Yeah I'm we do in fact have aided program a which is scorn 17:47.580 --> 17:52.390 on power African countries a to do more sector drop in the future 17:52.500 --> 17:57.300 and uh in tracking a these farms have and it's actually administered 17:57.300 --> 18:00.150 by a part of of a political military bureau. 18:00.700 --> 18:02.890 And um our weapons a. 18:03.620 --> 18:06.160 A reduction and a debate that program. 18:06.740 --> 18:09.230 Uh and what it involves is um. 18:09.910 --> 18:13.570 Of basically going to fundamental principles. What's the best 18:13.570 --> 18:18.530 way to track of arms is inscribed in each arm of the two armed 18:18.530 --> 18:23.320 Depot it in the region with a serial number of creating a databases 18:23.350 --> 18:28.330 of which uh which all regional partners can access that uh enables 18:28.400 --> 18:33.390 a a naval law enforcement forty's and garments up to figure out 18:33.650 --> 18:39.930 a what the origin of these weapons of was we has since 2006 inscribed 18:39.930 --> 18:41.040 300 and fifty. 18:41.570 --> 18:45.170 Bowels and uh a small arms and light weapons soon African caught 18:45.200 --> 18:45.390 in a. 18:45.950 --> 18:50.040 Uh was serial numbers and we so we feel that that is that point 18:50.040 --> 18:56.000 to a help African a nations get a handle a Hong the of the trafficking 18:56.000 --> 18:59.100 of a arms which continues to be a problem in the region. 18:59.440 --> 19:03.670 We're not done a uh we have we understand that there is a huge 19:03.670 --> 19:07.530 number of flow of weapons in the region of but we're gonna continue 19:07.530 --> 19:11.030 to wrote costly the fungus per from because we fix for it important.. What. 19:11.630 --> 19:20.040 What. Well in some instances is enabled us to identify where 19:20.440 --> 19:24.770 a particular bad actors that got weapons and uh that sometimes 19:25.080 --> 19:29.840 gives us indications that uh you know but Depot about this improperly 19:29.840 --> 19:34.330 secured and we need to go back there and teacher in other instances 19:34.330 --> 19:37.990 their answer the response is just to destroy the weapons and 19:37.990 --> 19:41.590 we've also a help African governments to do a whole lot about 19:41.590 --> 19:45.390 we destroyed 250 styles and small arms and light weapons and 19:45.390 --> 19:47.760 the African continent over what so for years. 19:48.430 --> 19:51.290 If I could just a at one point to that is that they. 19:51.880 --> 19:55.870 Take what it shown is that some States in africa and elsewhere 19:55.870 --> 19:56.390 in the world. 19:57.120 --> 20:02.380 Take more seriously and are more effective at controlling and securing. 20:02.970 --> 20:07.440 The stop files belonging to the place and no whatever and knows 20:07.440 --> 20:12.320 that take it more serious like are more likely to prevent the 20:12.320 --> 20:15.750 on authorise Shipman across national borders of what it's. 20:19.850 --> 20:25.540 What. The golden actors up in the region are you. 20:26.090 --> 20:29.310 I think you kids come up with the list just like me but also 20:29.310 --> 20:32.820 bob is bad actor poke a promise of that actor the lord's resistance 20:32.820 --> 20:34.290 army is that there was. 20:36.390 --> 20:40.520 On the but we the week you up we can try to come back to sue 20:40.670 --> 20:44.290 closer contact information of like specific. So we're a we didn't 20:44.390 --> 20:45.420 been able to work. 20:45.940 --> 20:50.290 Um. Figure out where the arms are coming from the capita do. That. 20:55.490 --> 20:55.780 It is. 20:56.300 --> 20:57.610 I'm just going to say. 20:59.540 --> 21:01.600 Of The nation at peace in. 21:02.210 --> 21:02.890 The woods. And 21:06.900 --> 21:07.870 Stand. A 21:13.960 --> 21:15.660 A certain you see. 21:16.280 --> 21:16.720 You know. 21:18.440 --> 21:20.270 It's. Uh. 21:23.610 --> 21:26.540 It's Is. 21:27.530 --> 21:32.180 Right. Yeah that was fun he. 21:32.750 --> 21:34.590 Uh. It's really. 21:35.620 --> 21:36.160 Yeah. Index. 