Djibouti would also be sending a total of 5,700 soldiers to join Amisom - up from 1,500 originally agreed - of which 200 are already in Mogadishu, the AU said.

No mention was made in the comminque of a 1,500-strong contingent promised earlier by Sierra Leone.

It was a BBC typo they changed it :down: The 5700 is a combination of Kenyan and Djiboutien troops.
