Last day in Addis.

We are leaving for Juba

Addis
African Union headquarters
Yesterday our delegation met with the heads of the African Union including Commissioner Jean Ping, Senior Political Advisor Nakaha Stanislas, and the Commissioner for Peace and Security Ambassador Ramtane Lamamara.
They told us "We need help. We do not have sufficient means to sustain our troops... Everybody knows we need external assistance...
There are only 9 battalions on the ground now. We are supposed to have 18... We don't understand why no one will give us the helicopters we need. Many countries have helicopters. " Over and over they said ,"We need help."
