I know, but that doesn't actually answer the question. Why is it we didn't respond to the UN request to financially support AFISMA?
Yesterday you announced humanitarian aid in the amount of $13 million. Assuming it's new money, and assuming it's not just re-profiled money, that's a worthy announcement. Other nations simultaneously announced funding for AFISMA. If, in fact, the French have the success we hope they will have, the need for training, organization, and what General Vance would know way better than anyone else in this room is necessary will have to come through AFISMA, and it needs to be done now.
