The head of a planned African Union force to hunt warlord Joseph Kony said on Wednesday that he can’t start his task because he doesn’t have troops, equipment or the necessary funding.

Ugandan Col. Dick Olum spoke to The Associated Press from Yambio, South Sudan, as AU and United Nations officials gathered in Uganda to consider regional efforts to catch Kony and dismantle his infamous Lord’s Resistance Army.

“We don’t yet have the force to start the mission,” said Olum, whose appointment was announced in February. “The problem is logistics, facilitation and personnel.”
