  1. “If we must wait until everything is in place before assistance is given to the country to hold elections, I believe the population will continue to suffer. This is not what either the United Nations or the international community as a whole would want. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to the donors that continue to help the country, such as Italy, which has forgiven 100 per cent of debt, Japan, which has donated rice, and the other countries that in emergencies have provided money to calm the situation. I would like to voice my appreciation to all those in the international community who are fighting for improvements in the country.”

  2. “Another positive part of the report concerns the United Nations Children's Fund programme to promote early childhood development and to feed children. I am aware of the fact that the situation in Guinea-Bissau requires that we do more than simply maintain order at the border with Senegal. We must also bring calm to the cities and villages of Guinea- Bissau by improving the security of the people and breaking down all kinds of barriers that prevent the country from moving towards development and peace. I will not end my statement without appealing yet again to the international community for its support. As I said before, it must not give up on Guinea-Bissau. I appeal to it to continue to help the country. Problems exist and must be resolved. How is this to be done?”

  3. “It has not yet been possible to implement such an approach, for reasons that will become clear during the visit to Guinea-Bissau. I shall arrive in the country two days before the delegations of the Economic and Social Council and the Security Council. In saying this, I am continuing to appeal to the international community not to give up helping the people and Government of Guinea-Bissau to find a way out from the deep crisis in which we now find ourselves. I would also like to make some comments about the positive parts of the report, including the military and security aspects. A positive sign is that the World Bank is helping the Government find a way to pay some of the arrears to teachers and to feed some 80,000 children of Guinea-Bissau.”

  4. “It had been quite some time since the Economic and Social Council Ad Hoc Advisory Group has visited the country with representatives of the Bretton Woods institutions. At that time, they went over the details of the problems in Guinea-Bissau by meeting with President Yala, members of the Government, opposition figures, the media, civil society and people of all stripes. All these efforts were made to better understand the situation in the country and find better ways to address the economic crisis and calm social tensions. Those efforts continued after the return of the delegation from Bissau. The group produced a report that puts forward very positive recommendations. The report states that both sides must work with each other in a spirit of partnership and compromise.”

  5. “The creation of a security advisory group on conflict prevention in countries emerging from conflict is yet another part of the United Nations battle for peace and security in the world. Today we are discussing one such country, Guinea-Bissau. Let me express my deep appreciation for the attention that the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council have been paying to countries emerging from conflict, especially Guinea-Bissau. Today, we are discussing the report of the Representative of the Secretary-General in Guinea- Bissau. As one can see from the report, Secretary- General Kofi Annan has discussed the political, economic and social situation in Guinea-Bissau, which remains of great concern.”
