UN chief unsure about peacekeeping force for Somalia

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that "uncertainties" remain about whether a UN peacekeeping force is the right tool to support the new Somalian government's efforts to establish itself and promote national reconciliation.

Mr Ban said in his quarterly report to the UN Security Council that he would provide further advice and recommendations on the deployment of a peacekeeping operation by April 15 and will continue to update and revise contingency plans for a UN force.
