New York - The United Nations Security Council
is condemning the flow of weapons and ammunition to and through Somalia
and Eritrea in violation of arms embargoes against both countries.
A resolution adopted unanimously
by the council on Wednesday reaffirmed the arms embargoes on Somalia and
Eritrea but gave a green light for Somalia to import some military
equipment for its security forces.
It barred the security forces from
bringing in heavy equipment including surface-to-air missiles,
anti-tank and night vision weapons and large mortars, guns, howitzers
and cannons without prior approval from the council committee monitoring
sanctions against Somalia.
The council expressed deep concern
at reports of continuing violations of a ban on exporting charcoal from
Somalia and underscored its willingness to take action against those
who violate it. - Sapa-AP
