14. “In this regard, we agree that a permanent solution and lasting peace can be achieved only through the resumption of negotiations in order to resolve issues of contention and by the adoption of a broad based and fully representative government acceptable to all the people of Afghanistan. We therefore commend the work of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Brahimi, and the United Nations Special Mission to Afghanistan, to achieve peace and to facilitate national reconciliation and reconstruction. To assist these efforts, the "six plus two" group should be encouraged to reinvigorate their efforts to find a common approach towards a settlement of the Afghan conflict. In fulfilling this role, it has also become necessary for the group to dispel the recent doubts raised as to its relevance in the Afghan peace efforts.”

My delegation does not believe that the Afghan problem can be comprehensively solved through military means.”

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Ambassador Lakhdar Brahimi a speedy recovery. The continuing war in Afghanistan, and, indeed, its escalation, remains a very serious concern to my delegation.

Yes, the atrocities that took place were gross, but peace is the only alternative, and that is the option the Government of Sierra Leone has taken. There is a pressing need to provide genuine solutions to profound problems that are seen to have been the cause of the conflict. We hope that all parties will have the political will to address them. We have no doubt that the Government will continue to work in good faith. The social costs of resettling and rehabilitating displaced people, refugees, amputees and demobilized ex- combatants will be astronomical and the task daunting.”

The 7 July signing of the Lome Peace Agreement between the Government of Sierra Leone and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) marked a watershed in the civil conflict that engulfed the country for more than eight years. We commend the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) and other forces for keeping a democratically elected Government in power. Nigeria, Ghana and other countries in the region made enormous sacrifices in this regard. Looking back at the events that took place, it is evident that a new culture has to be learned, a culture without impunity and adaptive to new governance and the rule of law.”
