『ソマリア内戦 正義という名の虐殺～国連平和執行部隊の実態～』
ソマリアは、アフリカの東海岸に面し、海を挟んで北にサウジアラビア、西と南にエチオピアとケニアに隣接した国です。
その地形から”アフリカの角”と呼ばれています。
単一民族のソマリ族が人口の大半を占め、
ほとんどがスンニ派イスラム教徒です。
しかし、単一民族とは言うものの、ソマリアには多くの氏族部族がおり、氏族間、部族間の抗争も絶えませんでした。
1960年にイギリス及びイタリアの植民地支配から独立しましたが、
独裁政権に不満を抱く氏族が反政府組織を結成したため、1988年に内戦が勃発。
その後、暫定政権が樹立されたものの、アイディード将軍派が暫定政権に反発。
国内はアイディード派とモハメド暫定政権大統領との武力抗争に発展し、
首都モガディシオを中心に戦闘が繰り広げられていました。
内戦と干ばつで、人口の半分に当たる約400万人が飢えに苦しみ、
1日に数干人もの死者が出ていました。
そこで、人道援助物資の輸送ルートを確保するという目的で、
国連安全保障理事会が1992年12月、
アメリカを中心とする多国籍軍を派遣したのです。
この多国籍軍の主導権はアメリカ軍にありました。
その後、アメリカ軍は指揮権を国連に引渡し、
第2次国連ソマリア活動が始まります。
これをUNOSOMⅡといいます。ソマリアにおける「平和執行活動」の始まりです。