21:38.690 --> 21:42.980 But the the that big of Kosovo. So it was the first to first 21:42.980 --> 21:46.600 fat color on habit um with respect to the to peacekeeping were 21:46.600 --> 21:50.210 Nakhon announced today that and the the new initiatives uh. 21:50.440 --> 21:53.530 You know I think later on and we don't need a announcement song 21:53.870 --> 21:57.270 you resources and program so well so I don't wanna go there. 21:57.270 --> 22:00.620 But I would just kinda emphasize right now but the us is already 22:01.050 --> 22:05.410 a huge claire uh in in peace keeping both in terms of training 22:05.440 --> 22:07.210 and in terms of a fondant. 22:07.730 --> 22:11.400 Uh I talk the talk about train you a good in my remarks of the 22:11.400 --> 22:11.820 with them. 22:12.380 --> 22:17.760 Uh was the was three 25 different African nations. So 200 50000 22:18.040 --> 22:21.900 African peacekeepers over Lassa for years. But also in in terms 22:21.900 --> 22:26.470 of financial resources meeting the United States is paying 28% 22:26.500 --> 22:31.180 of the un's peacekeeping budget a that means that just in a in 22:31.180 --> 22:33.910 fiscal year of 2013 we spent. 22:34.430 --> 22:38.960 One point seven billion dollars a to empower African peacekeepers. 22:38.960 --> 22:43.280 So to keep peace in several conflict of of parts of of African 22:43.280 --> 22:46.500 weeks in our nation's about nine billion dollars uh uh since 22:46.500 --> 22:50.880 2000 nine. So I take that that's a very powerful story uh you 22:50.880 --> 22:55.370 know itself the pros in obama um that is so is foreign policy 22:55.370 --> 22:59.240 speech was point may that emphasize the importance of so these 22:59.240 --> 23:03.720 un peacekeeping operations uh. Yeah and it's important to know 23:03.720 --> 23:08.350 overall a us foreign policy. So I think a is that she expect 23:08.350 --> 23:11.610 to see the administration continued to emphasize the importance 23:11.610 --> 23:15.950 of peace keepers uh an African a common and uh and throughout 23:15.950 --> 23:21.360 the world but with respect to of what you said about Somali uh uh. 23:22.510 --> 23:26.080 I would just make out a couple points of first 40 is uh it. 23:26.110 --> 23:30.040 It's certainly clue bit true that also bomb a is still out there 23:30.430 --> 23:34.340 uh I think that also bob is a is on the roam tanks to one of 23:34.340 --> 23:35.840 the efforts of ham san. 23:36.360 --> 23:42.410 A a Somali a national arm be that and uh which is doomed I recently reconstitute. 23:43.160 --> 23:48.020 Um and efforts of body the that countries that are contributing 23:48.020 --> 23:51.070 troops to the ham song uh uh effort which include. 23:51.650 --> 23:58.000 A Kenya and Ethiopia djibouti a condom of burundi um estate the 23:58.030 --> 24:02.050 in general to good news story work many villages sterile Somali 24:02.050 --> 24:04.890 especially and sell central Somali which was also about. 24:05.490 --> 24:09.900 A stronghold of have really been liberated a from all shiv are 24:09.930 --> 24:13.760 the control that's taken that uh uh some of the recent a terrorist 24:13.760 --> 24:17.040 activity up by a house of abu Kenyan djibouti. 24:17.570 --> 24:20.620 Is a reflection on its strengths but of a bit of weakness. 24:21.180 --> 24:25.980 Up with respect to up the final remark the made a about security 24:26.010 --> 24:29.470 and maybe this kind of a secondary issue in the summit. I mean 24:29.470 --> 24:29.980 the summit. 24:30.600 --> 24:35.770 Is involved in and All elements of our relationship uh with africa 24:35.770 --> 24:39.920 of but again as I said that at the beginning a security is a 24:39.920 --> 24:44.550 cornerstone element of about uh. I would argue that uh you don't 24:44.970 --> 24:49.760 get democratic governments. You don't get sustained economic development. 24:49.820 --> 24:53.960 Unless you can venture that uh the populations are secure. 24:54.010 --> 24:57.200 That's how you attract foreign investment bats. But you don't 24:57.200 --> 25:01.510 get a formers to go out and did built their land a until you're 25:01.510 --> 25:05.860 able to clear that landed a minefield. So we see the our security 25:05.860 --> 25:09.320 relationship with africa was part and parcel of everything that 25:09.320 --> 25:13.350 we're trying to do their a and we have very ambitious plans of 25:13.350 --> 25:18.950 for a relationship with Africa's pretty will play a big part. We're.. So. 25:21.200 --> 25:27.140 So. Which has The same. 25:27.850 --> 25:34.670 She it's Uh is to us this is to use. Station. 