Standoff in Somalia-
Aidid 'uncooperative,' violates truce
The Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia - The
Somali security chief for the
CARE aid agency was killed Mon
day when U.N. peacekeepers fired
on gunmen who attacked them in
territory controlled by Mohamed
Farrah Aidid.
The attack was the fourth on
foreign troops in as many days
and suggested that Aidid's
month-long truce with U.N. forces
seemed to be crumbling.
A spokesman for the U.S. force
in Somalia criticized Aidid as be
ing ''uncooperative” and said the
United States was sticking by
plans to put American forces back
on Mogadishu's streets.
Aidid, whose followers control
southern Mogadishu, had been
clashing with the United Nations
since June, when the United Nations
blamed him for the deaths of 24
Pakistani peacekeepers. After four
months of fierce battles with U.N.
forces, he declared a truce Oct. 9.
Some people have speculated
that Aidid was trying to buy time
until the United States withdraws
from Somalia in March.
Aidid has been known to strike
back when his power seems to be
waning. And at a news conference
Sunday, he made it clear that the
old acrimony toward the multina
tional mission had not dissipated.
He vowed not to negotiate
with the United Nations, and on
Monday, his Somali National Al
liance boycotted two U.N.-spon
sored meetings: one to discuss
how to improve the city's securi
ty, the other to meet face-to-face
with the faction headed by Ali
Mahdi Mohamed, which controls
Mogadishu's northern half.
''The United States has been
bending over backwards to meet
some of the requests by the Soma
lia National Alliance," U.S. military
spokesman Col. Steve Rausch said
Monday. "We are disappointed.
They seem uncooperative.”
He did not specify what re
quests Aidid's faction made.
At his news conference Sun
day, Aidid said there could be
trouble if U.S. troops return to the
streets after a six-month hiatus.
On Monday, confrontation edged
closer when Rausch reaffirmed
that Army reinforcements soon
will be venturing beyond their
compounds.
"You will see an increased pres
ence,” he said, adding a warning of
his own about the repercussions of
Americans coming under fire:
"These forces are very capable.
They are very lethal."
The United States has pushed
back the starting date for joint
checkpoints and patrols with
forces from other countries. When
the Americans moved into their
new base outside the capital a
week ago, officials talked about a
couple of days. Now they say a
couple of weeks.
Americans have been off Mo
gadishu's streets since May, when
the United States handed over
command of the multinational
mission to the United Nations.
