The African Union has endorsed a plan for military intervention in Mali, where Islamists have seized control of its desert north, the AU’s Commissioner for Peace and Security said Tuesday.
The AU Peace and Security Council “has decided ... to endorse a harmonized concept of operations for the planned deployment of AFISMA, which is the African-led mission in support of Mali,” Ramtane Lamamra told reporters, speaking after an AU peace and security meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.
Lamamra did not provide details of the mission, but said it aims to “regain the occupied regions in the north of the country, dismantle the terrorist and criminal networks and restore effectively the authority of the state over the entire national territory.”
He said the AU urged the United Nations to “authorize for an initial period of one year the planned deployment” of the force.
West African leaders at an emergency summit in Abuja on Sunday approved a 3,300-strong force for Mali to wrest control of the north from Islamist extremists as fears grow over risks they pose to the region and beyond.
Lamamra said he believes the U.N. will pass a resolution approving the mission before the end of the year, but did not confirm when the first troops could be deployed.

Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”.