25:37.370 --> 25:39.890 Us. So what is there. 25:40.880 --> 25:43.580 The U.S. these ones be how much. 25:44.100 --> 25:57.280 And how much that I'm. This. Is. You. Jim. Hooker. 25:58.160 --> 26:03.460 Um. So the reason that we're a we're helping the uh a Somali 26:03.460 --> 26:09.110 national army. It is uh we one Somali it to have to be a a on 26:09.110 --> 26:13.700 the fact is national government and the are paul silver Lassa 26:13.700 --> 26:15.370 were years has been to help. 26:15.980 --> 26:20.010 Uh to create the conditions on the ground that will enable a 26:20.040 --> 26:25.430 Somali it to be the of earned. A good in a unified way five federal 26:25.430 --> 26:29.440 government and somalia's made huge strides uh it in that regard 26:29.440 --> 26:33.260 it again security is a is a fundamental a element of that. 26:34.200 --> 26:39.340 Um our main contribution a is uh uh this financial assistance. 26:40.280 --> 26:41.610 About whether it's so. 26:42.170 --> 26:46.170 Source we provide to the Somali national army which uh uh since 26:46.320 --> 26:49.430 2007 has been a hundred and 73 million dollars. 26:50.400 --> 26:51.650 Uh but we've also. 26:52.310 --> 26:57.440 Uh uh supported a and psalms a effort since 2007 to the two of 26:57.440 --> 27:02.760 a 500 twelfth a million dollar. So we have connected considerable 27:02.790 --> 27:07.750 a skin in the game a it can that word but but we also have I'm 27:07.780 --> 27:12.090 a a a a small mole church presents a the in Somali on their their 27:12.090 --> 27:16.500 to a areas that I would emphasize their first of all of us and 27:16.500 --> 27:20.870 talk to over a 20 13 we've established military court nations. 27:20.870 --> 27:22.420 So uh in Somali up. 27:22.970 --> 27:26.600 Uh and that the cell core needs with a smaller security forces 27:26.900 --> 27:30.650 and provides planning and advisories support them a song about 27:30.650 --> 27:33.860 to increase their capabilities and promote peace and security 27:34.250 --> 27:37.990 a throughout Somali and then the second element a which I think 27:38.020 --> 27:42.000 a released roughly what you ask me about a relates to a contingent 27:42.000 --> 27:45.000 of us a military special forces personal. 27:45.550 --> 27:48.820 Up who were under the operational control viewers africa command 27:49.220 --> 27:52.240 a and they've been present in Somali for number of years and 27:52.240 --> 27:56.260 what that person all uh is doing is working with the Somali forces 27:56.260 --> 27:57.120 working with a. 27:57.630 --> 28:01.620 Up in a soup special forces capability of the uh of the Somali 28:01.650 --> 28:07.490 a national forces um to make sure that the Somali a national 28:07.490 --> 28:11.060 forties are able to extend there are 40 a throughout the country 28:11.090 --> 28:15.710 and take that take the fight a directly doll shiv opt up and 28:15.710 --> 28:19.400 so uh. Oh we think that that the support is very pork ineffective 28:19.400 --> 28:20.460 and we intend to continue. 28:25.170 --> 28:27.740 Uh. Susan. Style. 28:32.330 --> 28:33.440 Um places. 28:42.180 --> 28:45.120 Yeah. The This to him. 28:46.250 --> 28:47.420 Their sons. 28:52.040 --> 28:55.010 Them.

Oh. My. 30:42.200 --> 30:43.060 As I got. A 30:46.790 --> 30:50.550 Maybe I'll start on that one on and my two colleagues may have 30:50.550 --> 30:51.810 some comments as well. 30:52.460 --> 30:55.450 A another gold of fee summit. 30:56.360 --> 31:01.630 Golf courses to talk about the development of strong democratic institutions. 31:02.230 --> 31:06.240 Uh in africa by it for a much like the president obama had to 31:06.240 --> 31:07.720 say when he said that's. 31:08.390 --> 31:13.780 Um. Africa doesn't need strong man so much a strong institutions 31:13.920 --> 31:17.300 and that means that all of the ruled lot. 31:17.840 --> 31:21.130 Development of strong constitutions of actually function. 