Clinton weighs political path in Somalia with Aidid role
President Clinton signaled willingness to let warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid play a political part in Somalia. Officials described a possible offer to halt efforts to arrest Aidid in exchange for him calling off attacks on U S troops as U S forces intensified a political rather than military push. Varying reports from Addis Ababa and Washington noted negotiations led by Robert Oakley with intermediaries Ethiopia and discussions involving Secretary of State Christopher and National Security Adviser Lake. 31 U S servicemen have died in Somalia with five thousand three hundred more U S troops dispatched amid renewed fighting and a recent clash that killed two more.
