African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) says that it requires over $90 million for the troops in Somalia.
African Union (AU) sent the appeal for the funds on Wednesday.
Ambassador Bankole Adeoye, Commissioner for AU Political Affairs, confirmed the need for the funds when speaking to a few journalists.
“Our forces in Somalia would not operate properly without fresh funds,” Amb. Adeoye said.
AU has a 19,600-strong force in Somalia.
