 AU told to send troops to Somalia 

Lusaka, 19 April-(ANA)-The Pan-African Parliament (PAP), sitting in Midrand, South Africa, has unanimously adopted a motion calling on the Africa Union (AU) and the United Nations to implement their resolution on the military support to the Transitional Government in Somalia by  sending the remaining 3,000 peacekeepers to the Horn of Africa nation.

PAP said in a statement that ''Somalia has experienced almost two decades of severe instability, lack of security and countless human sacrifices.

''The blood of many women, children and the most vulnerable of the society has been repeatedly spilled in the country.''

PAP also urged the African Union to put in place support mechanisms to train and retain the Somali internal forces, including facilitating the Transitional government in recruiting and equipping over 40,000 internal forces.(ANA)
