| EU pledges €170 million to tackle Horn of Africa instability |
| 2016-12-17 |
| To help tackle the root causes of instability, irregular migration and forced displacement in the Horn of Africa, the European Commission has adopted a new set of programmes today. The package of 11 measures is worth €170 million and was decided by the third Operational Committee meeting of the Horn of Africa region of the EU Trust Fund for Africa. It complements 24 previously adopted actions amounting to €436.5 million for the Horn of Africa, which were approved in three packages in December 2015, April 2016 and October 2016. Of the previously adopted actions for the Horn of Africa, €204 million have already been contracted. Among these are national projects in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda, and four regional projects. |

| #1 The Byzantine sent a wagon load of God to Attila the Hun's camp in the hopes he would not invade Thrace and the Balkans. The next year the price went up. |