31:21.740 --> 31:24.230 And to it does mean um. 31:24.920 --> 31:31.260 Being you know very clear about its top priorities for for good. 31:31.490 --> 31:36.110 Good governance and the times that means I'm not hiding behind 31:36.480 --> 31:40.390 certain labels of out of as a matter of convenience. 31:41.060 --> 31:44.700 Them to of we see this happening in other places around the world suddenly. 31:45.270 --> 31:50.330 I'm Of movement gets branded as a terrorist movement and its 31:50.330 --> 31:52.000 uses an excuse tend to. 31:52.510 --> 31:56.690 Undermine um what should be a normal practice of good governance. 31:56.690 --> 32:00.300 So I think one of the themes of this summit will very much be 32:00.790 --> 32:05.130 what a African nations can do working together working with United 32:05.130 --> 32:08.780 States working with other partners to build up strong institutions 32:08.780 --> 32:13.270 to build up could governments and in that way to. 32:13.800 --> 32:16.280 Address security challenges. 32:17.020 --> 32:22.640 I'm ian up in real way sand in ways that that in essence benefit 32:22.700 --> 32:26.490 of the people in and the individual countries. So that's a I 32:26.490 --> 32:29.760 think a strong strong message about the some of us. Well is that 32:29.760 --> 32:34.060 it is about to institution building and good governance tom de 32:34.060 --> 32:39.290 when I had anything yet but just to remark that uh you know us 32:39.290 --> 32:43.340 for all see is is multi dimensional a were very invested in the 32:43.340 --> 32:47.110 fight against counter terrorism. But we also of believe it's 32:47.110 --> 32:50.310 very important that to promote human rights all over the world 32:50.720 --> 32:54.460 uh and we also support democrat the democratic governments all 32:54.460 --> 32:55.140 over the world. 32:55.650 --> 32:57.260 Um so how do we. 32:58.010 --> 33:01.570 A jungle all these different factors as we make decisions on 33:01.600 --> 33:05.100 you to provide security systems to world the obama administration 33:05.130 --> 33:10.630 earlier this year by released of its conventional arms transfer policy. 33:11.140 --> 33:14.580 Which laid down and that is a public document which everybody 33:14.580 --> 33:18.610 can take a look that and it it specified is all the different 33:18.640 --> 33:22.750 uh factors that we have to take into consideration as we determine 33:23.110 --> 33:26.460 whether to a partner with a country on was pretty for upon art 33:26.490 --> 33:29.330 and if so what kinds of assistance to we provide. 33:29.850 --> 33:33.650 I'm so there's no committee seek live answer. We live in a complex world. 33:34.190 --> 33:37.950 Uh and sometimes we support the government's the imperfect human 33:37.950 --> 33:40.590 rights record of the cause of. 33:41.210 --> 33:45.310 Uh. So uh the result of their defeat by terrors like I'll shook 33:45.310 --> 33:50.940 off for a lord's resistance army uh it or or focal around is 33:50.940 --> 33:54.850 so terrible that it would make human right situation much much 33:54.850 --> 33:59.710 worse of the news today up so it's a it's a complex process is 33:59.710 --> 34:02.870 something that we're talking about within the the government 34:03.250 --> 34:06.820 every day that it's not easy but it's something a bit more furry 34:06.820 --> 34:09.950 engaged in and uh and we're gonna continue work out. 34:12.400 --> 34:14.140 Do we have any other. Questions. 34:20.720 --> 34:24.080 It's good to develop a day this award for something to extend 34:24.080 --> 34:28.170 the incident in filtration of ultra pile Siberia. 'S. 34:32.510 --> 34:36.190 I guess so I wouldn't to say it of um you know I don't have any 34:36.190 --> 34:39.010 specific information on the extent to which that's happening 34:39.040 --> 34:42.440 but I mean in filtration of brandy that terrorist organization 34:42.470 --> 34:44.780 in a legitimate institutions is so. 34:45.470 --> 34:48.230 There is were someone something that we keep a close. On. 34:51.560 --> 34:55.530 And that a lot to contain tedium. Good the role. 34:56.270 --> 35:00.160 A you'd be a no in the militants 40 flourishes. 35:01.750 --> 35:05.340 And if you guys that the international community make some state. 