Je sais que le Canada a fourni un soutien logistique et financier à l'Union africaine, sauf que, dans le cadre de missions de maintien de la paix de l'ONU, surtout en République démocratique du Congo, on lui a demandé à plusieurs reprises d'envoyer deux, trois ou quatre grands stratèges, autrement dit des généraux hautement compétents, pour épauler l'Union africaine, mais le Canada a refusé. La situation se détériore rapidement et semble vouloir tourner au génocide, surtout à l'encontre de la population musulmane, quoique les chrétiens courent aussi un risque énorme là-bas.
