UN intends to establish Somalia peacekeeping force

UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution Friday expressing its intention to establish a U.N. peacekeeping force in Somalia, but putting off a decision for several months in order to assess the volatile situation in the Horn of Africa nation.
The resolution renewed the mandate of the African Union force, known as AMISOM, for another six months and urged African nations to beef up AMISOM's troop strength from the current 2,600 to the 8,000 originally authorized.
The resolution expressed the council's "intent to establish a United Nations Peacekeeping Operation in Somalia as a follow-on force to AMISOM, subject to a further decision of the Security Council by June 1, 2009." more..http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090117/ap_on_re_af/un_un_somalia
