Thank-You Alexa McDonough

For addressing this issue which if isn't addressed will make our efforts at peace in Eritrea Ethiopia in vain.

"NDP Foreign Affairs and International Development Critic Alexa McDonough (Halifax) wrote to Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew today urging him to take immediate action to help avert another war between Eritrea and Ethiopia."

I served in war torn Eritrea Ethiopia. I would not like to see my efforts and the efforts of my fellow Soldiers from Canada and the rest of the United Nations who served in Eritre wasted by letting what we accomplished in Eritre and Ethiopia go to waste.

It's funny but when I left after serving three months and holding the fort in the south for our African counterparts to take over in the south you could see the writing on the wall.

Why you might ask, well our original mandate wasn't the southern sector to begin with but the country who was supposed to occupy the southern sector were late getting there, so we Canadians were asked to filled in until such a time as they arrived.
To our dismay when they arrived they had no weapons, vehicles,and very few uniforms not to mention were missing many other of the other infrastructure necessary to support troops in the field let alone in the field in a war torn country to try and keep the peace.
Thankfully the UN either bought, leased, or borrowed some Russian carriers for them to have. But the problem still remained for them to be trained and the necessary infrastructure to maintain vehicles was missing.
I believe they were given some war stock pile FNC1's as weapons?

Those people were ready and willing for peace all they needed was someone to help them keep it!

"Immediate Action" from a Liberal government?
I'm sure it's their number one priority.
