Fabregas Posted March 31, 2008 I am afraid, today, it cannot be 8,000," he said. "We are looking at possibly 20,000. Why? If at that time, all the countries (had) contributed 8,000, then we would have seized the opportunity and gone into these areas and do the patrols and help facilitate people. But we did not. So what has happened? The opposing forces have gone and mobilized. They have equipped themselves. They have done their propaganda and so on. And so, it is now going to be more costly, both in terms of personnel and resources." http://www.hiiraan.com/news2/2008/Mar/african_union_peacekeepers_say_more_troops_needed_to_stabilize _war_ravaged_somalia.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
