Security & Political Dialogue: August 2004 Appendix G Security is now embedded in the dialogue betw een the international community and the GoS, but when it comes to the policies being follow ed on the security issue many in the international community are holding back.

In the meantime attacks against v illages continued. Despite commitments from the international community of financial support, the AU protection force is deployed late due to logistical and financial problems w hich continue once the force is deploy ed.
