Thank you, Chair.
Thank you very much for coming and talking to us.
There are so many questions to ask. I only have six minutes to ask them.
I want to start by saying that we've engaged closely in partnership with the African Union. We have engaged closely in all kinds of bilateral things with countries like Ghana that we think we can work with, but has anything really seemed to work? Africa is still the continent that's most poor. It still has a lot of security issues. We talk about women, peace and security. Is it working in Africa? There is so much war. There is so much insecurity and so much conflict. How can you, even with the best of intentions and the greatest amount of money, cut through all of that disrespect for human rights, that anger, that sense of people not trusting each other and the lack of democratic institutions that Mr. Aboultaif talked about?
There are so many things that we're doing. Are we making any impact? We've been working for so long; a decade is a long time. Have we been impacting anything? What do we need to do? Do we need to shift our focus? Africa remains the single most important, can I say, pimple on the face of the earth because it does not value human rights, and it has lots of conflict. Climate change is unbelievable there. People are poor. There's a lack of opportunity.
Can we shift what we're doing? Should we shift what we're doing? That's a question I want to ask. I know it's an open-ended question, but I want it to be open-ended because I want to have an open-ended answer. I want you to blue-sky it for me.
