§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures he has taken to inquire into the facts of the killings at Kismayu in Somalia; and what representations he has made to prevent such massacres from recurring.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe alleged killings in Kismayo are of great concern. Belgian troops deployed there are investigating the reports. A recent meeting in Addis Ababa between the Somali factions has reached provisional agreement on a cease-fire, disarmament and encampment of militias. This should help prevent such incidents.
