1. “That is why my delegation appeals once again to the international community to continue to support and further commit itself alongside the African Union and its subregional organizations in their joint efforts to establish a peace architecture and in the deployment of peacekeeping operations and various peace processes under way on the continent. In that regard, my delegation welcomes the multifaceted support provided by Africa's bilateral and multilateral partners, which are assisting the African Union in its various peace and security programmes, and recognizes the growing involvement of the United Nations.”

2. “Similar efforts have been made at the subregional level. The contribution of the forces of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, expanded to the Economic Community of Central African States, was most decisive in the gradual restoration of stability in the Central African Republic and facilitated the deployment of the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad. Various initiatives of African countries have made it possible to give the populations of such countries as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi reasons to hope for lasting peace. Africa's political commitment to investing in peace and stabilization on the continent is thus a reality. Regrettably, that commitment collides with a dearth of resources and limited capacities.”

3. “Here, it is worth recalling that peace and security are preconditions for all sustainable economic development. It is to that end that the African Union and its regional and subregional integration organizations are endeavouring to build a peace and security architecture, including by putting in place early warning systems and standby forces as peacekeeping operations conclude. This quest for peace and stability, including with regard to conflict prevention, management and resolution on the continent, is vibrantly reflected in the actions carried out in Darfur, where the African Union Mission in Sudan preceded the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, and in Somalia with the African Union Mission in Somalia, which is awaiting substantial support from and a handover to the United Nations.”

4. “Mr. Bale (Congo) (spoke in French): At the outset, Sir, I would like to congratulate you on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month and to thank you for having organized this debate on an issue so crucial and vital to Africa. I extend my delegation's congratulations to your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of Japan, who led the Council's work during the month of February, and seize this opportunity to offer to him the warmest appreciation of the Government of the Congo for his country's commitment to peace in Africa. Once again, Africa returns to the Security Council's agenda, as if to remind us that the establishment and maintenance of peace and security remain a major challenge, even though appreciable progress has been achieved as a result of actions taken under the leadership of the African Union.”
