   Five Countries Willing To Send Peace Keeping Troops To Somalia, Says PM

(RTTNews) - Somalia's Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi told the 
country's parliament on Tuesday that several African nations have agreed 
to send their troops for peacekeeping efforts in Somalia. He said that 
Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa, Malawi and Senegal have offered to send 
their troops to Somalia for peacekeeping operations.

Earlier, Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), a regional 
body under Kenya's Chairmanship, had dispatched special envoys to 
various African countries to explore possibilities of troop contribution 
to the proposed 8000 strong peace-keeping force to be deployed in 
Somalia. Uganda has already pledged 1,000 soldiers to the cause and 
other African countries were expected to make similar commitments.

Meanwhile Ethiopia said that its troops would remain in Somalia for 
another "few weeks", to allow the Somali interim government to take the 
nation into confidence after the defeat of the Islamists, who had held 
most of the country for six months. The Somali government forces, backed 
by Ethiopian military, had defeated the Somali Islamists in a quickfire 
10-day operation.