35:06.320 --> 35:09.880 Only getting the goath what about the And the thing until both 35:10.080 --> 35:13.560 but the beauty of tomato and what we uh when you use in but no. 35:14.990 --> 35:20.370 The movie it's the physical limits to give you an becomes a density. 35:20.900 --> 35:26.080 That with a kind of that the country to go running in that we 35:26.110 --> 35:28.730 can be with the consequences of the having no. 35:30.990 --> 35:34.830 Well. You actually weighs about three different issues there 35:34.830 --> 35:35.690 one is about. 35:36.500 --> 35:40.300 A weapons of mass destruction and proliferation and one is about 35:40.380 --> 35:43.560 conventional weapons and one is about whether that be it it's 35:43.560 --> 35:46.530 better off after Gadhafi that it was with him. 35:47.200 --> 35:49.530 Uh I can't address all popes. 35:50.100 --> 35:53.660 But let me know first in terms of proliferation of weapons of 35:53.660 --> 35:54.760 mass destruction. 35:55.320 --> 35:58.980 There's no indication that there is ban any proliferation of 35:58.980 --> 36:03.770 nuclear chemical or biological weapons are components out of 36:03.770 --> 36:09.250 libya since the fall called Gadhafi about the chemical weapons 36:09.630 --> 36:13.160 that libya handed both those that they could dial feverish team 36:13.160 --> 36:17.370 had to cleared and an additional stockpile that they had not 36:17.370 --> 36:20.370 declared intentionally or not I don't know. 36:20.950 --> 36:25.460 Odds are now largely destroyed in the process will be shortly 36:25.670 --> 36:28.900 completed in compliance with a chemical weapons convention. 36:29.520 --> 36:34.670 Uh the yellow cake. That's talked about is not an immediate proliferation rests. 36:34.900 --> 36:39.640 It is very low percentage of your rainy um uh and it's not that 36:39.670 --> 36:40.740 easy to move. 36:41.650 --> 36:46.760 A very is a sect a question that mr. Kelly may wanna comment 36:46.760 --> 36:50.740 on this. Well would choose a proliferation about certain. 36:51.160 --> 36:56.150 I've conventional weapons non duck bmd out of libya has in de. 36:56.690 --> 37:01.070 Then a major concern a major problem beauty is likely that a 37:01.070 --> 37:05.090 number of the so-called bad actors that of mentions have benefited 37:05.580 --> 37:11.650 from the export of such weapons out of libya and include not 37:11.650 --> 37:16.530 only conventional weapons used by soldiers on the ground up but 37:16.530 --> 37:20.910 also manpower torso man portable air defense systems that can 37:20.910 --> 37:23.400 be used to going down civilian airliners. 37:23.960 --> 37:28.300 On all of these we have active programs actually both of our 37:28.480 --> 37:36.250 heroes to help libya and neighboring States deal with a a B transfer 37:36.250 --> 37:41.210 of such weapons across borders uh. There's more that means to 37:41.210 --> 37:44.120 be day on we share the concern that you've outlined. 37:44.750 --> 37:49.490 And forget made but to a because it's not my field of won't comment 37:49.580 --> 37:53.940 on the difference for libyans between the Gadhafi re sheen than 37:53.940 --> 37:55.080 the current situation. 37:55.970 --> 38:00.030 Momma common command posts. Yeah just a very quickly out to say 38:00.030 --> 38:03.850 that the United States since the of the fall of fuck and ossie 38:04.340 --> 38:05.500 a unspent. 38:06.350 --> 38:08.690 Tens of millions of dollars a on a. 38:09.250 --> 38:13.710 A man pads eradication program of for these a man portable air 38:13.710 --> 38:14.750 defense systems. 38:15.310 --> 38:19.770 A out we have destroyed a accounted for and destroyed more than 38:19.770 --> 38:24.290 four thousand. Of man pants systems of from libya all owned. 38:24.830 --> 38:28.380 A which means that they are never one to threatening the civilly 38:28.380 --> 38:29.990 narrow airliners a. 38:30.500 --> 38:34.140 And we're very proud of that those are programs are on going a. 38:34.700 --> 38:37.750 You're in high is right now because it's security situation in 38:37.750 --> 38:41.900 libya vote. We remain committed to the program a until we're 38:41.900 --> 38:46.010 able to uh to destroy every every man pav that still remain in 38:46.040 --> 38:47.600 a in the.
