(21 Feb 1995) T/I: 10:10:57 DSSE1 10:19:32 DSSO

Over three hundred Egyptian soldiers serving with the United
Nations force in Somalia left Mogadishu on Monday (20/2) as the UN
evacuation enters it's final stages. They boarded a military
aircraft headed for Cairo. Meanwhile, hundreds of Somali's gather
daily outside the UN base near the airport. Some are waiting to
collect their last pay cheques, while others try to find a way to
steal what they can.
