It has trouble collecting taxes. having trouble introducing democracy in a It couldn't negotiate a cease-fire between country that has seen little but dictatorship two local sub-clans that fought in December, in Somalia hundreds of people died every day. M bodies were found lying in the streets Rabin aide says key to any s at 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.
