Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) France agreed with the U.S. position concerning Somalia and IGAD's proposal to deploy troops there, MFA DAS-equivalent for Central and East Africa Jean-Christophe Belliard told us on March 18, after we conveyed reftel para 12 points to him the day before. Belliard said France "had no problem" with the USG's thinking. He commented that "it makes no sense for Ethiopia and the others" to send troops into Somalia at this time. Doing so would only "complicate current efforts," he added. Belliard indicated that the GOF would express this point of view to others concerned with the issue. Leach
