Under the Great Lakes Conference, we have a protocol for conflict resolution. Under the Constitutive Acts of the African Union (AU) Charter, there is a provision for conflict resolution. We can only go to those organs if the interface and the interaction between the two countries have failed. I submit that they have not! Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, an amendment was sought and accepted by this House to the effect that we report this matter to the United Nations (UN). Nothing can be more fallacious!

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Yesterday, the Speaker ruled that in accordance with Standing Order 79(1), you cannot discuss the conduct of a President of a friendly nation without a substantive Motion.
