[indistinct chatter]
[sighs]
Here is your white wine.
- Thank you. - You are welcome.
Hey, Pete.
Little-- little thirsty tonight?
Ha, yeah.
Super thirsty.
[laughs]
Pete, this is Haraysa.
Haraysa, this is Pete.
Haraysa just got back from Africa.
Oh, Africa.
Anyways, uh, where was I?
Oh, the AUC.
Oh, right, so this conflict
is exactly the reason the African Union Commission
was put in place to address.
(Haraysa) The organization of African Unity
certainly wasn't gonna do anything.
Oh, exactly.
And if Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma
wants to do anything about Bangui,
she's certainly being quiet about it.
The worst part about Bangui
is that no one knows what's going on.
Oh, no, I know.
I mean, look at right next door,
the South Sudan.
Here's the thing.
Everybody just thinks that it's like--
that it's the damn Lion King over there.
You know?
Lion King.
Excuse me?
It's not The Lion King.
Exactly.
I mean, what do people think?
A...
baboon is going to hold a lion cub
over a rock, up to the sun,
while all the little animals sing?
Anyway...
Um...
So I also wanted to mention is,
they have the manpower,
because AMISOM has 25,000 troops
just sitting there in Somalia.
It's not a "three animated hyenas" situation.
That doesn't make any sense.
The bad guy isn't Scar over there.
Um...yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
It's not like Scar's the bad guy.
Well, I mean, you know, the truth is,
no one knows who to blame,
because in reality,
AMISOM doesn't have that much control.
- They don't. - Like Simba.
Oh, like Simba.
He had no control over--
Well, he was plucked out from his home
and went on a whole journey
before he came back
and was just in the middle of a war.
Really had nothing to do with him.
You know, Pete, I'd be really interested
in hearing your thoughts
on the UN's policies in East Africa.
Hakuna matata.
[scoffs]
Unbelievable.
Yes.
My God, that sums it up perfectly.
There's so much work still to be done.
Yes, that's what I was saying.
This has been going on for so many years.
So many years, Circle of Life.
Hmm.
Exactly, that's really brilliant.
I'm not brilliant.
Let's dial it back.
I'm just a man.
Okay, uh, I'm gonna--
I'm gonna go get some hors d'oeuvres.
Okay, no need to announce it.
What are your thoughts on the Middle East?
Aladdin.
Huh.
