  1. “In this regard, the support of the international community and of the United Nations is invaluable in accompanying national efforts aimed at restoring and strengthening the population’s confidence in public institutions and at creating acceptable conditions for the restoration of lasting peace and stability in the country, making it possible, inter alia, to attract foreign investment, which the country greatly needs in order to revive its economy. My delegation encourages the Haitian authorities to make efforts towards national reconciliation and appeals to all stakeholders to refrain from violence and resolve their differences by peaceful means.”

  2. “At the same time, the socioeconomic situation remains difficult, with a food crisis that continues to give cause for concern. According to the World Food Programme, a third of Haiti’s 11 million people are malnourished, and about 1 million of them are severely malnourished. Regrettably, United Nations specialized agencies are experiencing difficulties in mobilizing the funds needed to finance the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan. My delegation remains convinced that a solution to the current crisis in Haiti can be achieved only with the will of the Haitian people to find consensual solutions through dialogue.”

  3. “Mr. Aougi (Niger) (spoke in French): Allow me to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General of the United Nations and Head of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), Ms. Helen La Lime, and Ms. Marie Yolène Gilles, for their briefings. Over the past few months, we have followed with concern the evolution of the sociopolitical situation in Haiti. In addition to the disagreements over the formation of a Government since 13 January 2020, the parliament has remained non-functional, following the departure of the members of the Chamber as a result of the failure to hold the elections scheduled for 2019. That is regrettable, as it is precisely a peaceful and inclusive electoral process that could bring about the long-awaited stability in Haiti.”

  4. “In conclusion, we believe that such international solidarity would be embodied by an early resolution to the Libyan conflict; the financing of the G-5 Sahel; broad membership of the international Coalition for the Sahel, created on 10 January in Pau, France; the strengthening of the capacity and mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) to enable it to be more on the offensive and lend a hand in the event of an attack on a G-5 Sahel country by terrorists; the promotion of information-sharing between MINUSMA and the G-5 Sahel on the presence and movement of terrorist groups; substantive support for the Governments of the affected countries in the implementation of their development and good governance programmes — because, as we fight the terrorists militarily, we will also have to simultaneously combat the sources of its financing and address the factors that promote the emergence of its ideology, such as ignorance and precariousness; and the effective implementation of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel.”

  5. “That is why — in the name of collective security and before it is too late — I call for more active and effective international solidarity to eradicate all security threats in the Sahel and other affected parts of Africa, as mentioned in the Secretary-General’s report.”

  6. “To be even more effective against this transnational enemy, those countries have pooled their forces through the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel) and the Multinational Joint Task Force, which have been effective, particularly in the Lake Chad basin, where they triumphed over the Boko Haram combatants, now entrenched in the Sambisa forest. I thank all the friendly countries and organizations that support us in this struggle by training and/or equipping our soldiers, as well as through military operations on the ground. Despite the resolve of our Governments and the bravery of our soldiers, our countries clearly do not have the necessary or appropriate means to defeat this transnational enemy. That is the reason for the escalating threat to which I referred earlier.”

  7. “It is evident that the Sahel has become an ideal zone for the most dangerous terrorist groups, which collaborate with other transnational criminal organizations operating in the region, such as drug, arms and human traffickers, to do their dirty work. As a result, the Governments of those countries are making enormous efforts to protect their populations and the integrity of their territories. For example, the Government of the Niger allocates more than 25 per cent of its national budget to that end, to the detriment of basic social services, such as health and education.”

  8. “The Islamic State’s West African Province claimed responsibility for the attack on the military camp of Inates, on the Malian border, on 11 December, killing 71 soldiers; the ambush of 25 December, against a convoy of soldiers escorting teams in charge of the electoral registration, killing 14 people; and the attack against the military camp of Chinagodar, also on the Malian border, on 9 January, killing 89 soldiers. The recurring terrorist attacks in the subregion have led to the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, thereby exacerbating the already worrying food insecurity in the region and accelerating the closure of thousands of schools and health centres.”

  9. “Mohamed Ibn Chambas, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel, drew our attention to the intensification in recent months of terrorist attacks of unprecedented scope in the Sahel region, with the threat progressing from the north of Mali towards the so-called three-border zone countries — Burkina Faso, Mali and the Niger — and potentially spreading to coastal countries. In the space of three years, he told us, the number of victims of terrorist attacks in those three countries had risen five-fold, rising from approximately 770 in 2016 to over 4,000 reported deaths in 2019. One month ago, my country experienced three deadly attacks that claimed the lives of 179 Nigerien soldiers.”

