The African Union president announced on Tuesday the regional body still has difficulty finding extra troops to send to troubled Somalia, three months after Ugandan peacekeepers deployed.

Speaking on Tuesday, Ghanaian President and AU chairperson John Agyekum Kufuor said deployment of extra troops will not be immediate.

"The AU wants to send 8,000 peacekeepers as soon as possible but we are having trouble finding the troops," Mr Kufuor said.

Mr Kufuor was speaking in Pretoria, South Africa, where he met South African President Thabo Mbeki.

On Monday, Mr Kufour was quoted in the media as saying the AU would send an extra 8, 000 peacekeepers to Somalia, but on Tuesday he said he was referring to the original deployment of AU troops, not any new ones.

Yesterday, Somalia called on African nations that promised to send peacekeepers to keep their word now that the worst fighting is over.

Somali envoy in Kenya, Mohamed Ali Nur, said yesterday; "They have promised before, so we just say 'keep your promise."

So far, only Uganda has sent troops. Diplomatic sources in Kampala told Daily Monitor that the Somalia mission has been plunged in more trouble following Mozambique's pull out.

Malawi and Ghana's deployments are also in balance. Burundi, a country still emerging from a decade long civil war is dogged by cash and language command problems. Burundi had promised between 1,500 and 1,600 soldiers; Nigeria 850; Ghana 350; and Malawi an unknown number

The spokesman of AU Peace and Security Council Assane Ba, however, said no country has canceled her pledge.

"No state member of the AU who promised troops has canceled. It is a question of resources which we expect from partners," Mr Assane said in a telephone interview from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

"By the time these member states announced their pledges, they knew there was a problem. Why would they pull out at this time," he said. Britain, USA, Norway and France, had pledged financial support to the Somalia mission but little of that has actually materialised.
