UN chief in Somalia warned on need for more troops under U.S. command
Lt. Gen. Cevik Bir urged that future UN missions deploy more soldiers under full U.S. control and not withdraw after losses. He criticized the Somalia operation for failing to disarm militias and cited the 1993 helicopter shootdown and battlefield fatalities as reasons the mission risked leaving no lasting peace. Bir noted Western pullouts and urged the Security Council to set clear objectives and secure funding to ensure relief and rebuilding can continue.
