Jendayi Frazer, assistant secretary of state for African affairs, was to co-host a meeting on Friday in Kenya aimed at finding ways to help Mogadishu, including backing an African peacekeeping force for Somalia, the US State Department said.

Frazer was in the Ethiopian capital for meetings with the leaders of Ethiopia and Uganda.

Uganda is the only country so far to offer troops for the peacekeeping force that was endorsed before the war by the UN.
