"While the world's focus has primarily been on the growing refugee camps in Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti, primarily due to a higher concentration of media in those regions, it is imperative that the EU recognise that the greatest potential humanitarian catastrophe bar none remains in Somalia, where Irish charity GOAL estimates there are approximately four million of the worst affected people, most of them unable to leave because of illness or the threat of armed violence. The onus now is on the international community to create a safe environment in Somalia which will permit all relevant agencies and authorities to spearhead a meaningful relief effort. To that end, I join my colleagues in recognising the African Union's commitments to the humanitarian operation including the AMISOM peacekeeping mission, though more needs to be done. Thus far, only 9 000 African Union peacekeepers of a promised 20 000 have been deployed in Somalia. However, these actions can only achieve a lasting and meaningful legacy if they are underpinned by a broader strategic blueprint for stabilising the region, primarily Somalia. I therefore welcome this resolution's call for an EU strategy for the region which outlines political objectives and how individual humanitarian, development, security and military measures correspond and interlink."@en1
