<text>leave out from `Ethiopia' to end and insert `notes that the Ethiopian government and UN agencies are working closely together to assist people exposed to drought in certain areas of Ethiopia; and calls upon the international community, including the Government, the European Union, the United States, the UN agencies and the African Union, to assist with the full deployment of AMISOM and UN peace-keeping forces in Somalia, so that Ethiopia can withdraw from Somalia without leaving a security vacuum, and for full support to be given to the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia to strengthen its institutions in order to facilitate the democratic process within the framework of the Transitional Charter of Somalia which paves the way for a democratically elected government in Somalia by 2009.'.</text>
