Serbs agree to U.N. supervision NATO announces it will send 6,000 troops to help guard relief for Bosnia THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — The leader of Bosnian Serbs agreed Wednesday to put his heavy weapons around Sarajevo under U.N. supervision, and NATO announced it would send 6,000 troops to help guard relief columns. Serb militiamen also ended a 3 1/2-month siege of Gorazde, according to soldiers loyal to the Muslim-dominated government. But a Bosnian military leader said: "The war here is not over." Despite the agreement by Serb leader Radovan Karadzic to allow U.N. monitoring of Serb artillery, mortar shells fell again on Sara jevo, and loyalist troops pressed on with their desperate attempt to break through Serb forces :le<‘ In Brussels, Belgium, the North American Treaty Organization secretary general, Man fred Woerner, said the 16-member alliance would send troops to help guard relief for Bosnia. NATO sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the force would number 6,000. The United Nations already has 1,600 troops in Bosnia, most in Sarjevo. The developments came a day before a new round of peace talks sponsored by the United Nations and the European Community in Geneva. Apart from ending the war, a major aim of the talks is to ensure aid gets to the esti mated 2 million people from Bosnia who are at risk from cold or lack of food this winter. the city's estimated 450,000 residents. Planes have flown in 12,000 tonsofft medicine and other supplies, but U.N.ol said the onset of winter could slow theopi tion and that an extensive trucking link needed.

Italian woman offers hope to poverty-stricken Somalians THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MERCA, Somalia — In a crumbling old bank building, she heals the sick by the hun dreds. Under the thatched awning out back, she runs a school. Inside a stone-walled courtyard, she feeds 2,500 kids who otherwise would starve. Annalena Tonelli is the Mother Teresa of Somalia, a steely-eyed Italian woman who pulls off small miracles each day in a place where hope seems lost, faith is running low and charity is spread too thin. "You don't need to talk to me," said Annalena, holding a frail child with glazed eyes and a runny nose. "Just look at the reality. It speaks for itself." Her tuberculosis clinic, the centerpiece of her charity work, is about as close as one gets to a success story in Somalia, where some 2 million people face star vation as a result of war and drought. Tens if not hundreds of thousands have already died. Some 400 patients, many of them children, are recovering at the makeshift clinic in Merca, a whitewashed seaside town of crashing waves and red sand dunes that was a charming hol iday resort before Somalia im ploded. On the back porch of the two-story stucco building is her school for the children with TB. Nearby, mothers sit in the sand and weave baskets for sale at the market, another project set up by Annalena. Next to them, the blind and the crippled re ceive a lunch of beans and rice. German paper stirs conflic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — The headline in Germany's most widely read newspaper caught plenty of peo ple off guard: "Refugee Shelter Seeks German Cleaning Lady." Though the home's directors say the Bild headline was exag gerated, Wednesday's report re flected a widespread feeling that a wave of asylum-seekers has turned German life upside down. With unemployment and right ist violence growing in the east, Germans are taking a closer look at hundreds of thousands of refugees living on the public dole. No one is talking about tossing innocent civilians back into war zones, but there's a growing con sensus that Germany does not need to shelter Africans, Eastern Europeans and Asians from poverty. Even the opposition. Social De mocrats, long the firm champions of Germany's liberal asylum laws, say it's time for a change — and for cuts in the refugees' handoi "They can no longer same federal welfare benefit Germans," said Hermann Hei mann, the head of social servi in North Rhine-Westphalia st and a Social Democrat. Recent riots in Rostocka elsewhere have plunged Germ into the most profound searching and political bicker since the country was reuaii nearly two years ago. Critics say Chancellor Heir Kohl must pay more attentioi the struggling east, where anti-refugee violence has been worst. As neo-Nazis took to streets with Hitler salutes, rais worries about Germany'sima abroad, particularly withia European Community. 'The effects abroad are course," said Foreign Minis Klaus Kinkel.
