  1. “The United States is extremely disappointed by the Sudanese Government's expulsion from South Darfur of the head of the Nyala office of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Mr. Wael al-Haj-Ibrahim. We welcome recent discussions between the Government of the Sudan and Under- Secretary-General Holmes on the extension of the moratorium on humanitarian restrictions. The moratorium is critical to reducing obstacles faced by international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in Darfur. As for Somalia, the United States is also deeply concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation there. The increase in violence in the capital has resulted in thousands of additional internally displaced persons (IDPs), including the estimated 230,000 displaced persons that Mr.”

  2. “We urge the inclusion in the peace talks of traditional leaders from Darfur, women's groups, local non-governmental organizations and leaders from internally displaced persons camps. The participation of local society is absolutely vital to the success of the talks. We call on the Government of the Sudan and the United Nations to rapidly advance of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) deployment. In this context, we urge the Government of the Sudan to approve without delay the full list of troop-contributing countries chosen by the United Nations and the African Union, and to meet its commitment to accept peacekeepers into Darfur and to provide them with the necessary visas, flight clearances and access to land and water, in order that they may successfully carry out their mission.”

  3. “Secretary Rice travelled to Addis Ababa this week to lead a Sudan ministerial meeting with representatives from the Sudan, neighbouring African countries and the African Union and United Nations Special Representatives for Sudan. A Viable political process and the deployment of a robust United Nations-African Union hybrid peacekeeping force are critical to improving the humanitarian situation in Darfur. We urge all groups to support an accelerated political process led by the United Nations and the African Union and a lasting ceasefire on the ground. We encourage all the rebel movements to set aside their differences and join together to better represent the people of Darfur. We call on all invited individuals and movements to attend the next round of negotiations.”

  4. “We would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Holmes for briefing the Council on his latest trip to East Africa. His visit and his report today help highlight three critical situations facing the international community. On the Sudan, the United States remains deeply committed to ending Violence in Darfur through a political settlement, providing critical humanitarian aid to vulnerable populations and supporting the rapid deployment of the United Nations-African Union hybrid peacekeeping operation, as authorized in resolution 1769 (2007). We further support a peaceful, unified and democratic Sudan within the framework of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, and we call for full implementation of all aspects of that Agreement.”

  6. “Presidential Special Envoy Natsios and Deputy Secretary Negroponte have both visited the Sudan the past year to consult with all parties to stress our continued support for the Darfur Peace Agreement and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the deployment of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur as mandated by resolution 1769 (2007). We also continue to urge those who have not signed the Darfur Peace Agreement or agreed to participate in the peace process led jointly by the United Nations and the African Union to do so quickly, so that efforts to rebuild Darfur may accelerate. The United States believes strongly in the need for accountability for acts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur.”

  7. “We also share the Prosecutor's concern about the increasing number of attacks, not only on displaced persons and other innocent civilians but also on personnel of the African Union and the United Nations and international aid workers. Violence and criminality against those who came to help the suffering people of Darfur are intolerable. Impunity for such acts must end. The United States continues to be deeply committed to peace, stability and the provision of humanitarian aid for the people of the Sudan.”

  8. “The United States is particularly troubled by the Prosecutor's report that the Government of the Sudan is still not cooperating and has taken no steps to arrest and surrender the two individuals that are subject to ICC arrest warrants, namely, Ahmad Muhammad Harun, current Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs, and the Janjaweed leader known as Ali Kushayb. We call on the Sudanese Government to cooperate fully with the ICC, as required by resolution 1593 (2005). As we noted following the Prosecutor's last briefing to the Council on Darfur, the United States has imposed targeted economic sanctions against certain individuals responsible for the violence, a transport company that has moved weapons to the Janjaweed militia and Government forces, and companies owned or controlled by the Government of the Sudan.”

  9. “Let me say up front that the concerns of the United States about the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court (ICC) are well known and have not changed. In spite of those concerns, we very much appreciate the report of Prosecutor Moreno-Ocampo with respect to his work pursuant to resolution 1593 (2005). The United States has consistently supported bringing to justice those responsible for crimes, human rights violations and atrocities in Darfur. The violence in Darfur must end. Those who have committed atrocities in Darfur must be brought to account. We share the Prosecutor's assessments that the ongoing situation in Darfur is alarming and that justice for crimes against the people of Darfur is needed to enhance security and send a warning to individuals who might resort to criminality as a way of achieving their aims.”

  10. “The United States commends the work of the African Union and United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB) in facilitating the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between the Government of Burundi and the FNL and in providing support for the alleged FNL dissidents located in two camps north of Bujumbura. The United States also welcomes the efforts of the Peacebuilding Commission in creating an integrated strategy for peacebuilding in Burundi. We strongly support the Peacebuilding Commission's work in implementing that strategy to produce tangible, sustainable results for the long term, and to prevent a reversion to conflict.”

  11. “I would like to thank Mr. Nqakula for travelling to New York to brief the Council on the latest developments in the peace process. The United States calls on the PALIPEHUTU- FNL to return to the negotiating table, refrain from any further violence and implement its agreement with the Government of Burundi by 31 December. We are encouraged by President Nkurunziza's recent efforts to reach out to the political opposition in Burundi, which culminated in the allotment of several ministerial positions to opposition parties in November. The United States congratulates Union pour le progres national (UPRONA) member of parliament Yves Sahinguvu, the new First Vice-President. We trust that President Nkurunziza and he will work together to establish greater political cohesion and to focus on the problems facing the country.”
