I Think Now, We In The International

We Need Better Coordination On The International Side, Just As They Need Better And More Effective Efforts On The Somali Side. We Have Too Many Reconstruction And Development Assistance Plans.

I Think Now Somalia Is Turning A Corner And We Can, With The New Political Development, Build On Momentum - Really Build A Peaceful Future.

It's A Cruel Reality. But After A Week, Very Few People Survive.

Finally, I Am Encouraged To Note That The Security Council Issued A Statement Today Expressing Its Concern About The Massive Humanitarian Crisis In Darfur And Calling On All Parties To The Conflict To Protect Civilians And Reach A Ceasefire.

In A World Full Of Competing Emergencies And Disasters, It Really Helps If There Is An International Locomotive That Can Help Us Bring Attention - Help Us Bring Resources.
