South African President Thabo Mbeki said on Friday that Africa has no choice but to help bring peace to war-torn Somalia, but did not pronounce on whether South Africa was to send troops to any such effort.
The president made the statement in his first weekly newsletter for 2007, published on the website of his party, African National Congress (ANC), on Friday.
"For the sake of both Somalia and our continent as a whole, Africa has no choice but to come to the aid of this sister African country," Mbeki said.
