Ethiopian Herald (Addis Ababa):
Somalis are "truly tired of the many years of chaos and conflict" and there is more reason to be hopeful about Somalia than ever before, says Michael Ranneberger, the U.S ambassador to Kenya, USINFO reported Friday from Washington.
The amount of assistance being provided is not yet sufficient, but we are continuing to press others to do more," he said, adding that the United States is a leading donor government and for many years has been the nation contributing the most humanitarian aid to Somalia. President Bush has requested from Congress an additional 60 million USD in assistance for Somalia, he said.
The United States supported the deployment of Ugandan military forces to Somalia and has pledged additional support for other AMISOM forces, he said. In addition, the United States very soon will provide Somalia with 10 million USD in development assistance, mainly for social services. There is also a plan to help security forces become more professional, he said.
The international assistance is a very important development factor in some countries, Somalia is not the exeption, for the internal war in Somalia overs, the international comunity must contribute. The end of the war in Somalia is ths short's run sollution, but the education to the childrens can be the long's run sollution, so a mixture of short run with long run sollution must be a better idea than spend the money only in war.
