The head of the African Union Mission in Somalia expressed “grave concern” on Thursday regarding the European Union’s recent 20 per cent cut in payments for Amisom troops.
The AU is “doing its utmost” to make up for the loss in pay that was scheduled to take effect at the start of this year, Amisom chief Francisco Caetano José Madeira told the United Nations Security Council.
