UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has warned of a growing
humanitarian crisis in Somalia.
"Overall, 1.5m people are in need of humanitarian assistance, a 50%
increase since the beginning of the year," he said on Friday.
Earlier, he said a UN force would not be viable and that other
options should be considered, including a multi-national force or
what he calls a "coalition of the willing".
The African Union did agree to send 8,000 peacekeepers to Somalia
this year but only 1,600 Ugandan troops have actually made
it.
Coalition of the willing? Yeah sure..how's he going to get this
off the ground and into the ears of the P5.
