Desalegn: Troops are ready for deployment to South Sudan

The slow response by the UN in providing logistics for the regional protection force has delayed the deployment of more troops to South Sudan. In an exclusive interview with CCTV’s Girum Chala Ethiopia’s PM Hailemariam Desalegn who is also Chair of IGAD, the Inter-governmental Authority on Development, said even though the region has prepared the required troops, they cannot be deployed without the required logistics to support their operations.
