  1. “It will therefore be very important to continue providing support to the G-5 Sahel countries in mobilizing resources. I would like to conclude by thanking the French presidency, especially Mr. Le Drian, for included this item on the Council's agenda at short notice. I wish France every success with its presidency and I thank all the members of the Security Council.”

  2. “The second point that matters to us is that the Security Council can provide support to enable the Joint Force raise the resources it needs to succeed, because this kind of effort obviously requires resources that the countries concerned are not always in a position to provide. That is why it is important for the Security Council to support us in mobilizing resources through the various financing meetings to be convened and bilateral assistance, as has been discussed. The Joint Force's requirements for its operations have been evaluated and are generally reasonable. We have various stages to get through, but despite all the various political and other kinds of support that the Joint Force has been offered, we believe that without the minimum resources it needs to fulfil the mission it is tasked with, it has no chance of succeeding.”

  3. “That is very important, since we believe that the Joint Force must act on a basis of international law. A resolution was adopted and perhaps in the future others will be, too. In any case, it is important to us that these resolutions be robust, as the Secretary-General has requested, and that they can ensure that the Joint Force enjoys the maximum possible support from the Security Council, the European Union, the African Union and the other relevant organizations. It is therefore important that the resolutions not only welcome the creation of the Joint Force but also support, endorse and provide it with authority to engage in this fight against terrorism on behalf of the international community.”

  4. “That started some time ago, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the countries, especially France, that have supported us in our struggle to launch this Joint Force for combating terrorism. The Joint Force is beginning to mobilize. We are making progress in organizing it that is significant for an organization as recently established as the G-5 Sahel. That is why we believe that for this kind of venture to succeed it unquestionably requires the support of the international community. Without that it cannot succeed, and what it particularly needs is the support of the United Nations and the Security Council, which is why we asked for the Council's support at a very early stage. We thank the Council for all its efforts so far. We requested that support in order to establish a legal foundation for the Joint Force.”

  5. “As all the speakers have said, the Sahel region, and West Africa as a whole, is currently the focus of several threats, which, if not firmly checked, could threaten the stability of the entire region. Indeed, they could also threaten peace all over the world, because our region is located on the borders of Europe, and if it is destabilized, it in turn could destabilize a significant part of the world. It was to tackle this situation that the member States of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel) established and launched the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel in order to combine their efforts to fight terrorism together.”

  6. “Mr. Bhatia (Mauritania) (spoke in French): At the outset, on behalf of the people of Mauritania and its President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, I would like to thank the Security Council and express our gratitude for its ongoing interest in the security and development challenges of the Sahel region. Mauritania is absolutely determined to fight robustly alongside its brother countries to combat terrorism because we ourselves have been fiercely attacked by these forces of evil. It has cost us enormous effort and sacrifice to fight them and to have achieved a more or less stable situation today, despite the fact that we know that in our region we are never safe from this network. We are therefore pleased to be here and very grateful to the Council for the invitation to participate in today's meeting.”

  7. “Annabi whether the pattern of restrictions and incidents has eased up in recent weeks, or whether it has intensified. Has any plan of action been adopted by UNMEE to deal with this issue?”

  8. “We would like to echo the eloquent opening remarks of the Permanent Representative of Jamaica. She said that Under- Secretary-General Guehenno's briefing and, indeed, the comments made earlier by members, have dealt with this issue fairly comprehensively. Hence, we shall restrict our remarks to just two points. First, in our View, the establishment of the Temporary Security Zone marking the formal separation of the two parties is indeed a welcome development. Secondly, however, an outstanding area of concern, as Mr. Guehenno mentioned this morning, remains the restriction of movement imposed on the personnel of the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) in certain areas. Incidents involving UNMEE patrols such as the one that occurred on 7 April are cause for concern. In this regard, we would like to know from Mr.”
