===Mission shift and increasing tensions=== On 3 March 1993, [[United Nations Secretary-General]] [[Boutros Boutros-Ghali]] submitted to the [[U.N. Security Council]] his recommendations for shifting from [[UNITAF]] to [[UNOSOM II]]. He said that since Resolution 794's adoption in December 1992, UNITAF had deployed 37,000 personnel over forty percent of southern and central Somalia. He said the force's presence and operations had improved Somalia's security situation and the delivery of humanitarian assistance. There was still no effective government, police, or national army, resulting in serious security threats to U.N. personnel. To that end, the Security Council authorized UNOSOM II to establish a secure environment throughout Somalia, to achieve national reconciliation so as to create a democratic state.<ref name="Clancy"/><ref>[https://www.un.org/Depts/DPKO/Missions/unosom2p.htm United Nations Operation in Somalia II]. UN.org (31 August 1996). Retrieved on 1 May 2014.</ref> At the [[Conference on National Reconciliation in Somalia]], held on 15 March 1993, in [[Addis Ababa]], [[Transitional Government of Ethiopia|Ethiopia]], all 15 Somali parties agreed to the terms set out to restore peace.<ref name="Clancy"/> Major disagreements between the UN and the [[Somali National Alliance]] began soon after the establishment of UNOSOM II, centering on the perceived true nature of the operations political mandate. In May 1993, relations between the SNA and UNOSOM rapidly deteriorated, resulting in the SNA engaging in "anti-UNOSOM propaganda" broadcasts from [[Radio Mogadishu]].<ref name=":04">{{Cite report |url=https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/189847 |title=Report of the Commission of Inquiry Established Pursuant to Security Council Resolution 885 (1994) to Investigate Armed Attacks on UNOSOM II Personnel Which Led to Casualties Among Them |author=UN Secretary-General |date=1 June 1994 |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220808203834/https://tind-customer-undl.s3.amazonaws.com/ce7dc2ef-9f39-4d27-ac51-8b5484f1ec37?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27S_1994_653-EN.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXL7W7Q3XFWDGQKBB%2F20220808%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Date=20220808T203834Z&X-Amz-Signature=43ed65cdbf97860aa0b1879c87a9c713da9cd23ec94035a340d94a6bb5a08595 |archive-date=8 August 2022}}</ref>
