  1. “We are reiterating that call today. We have been given a unique opportunity to change the way we do business, by implementing to the letter the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework in good faith. The people of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo have suffered for too long. We commend the fact that the Security Council should remain seized of the matter. Let me conclude by reaffirming that the member countries of SADC associate themselves with the efforts of the United Nations and the wider international community aimed at the restoration of peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region.”

  2. “In that regard, we encourage the use of all the relevant regional and subregional dialogue mechanisms so as to build the much-needed confidence among national stakeholders, as well as between neighbouring countries. We anticipate the conclusion of the political process being facilitated by President Yoweri Museveni of the Republic of Uganda. We believe that those political talks, involving all stakeholders, will go a long way in attaining the goals of sustainable and durable peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region. It was in the same spirit that the SADC extraordinary summit held in Maputo in June underscored the need to consider engaging all opposing forces in an effort to find a lasting political solution within the Great Lakes region under the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework.”

  3. “Threats posed by rebels of the Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23) are real and must be countered as prescribed in resolution 2098 (2013), which the Council adopted on 28 March. Recent clashes in Goma between the Forces armees de la Republique democratique du Congo (FARDC) and the M-23, instigated by the latter, demonstrate the utter contempt of that rebel group. We all know what the Force Intervention Brigade is required to do in that regard, either unilaterally or jointly, with the FARDC. SADC is aware that the Intervention Brigade alone cannot bring about lasting peace, security, stability and prosperity to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region.”

  4. “Parallel to those efforts, SADC is pleased with progress in the deployment of the Force Intervention Brigade, which should be completed soon. Once it becomes fully operational, it will contribute to reducing the threats posed by armed groups on the State authority of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ensure the security of civilians and make space for stabilization activities. We believe that this Charter organ will continue to provide the necessary support for the Intervention Brigade to fulfil its mandate, particularly by ensuring that it has the capacity to carry out targeted offensive operations in a robust, highly mobile and versatile manner. We note with concern the resurgence of violence in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  5. “We commend the Secretary-General for his continued engagement in that process. His visit to the Great Lakes region with the President of the World Bank last May attests to his commitment. We welcome the commitment of the World Bank to pledge an additional $1 billion for development endeavours in the region, which are critical for rebuilding communities impoverished by the protracted insecurity and instability. Similarly, we commend Ms. Robinson for her lively engagement with the Government, civil society and other stakeholders whose involvement in efforts to find lasting peace, security and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region is pivotal. For the Framework to succeed, we must embrace a holistic, all- inclusive approach.”

  6. “Mr. President, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is honoured to participate in this ministerial debate on the situation in the Great Lakes region under your presidency. We commend the Secretary-General for his informative report (S/20l3/387) on the implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region. SADC also commends Ms. Mary Robinson, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region, and the President of the World Bank, Mr. Jim Yong Kim, for their valuable support to the implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework. As one of the guarantors of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework, SADC is encouraged by the steady progress in its implementation.”
