Aidid says U.S. troops threaten peace in Somalia
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Gen Mohamed Farrah Aidid warned U.S. troops not to return to the streets of Mogadishu, saying yesterday that their presence could violate a four-week-old cease-fire with foreign troops.
The Associated Press
"There is no need to deploy U.S. troops on the streets of Mogadishu. That may be provocative," Aidid said. "I cannot see any reason for the massive deployment. Mogadishu is calm."
"Painful memories of U.S. massacres are still fresh in the Somali people."
"The U.S. government will bear the full responsibility" for any trouble that may break out, he said.
U. S. reinforcements — Army troops on the ground, Marines still at sea — poured into Somalia after an Oct. 3 firefight killed 18 American soldiers. Their main mission is to protect U.S. and foreign troops, but officials said they also would keep roads open and put pressure on bandits.
Aidid told the United Nations to get out of Somalia, saying the humanitarian
"There are no negotiations, and I don't expect any in the future," said the man who controls south Mogadishu.
He dashed the U.N.'s hopes that a newly formed Mogadishu Security Advisory Committee could be a forum for improving the dangerous streets and setting up more substantive talks on the country's future. He said his faction, which attended the second meeting last week, would not show up any more.
In holding a news conference for about 15 foreign news organizations and local media, Aidid was making his most public appearance since late May.
Officials of his faction led a convoy of journalists on a winding trip through the city's dusty back streets, stopping once to make sure they were not being followed.
The destination was a compound where anyone entering was frisked.
Sixteen detainees were freed overnight Saturday. One appeared at Aidid's news conference, claiming he was beaten while under interrogation and hit in the head with a rifle butt. Other than marks on his wrists from plastic handcuffs, he showed no sign of injuries.
He urged the U.N. to release 43 remaining Somali detainees, including three of his top aides, who were captured Oct. 3.
hour late, he once again was dressed as the politician he wants to be, in a freshly pressed white shirt and dark paisley tie.
When Aidid finally arrived, about an

Aidid alleged that the detainees were getting sick and staging a five-day fast to protest their treatment, including alleged lack of access to doctors. U.N. officials were not immediately available for comment but have said the detainees have been treated well.
Aidid denied speculation that if the multinational contingent pulls out, the country will fall back into the civil war and anarchy that killed an estimated 350,000 people last year from conflict, starvation and disease.
Jordan set for legislature elections
Peace supporters expected to win
The Associated Press
AMMAN, Jordan — Candidates made last-minute appeals yesterday for votes in Jordan's first multiparty elections since 1956, in which proponents of peace with Israel were expected to retain a majority in parliament.
Today's elections come after Israeli officials confirmed over the weekend that Jordan and Israel are close to reaching a peace agreement. King Hussein has not yet made any public comment.
While Muslim fundamentalists are expected to win the single largest bloc in the 80-seat lower house of par-
liamment, conservative and tribal members who support Hussein's propeace policy are expected to keep a majority of seats.
The bicameral legislature must ratify any peace agreement, although Hussein retains ultimate authority with the power to dissolve parliament and rule by decree. The 40-seat upper house is appointed by Hussein and normally backs him.
Jordan and Israel signed an agenda for peace talks Sept. 14, a day after Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization reached a peace accord that provides for Palestinian self-rule in the occupied territories.
But while peace has played a role in campaigns, Jordanians appear more concerned with poverty and unemployment. The country is straining under a $4.5 billion foreign debt and
$4 billion in losses stemming from 1990-91 Persian Gulf crisis, when trade with Iraq, Jordan's biggest trading partner, was blocked.
For the most part, the campaign ended peacefully. Police briefly detained a Muslim fundamentalist candidate after he and supporters roughed up two members of a moderate Islamic party, the state-run Petra news agency said.
Candidates held rallies, passed out fliers and pounded the pavement to win support in this nation of 3.9 million people. They placed hundreds of advertisements in the mass circulation Al-Rai daily promising a better future.
Thousands of banners remained draped over streets, and tens of thousands of posters have been plastered on lampposts and shop windows.
