and kenya i think has a role to play. at the end of this week there's going to be a somewhat of the regional organization, and it's very possible that at that summit ethiopia will hand over the chairmanship to kenya. that is an assumption people make. we on the european side would welcome it and i told the canyons that your opinion would be very happy to be supported as possible. it will mean real engaged on kenya's part to facilitate that on somalia what it is pretty heavily invested in different ways but helping with ethiopia, helping with south sudan and the like. so if it takes on this role formally, it will be fighting off a big chunk that it's going to have to then shoe on and we have to be very, very helpful to them. as i said, we would welcome it. >> thank you. we will mike ask a question. >> mike moreau, u.s. department of state and currently here at the wilson center. first, wanted to thank you for your comments today and also thank you for your tremendous work in your role over the last eight years in a region

i have worked in kenya for a number of years. i wonder if you could share your thoughts on how you see kenya role specifically in the region. their exporting security to somalia and things of that nature, the all struggles the kenya has and whether they are able to do or if they have a capacity to be an exporter of security or what roles do you see them in the corner of africa or at large? is an economic powerhouse in the sense that it has an incredibly everything. -- economy. of making a question sure that every distribution within the system works. secondly, kenya is going through its own exercise of reviewing its entire constitutional arrangement post 2007. emblematic in a more sophisticated sense of what is happening in the region. how do yousue is, get accountability and how hard you decentralized and region where you still have incomplete metal projects? -- national projects? this the fascinating part of this region. which of about federalism in sudan is theral -- same. how do you move behind -- on an ethnic country to some

n effect -- and kenya is emblematic in what is happening in the region. the real issue is how do you get accountability, and how much do you de-centralize in a region where you still have incomplete national projects? this is the interesting and fascinating dilemma of this region. we talk about federalism in shawl ya. sudan is the same. ethiopia today, it is how do you move beyond an ethnic federal country to something else? kenya has its own version, and they created counts and the like. you have different views on this. does that mean 48 point of corruption or 48 points of accountability? usually it is both anywhere, not just kenya. there is a whole debate going on there. if they can take this to another level where they begin to create a greater cohesion within the country, that will make kenya an absolutely solid platform to be able to play, i think, a really important role in a region which as i say is otherwise changing incredibly rapidly. in terms of its role in the region, it stradsles the horn. the horn has been more a security concern and kenya
