UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. Security Council demanded on Tuesday that all nations enforce an arms embargo against Somalia after experts warned an influx of weapons could threaten the country's new government as it returns from exile in Kenya.
Somalia has been divided into fiefdoms, ruled by rival warlords since 1991, when President Siad Barre was ousted. The United Nations imposed an arms embargo the following year, but it has not been effectively enforced.
A transitional government was formed last year in Kenya after lengthy negotiations but it hasn't returned because of insecurity.
