Somalia. Diplomats also said daily operations would probably be left to field commanders.
UNITED NATIONS — U.S. military commanders will have to give up the free rein heyed in the Persian Gulf War and accept some U.N. oversight of troops in Somalia, diplomats said yesterday.
An international relief operation has been hindered by feeding Somali warlords and bandits in the lawless East African nation. The State Department says 1,000 people in Somalia are dying every day of starvation and disease. The death toll already exceeds 300,000.
The draft resolution is part of a compromise Washington is forging to win
The compromise was one of the issues to be discussed in a closed-door Security Council meeting yesterday.
The Pentagon had sought complete control over its forces, including the right to decide when to withdraw. But U.S. diplomats realized it might be opposed by some Security Council members and indicated they would accept some degree of U.N. oversight.
Representatives from the United States met earlier in the day with representatives from the other five permanent council members: China, Russia, Britain and France.
The 15-nation Security Council was expected to adopt a resolution today or tomorrow authorizing a U.S.-led multinational force to safeguard emergency food and medical shipments.
The United States was already moving quickly to prepare for the operation.
According to an early U.S. draft of the resolution, member states could use troops in Somalia after consultations with the secretary-general for the command and control of their forces. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the draft, which the Security Council could change before a final vote is taken.
An amphibious unit of 1,800 Marines was expected to arrive off the coast of
Somalia early today. Their task will be to secure the international airport at Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, so troops and equipment can arrive.
A U.S. source estimated that up to 20,000 troops could be in place by the end of the month.
Other countries are also considering contributing troops. Among African nations, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Kenya are thinking about making offers, an African diplomatic source said.
President Bush may want them out of Somalia by inauguration day, Jan. 20, but the draft resolution does not set a specific time. It asks U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to recommend when a secure environment for humanitarian relief operations has been established. At that point, U.N. peacekeepers would take over. A final decision on a pullout will be made by the Security Council.
"I don't think anyone wants to make it one day longer than is absolutely necessary, but I think it's a bit of a hostage to fortune if you try to actually write a time limit down now" for the troops' withdrawal, Hannay said.
In Paris, French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas said that France would prefer the United Nations to command a force in Somalia.
In the Persian Gulf War, in which a U.S.-led multinational force under U.N. authority drove Iraqi forces from Kuwait last year, U.S. commanders did not receive orders from the Security Council.
