Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I thank the witnesses as well for their testimony. That was very complete.
I just wanted to say something right off the top, because Aaron was the last witness. I noticed you mentioned that when your car was vandalized twice, you did call the local police. We really need to have other Eritreans who are dealt with inappropriately by the embassy, or these things that you allege the embassy has been involved with to extort money, to come forward and give evidence of that, either to the local authorities or at least to our foreign affairs department. Those are things that we can act on. We need to have the source of these rumours.
I can tell you I have absolutely no love lost at all for al-Shabaab, and anything we can do to diminish their capability, I'd be happy to do, but we need more than a rumour to act on. So whenever you can, when you're dialoguing with your community, the more they can report specific substance, the easier it is for us here in Canada.
Elizabeth, I just wanted to ask you about the African Union, and to thank you again for all the good work that you do. We've heard testimony that not only is the regime in Eritrea abominable when it comes to how they deal with their own people, but they also are big troublemakers in the region. Has the African Union warned them, taken any action, or done anything in order to stop the human rights abuses or their capacity to go over their borders, particularly in supporting al-Shabaab, and wreak havoc in other countries?
