says key to

and war.
Even long-time observers, such as U.N.
'ecretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali,
eel that while advances toward a democratic
system are being made, they could easily
collapse like a house of cards.
But that doesn't mean the first taste of
representative government isn't winning fol-
lowers in a nation just 34 years old that is still
recovering from famine and civil war.
Consider what is happening in Baidoa, a
town that has been transformed from the hellhole
of Somalia's famine into an U.N. success story.
1 With the help of U.N. officials, the
region's clan elders appointed a representa-
tive district council in June and a regional
council in September.
"Under dictator Mohamed Siad Barre,
we had no freedom. This is our first real taste
of democracy," said Ibrahim Ali Ahmed,
chairs of the district council and a member of
one of the area's 25 sub-clans and tribes.
But the new local government is still
*'truggling.
leaving 30 people dead.
"The councils need salaries and budgets,
offices and police protection, but they don't
have them. If they can't generate that, they
may not survive," said Ahmed Mumin Warfa,
one of the top U.N. officials helping Somalis
appoint district and regional councils.
Despite that and other obstacles, the new
councils - which one day may appoint a
transitional national government - are ex-
citing for the many people who have never
seen anything like them.
"The clans of this area are now talking
and working together on councils for the first
time to protect this area and develop it," said
Malak Hassan Ali Katar of the Yantar sub-
clan.
Dressed in a traditional Somali shawl over
his head and shoulders and fighting back tears,
he said: "We only hope our new councils will
preserve our peace and stability."
When Siad Barre was overthrown in Janu-
ary 1991, 350,000 Somalis died in the civil
war and famine that followed. In Baidoa,
sunrise.
Today, most of Baidoa's brick and stone
homes remain pockmarked with bullet holes
and without roofs. But stores have reopened
and few people carry weapons openly, even
though the U.N. troops stationed here don't
patrol most streets.
For the first time since the famine, inter-
national relief agencies are working with the
new local government to force Somali com-
panies to bid for contracts to transport food
and supplies in trucks.
All this is new in Baidoa, where Siad
Barre's government was considered an alien
force imposed by outsiders. The local coun-
cils that existed then weren't representative
or independent of Siad Barre.
Clan elders were the closest thing to a local
government. They settled land disputes and
decided who would pay a murder victim's
family.
Siad Barre's entire system collapsed when
he was overthrown. In its place, the United
Nations is trying to put together a new system
based on 92 district councils, 18 regional
councils and, ultimately, a national assem-
bly.

ICEASSI TEDSI
peace is
compromise
JERUSALEM (AP) - Want to
know what Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin is thinking about the future?
Listen to Yossi Beilin.
That's what politicians of both the
left and right say about the growing
influence of the deputy foreign min-
ister, who sits in on top-echelon meet-
ings and has more clout than most
Cabinet ministers.
Beilin won acclaim for setting up
the secret "Oslo channel" for talks
with the Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation and appears to have become
Rabin's main adviser on peacemak-
ing strategy.
In an interview at his cubbyhole
office in the parliament building, the
former professor of politics said his
straight talk is partof the shocktherapy
he prescribes for bringing change in
the Middle East.
"I'm very afraid of group-think,"
he said. "In policy making, it leads to
big pitfalls. Nothing is more danger-
ous." In a rare burst of passion, he
added: "I'm haunted by it."
Beilin, who favors dark suits and
ties in a country noted for open col-
lars, appears torelish his role as icono-
clast, even though it reinforces the
arguments of critics that his radical
views are out of step with the public.
He caused his first uproar five
years ago as deputy finance minister,
shocking Israelis weanedon:social-
ism by declaring the country would
have to get used to high unemploy-
ment.
With similarly little regard for
political sensitivities, he has recently
issued these challenges to some basic
assumptions that have governed stra-
tegic thinking for a generation:
Settling the Golan Heights cap-
tured from Syria was a mistake and its
strategic impotance as a buffer has
declined.
The Jordan River is not essen-
tial to Israel's security.
Israel is wealthy and does not
need charity from Jewish communi-
ties abroad. It seeks real dialogue
with U.S. Jewish groups, not "stand-
ing ovations" from them.
For years, Beilin was seen as a
stalking horse for his mentor, Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres. The two were
so close that Rabin, a longtime rival
of Peres in the Labor Party, once
called Beilin "Peres' poodle."
These days, Beilin is seen more as
point man for Rabin's peacemaking
with the Arab world, spelling out in
plain language what other officials
only hint at.
He says, for example, that most of
the West Bank and all of Gaza will
likely return to Arab control. Rabin
has avoided talking about the extent
of territorial concessions.
