“Indeed, who has not heard reference made, concerning the African continent, to such subjects as the substantial increase in official development assistance, debt alleviation, the improvement of access for African products to the markets of developed countries, and so on and forth. These subjects have been repeated endlessly, but without any real, lasting application on the ground. At the Council's request, the Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, has published excellent thematic reports on the situation in Africa, including particularly the one on the causes of conflicts in Africa and the means to address them, in order to achieve peace leading to sustainable development, for the benefit of African peoples and the international community.”

“The various resolutions that it rapidly adopted, which unreservedly condemned acts of terrorism and advocated appropriate measures in order to effectively fight this scourge, have demonstrated once again how great its willingness is to respond to the expectations of the international community and how important it is for actions to be taken comprehensively to stem any evil that threatens international peace and security. We are gathered here again to address the situation in Africa in a single day. That is a genuine challenge, even if we only choose certain important points. We also incur the risk of having an exchange of platitudes, since the subject has been so much rehearsed during recent decades in all international forums and bodies.”

“I would be remiss if I did not extend my congratulations to the representatives of Cameroon and of Guinea, as well as to the other new non-permanent members of the Security Council, and to say how delighted we are to see them join this very important decision-making body of the United Nations. They can rely on the cooperation of the Ivorian delegation. This meeting of the Council on the situation in Africa is being held in a very special context, because it is the first of this magnitude since the tragic events of 11 September 2001. In the wake of those sad events, we have appreciated the way in which the Council was able to deal with the delicate questions raised by terrorism. Indeed, it was in a spirit of responsibility and a climate of calm that the Council responded, to the great satisfaction of all.”

“Frechette, representing the Secretary- General, Mr. Kofi Annan, whose commitment to Africa and to finding solutions to its problems is well known to, and appreciated by, my country. I am also pleased and proud to see Mr. Amara Essy, Secretary General of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), at this high-level meeting, where he is being called on to speak about Africa's problems. Who could be in a better position to tell us about Africa's situation and its prospects at this time of transition between the OAU and the African Union, when the international community is focusing its attention on other challenges? Lastly, I should like to welcome the presence of the President of the Economic and Social Council and to commend all of the members of the Council for their willingness to address the African cause.”

“Mr. Djangone-Bi (Cote d'Ivoire) (spoke in French): It is both an honour and a privilege for me to take part in this high-level meeting of the Security Council, in this first month of the year 2002, to engage once again in an exchange of views on the situation in Africa. I should like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. President, for the kind invitation you addressed to your Ivorian counterpart, Mr. Aboudramane Sangare, who, unfortunately, was unable to attend this meeting because of previous commitments. I should like also to express the satisfaction of Cote d'Ivoire at the excellent initiative you have taken in inscribing on the Council's agenda the item on the situation in Africa. Moreover, I am pleased to welcome the presence here and the statement made by the Deputy Secretary- General, Ms.”
