Hon Speaker, I would like to thank the hon Deputy President for the reply. I wish also to recognise the efforts of everyone involved.
However, the Somali humanitarian crisis is an international source of concern, particularly for Africa. The role of the AU has been very ham- fisted and uncoordinated, due to the fact that there is no humanitarian arm in the AU that specifically deals with such crises.
The question therefore is whether you would agree that the AU needs to have a humanitarian agency or arm that will be responsible for dealing specifically with such crises in future, and what the South Africa government is doing to encourage the AU to establish such. Thank you.
