UN mission in Somalia faces challenge from warlord drive
The UN operation in Somalia struggles as a search and destroy mission against warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid shifts priorities, disrupting relief work. Aid agencies fear street violence, with warehouses full of food, while Italy debates troop withdrawal and calls grow for U.S. and German pullouts. Kofi Annan defends disarmament goals amid civilian casualties and military operations. The force totals about 20,000 troops, including 2,700 U.S. personnel, with U.S.-led gunship strikes following Aidid blame for June ambushes.
