3/within the population vis-à-vis the Mozambican forces.
- He could say little about effective coordination between Rwanda, SAMIM and EUTM

Now it will be interesting,how EU HR-Borrell will comment on the remarks of V-A Bléjean about possible EU-financing for #Rwanda mission and his complaint, that #EUTM is not allowed to operate in the field.
AND what about EU-#SAMIM?
