Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Kalambay and Mr. Kabuya, for your testimony today and for your very important advocacy on this issue.
In 2017, the UN peacekeeping mission's troop levels were reduced and its budget was also cut. I'm trying to understand what the regional support is that is being provided. What is the role of the African Union in the DRC and in the conflict as well? Is it playing a role in terms of trying to find a political solution and with respect to the upcoming elections in 2018?
Mr. Kabuya, you can take this question.