  10. “Mr. Aougi (Niger) (spoke in French): I would like to thank Belgium for the choice of this topic at a time when the populations of several countries of the Sahel, including the Niger, are facing a surge in extremely lethal terrorist acts. I would also like to thank Mr. Voronkov and Ms. Coninsx for their briefings As the Secretary-General clearly underlines in his report (S/2020/95), the destruction of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant did not put an end to the spread of barbarity by its combatants, let alone diminish their ambition to conquer and possess territory. We therefore do not have the right to give them yet another chance to reconstitute their sanctuary in another part of the world. In his briefing to the Council on 8 January (see S/PV.8698), Mr.”

  11. “The fight against terrorism, threats to peace and security, climate change and the management of migration flows are areas of further enhanced cooperation between ОSCE and other regional and subregional organizations, particularly those from Africa. Indeed, it is well known that security dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa impact peace and security in Europe. That is why the Niger calls for the expansion and strengthening of cooperation between the OSCE and those organizations. Such an approach could be considered together with the Group of Five for the Sahel, with a view to seeking solutions, in a spirit of solidarity and concerted action, to the current challenges facing the Sahel region in terms of peace, security and the fight against poverty.”

  12. “With regard to the crucial role of regional and subregional organizations in the management and prevention of conflicts, and in line with the principle of subsidiarity, the Niger welcomes the outcome of the meeting of 9 December 2019 on Ukraine, in the Normandy Format, among France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine. It paved the way for the adoption of various confidence-building measures, including the exchange of prisoners, the establishment of new disengagement zones and the opening of new crossing points along the line of contact. We therefore encourage the Albanian chairmanship to work towards restoring peace and stability in Ukraine by bringing together the parties involved to overcome their differences in order to implement the Minsk agreements, in accordance with resolution 2202 (2015), of 17 February 2015.”

  13. “The spread of hate speech, which fosters the violent extremism that leads to terrorism, is a strategic challenge that must be met with further action by the international community. Such action should be demonstrated by concerted efforts in the areas of sustainable development, institution-building, the rule of law and good governance. The Niger welcomes the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the OSCE and the Office of Counter-Terrorism and the excellent cooperation between them. We encourage the two organizations to intensify their cooperation efforts in areas related to the women and peace and security agenda and urge them to identify opportunities for cooperation in the implementation of resolutions 2250 (2015) and 2419 (2018), on youth and peace and security.”

  14. “Mr. Aougi (Niger) (spoke in French): I would like to thank the Chairperson-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Prime Minister of Albania and Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, His Excellency Mr. Edi Rama, for his briefing. The OSCE cooperation model, which is an expression of the shared vision of its members to be responsible for their own collective security, must be commended. Today’s briefing enabled us to understand the main focus of Albania’s work at the helm of the organization — that of combating corruption, trafficking in persons and the spread of hate speech, and resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine and other conflicts in the organization’s area of operations.”

  15. “We also welcome today’s meeting of the African Union High-Level Committee on Libya in Brazzaville and call on the Security Council to take into account its outcomes, which will be endorsed at the upcoming African Union summit, to be held in Addis Ababa in a few days. Finally, the Niger encourages the Libyan parties to prioritize dialogue and to reject any external interference in their affairs.”

  16. “In that regard, we reiterate the African Union’s call for a ceasefire between all parties and the return to an inclusive political process so that Libyans can engage in dialogue among themselves and there be compliance with the arms embargo and the imposition of sanctions against violators. The Niger welcomes the meeting on Libya held in Algiers on 23 January, which brought together neighbouring countries and in which Germany participated. That meeting was a good step in seeking to ensure inclusiveness on the Libyan question, for which my country, the Niger, has always called and will work with the countries concerned in order to advance the peace process in the country.”

  17. “While we welcome the truce observed during the Berlin international conference on Libya, the recent resumption of hostilities is a stark reminder of the complexity of the conflict, which is exacerbated by foreign interference and the ongoing and blatant violation of the arms embargo. The Niger strongly condemns that state of affairs, which is characterized by a dangerous deterioration in the humanitarian situation in the country. It cannot be said often enough that without a solution to the Libyan crisis, the Sahel will continue to be exposed to the horrors of terrorism, particularly since international terrorists are deploying their most dangerous and battle-hardened affiliates there. Libya does not need more weapons and terrorists transferred to it; it needs peace.”

  18. “Mr. Aougi (Niger) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Ghassan Salamé, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and Mr. Mathias Licharz, speaking on behalf of the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya, for their thorough and valuable briefings. The Council may rest assured that the Niger, a neighbouring country of Libya directly affected by the crisis, is ready now more than ever to contribute to international and regional efforts for the peaceful resolution of the Libyan conflict, a guarantor of stability in the Sahel.”
