CF in Somalia

[Shaynelle]

Did anyone serve in Somalia here?  I need the correct spelling of Belladwain.  No atlas online has the proper spelling so I must be WAY offbase in my attempt to spell it.

Anyone here that can help me?

Thank you,
Katherine

Try getting a copy of David Bercuson's book Significant Incident - it provides a good starting point, that might help - and it's Belet Huen by the way.

You can also access the Somalia Inquiry documents on online through the CF public website or go the CBC on-line archives for its coverage.

cheers, mdh

Either what mdg said, or  Beled Weyne  

 

[MP 811]

the correct spelling is Belet Huen.

Disregard, mdh has it spelt right in the 2nd post

Thank you very much!  I'm working on a project for Uni and received "Bella Dwain" verbally and didn't ask to verify the spelling - just thought I could google and get the correct spelling.  Heh boy was I wrong

Thanks again,
Katherine
