African and Arab officials working out how to deploy a peacekeeping force in Somalia heard from a Somali official who said residents of the lawless nation would not accept troops from neighboring countries.

Somalis would welcome the force only if it were made up of Muslim soldiers from other parts of Africa and the Muslim world, Mayor Ibrahim Omar Sabriyeh Shawey on Tuesday told the 12 military and civilian officials from the African Union and Arab League.

The head of the fact-finding team, Admore Kambudzi, said the African Union will take Somali sensitivities into account before deciding on what kind of force to send.

The force is to protect officials in a new transitional government -- the second in five years for Somalia, which has been without an effective central government since 1991. Neighboring Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti have so far agreed to provide troops or logistical support for the 7,500-strong initial force.

"We welcome foreign troops if they're not from the neighboring countries, especially from Ethiopia," Shawey told the officials, who arrived on Monday. Somalia lost a 1977 war with Ethiopia, and "we would rather accept troops from the rest of Africa and from the Muslim world as a whole."

Shawey's statement underscored concerns of Mogadishu residents who, spurred on by Islamic clerics, demonstrated on Friday and Monday against the prospect of troops being sent from neighboring or non-Muslim states.

Analysts have also warned that sending in troops from neighboring countries that have backed different Somali factions could further destabilize the Horn of Africa nation.

Shawey did not say if Somalis would fight troops from neighboring countries, but some Islamic clerics and even a few members of the new government have threatened to violently resist any troops from neighboring states.

Interesting that’s good move for Somalia, all the world is not helping 1st because they have no self-interest to offer help and 2nd the brutality of Somalis and their fear of outsiders.
Somalia needs to accept any form of help offered to disarm these warlords, and maybe a outsiders can break the paralyse we are in. the civil war has gone on long enough and no sort of revolution has come from it, some civil wars clear countries of hate and corruption, but Somalia’s 1 inspires prejudice and is killing the country rather then bring about change.
Kuffir’s coming to help with peacekeeping would be out of the question, 1st reason because a black kuffir brings in aids and horrid frame of mind, they can’t even help themselves and their own economy what could they possibly bring to Somalia a country in pieces but still keeps its honour of moral values and protected from humiliations of poverty and endemic of diseases.
2nd mercilessness and discrimination would break out in the Somalis as well as the so called peacekeepers, as they might take advantage of the state of the country.
Muslims helping and imposing as peace keepers would be great, but that too would have to be considered. It would have its own problems as ‘Muslims’ aren’t as pure as they use to be, but if they come with good intentions, and with the force of Allah, Ahlu Aclam…it just might be the ice breaker Somalia needs.
