...agreed to dispatch armed troops, yes, but before committing itself fully, Washington wanted to make strict, limited rules and stick to them. The list of not-to-dos ran long. U.S. soldiers would be there for four months only. "We are not planning a mission to go in and disarm the factions," said Defense Secretary William Perry, "or to separate military from refugees." The troops would not protect aid convoys, not conduct forced entry into camps, not police camps, not help in surveillance. They would not even go into Zaire without "assurances" that hostilities would stop...

...this time has so far refused to enter talks. Russian President Boris Yeltsin is taking a hard-line approach. In Paris to attend the funeral of Francois Mitterrand, Yeltsin said he would agree to the rebel demand that Russian troops leave Chechnya, but only after the rebels agree to disarm. This essentially has been the Russian position for several months and a chief sticking point when peace talks collapsed last year...
