UN okays US-led force for Somalia
UNITED NATIONS. Dec 4: The UN Security Council unanimously approved a massive US-led military Intervention Thursday to protect relief shipments to famine-stricken Somalia, reports AFP.
The resolution authorized the use of "all necessary means to establish as soon as possible a secure environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia.' Invoking Chapter Seven of the UN Charter, which authorizes the use of force.
Reuter from Washington says President Bush today ordered more than 25.000 US troops to Somalia.
In a national television address. Bush said the major US participation tn a UN military operation was necessary because "armed gangs In Somalia
were intercepting food shipments from relief organisations and preventing it from reaching the starving.
Bush, making what will likely be his last major decision of international importance, did not say how many American troops would be sent to the east African country but members of congress who met him before the speech said it would be in excess of 25,000.
The United States Is sending an aircraft carrier and two other warships to Somalia in a show of force to support UN military protection of food aid to that starving country, senior Defence officials in Washington said today.
The officials, Who asked not to be identified, said the carrier Ranger, missile cruiser Valley Forge and destroyer
Kincaid were being sent from the Oulf and would arrive off Somalia In the Indian Ocean within days.
The resolution marked a dramatic shift from the United Nations' traditional policy of Intervening In a country only at the request of Its government. Amid feuding between rival warlords, Somalia essentially has no central government, says AFP.
The voting was delayed for two hours as the American delegation watted for final instructions from Washington and obtained a last-minute amendment reflecting the of fer of "a member state' — the United States — to lead the multinational Intervention.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater issued a statement after the vote say-
ing "We are pleased by the UN vote to authorize military forces to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to alleviate the starvation and human suffering tn Somalia *
The United States is not mentioned explicitly in the resolution, which grants Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali and the council a degree of control over the operation.
The UN chief is to report regularly to the council, which will make the ultimate decision on when the troops will withdraw and yield to UN peacekeeping forces already in Somalia.
China, which usually opposes operations that interfere with a member nation's domestic affairs, voted in favor of the resolution. Ambassador LI
Dayou said Somalia was an 'exceptional" case.
In Washington, a Pentagon official satd before the vote that nearly 28.000 US troops were poised to be sent to Somalia once the United Nations gave the green light
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said 1,800 marines from a task force currently off the East African coast would be the first to land in Somalia. A further 16.000 marines and 10,000 soldiers will follow, the official added.
Troops from Canada, France, Italy and several African states are also on standby to join the operation
