  1. “As we know, today Somalia is led by democratically elected authorities, following the election on 15 May of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, whose Government has made considerable advances on various fronts, including by promoting national reconciliation, ensuring the security of the country’s entire territory, facilitating the internationally supported security transition in accordance with the Somalia Transition Plan and the national security architecture. It is therefore important that the international community continue to support the efforts and the policies of the Government of Somalia, particularly when it comes to reconstruction, restoration of the State and combating the terrorist threat posed by Al-Shabaab.”

  2. “Mr. Doumbeneny Ndzigna (Gabon) (spoke in French): My country abstained in the voting on resolution 2662 (2022), on the sanctions regime in Somalia, which was just adopted. The sanctions regime in Somalia is one of the longest-standing in the Security Council. Beyond the challenges Somalia faces that require a response, it is important to bear in mind that sanctions are not intended to last forever. They are not an end unto themselves but rather a tool for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  3. “In conclusion, we encourage the parties to follow the logic of de-escalation, and we remain convinced that only diplomatic initiatives, especially dialogue between the parties, must prevail.”

  4. “It is imperative to improve the detention conditions, especially for women and children, and end mass arrests and attacks on schools, which, like places of worship, must be sanctuaries. Similarly, it is necessary to ensure the protection of property, particularly livestock and the agricultural production of the population. My country reiterates its support for a two-State solution. In that regard, intercommunal actions on the ground are necessary to initiate daily cultural exchanges between Israelis and Palestinians and ultimately promote living together. Such actions can support, and serve as a foundation for, creating the necessary conditions for a climate of trust and better use of international diplomacy.”

  5. “With regard to the situation between Israel and Palestine, and in the light of the detailed briefing we have just heard, we note that the daily life of the people in that region remains marked by violence, namely, violence arising from the establishment of new settlements and the attendant frustration. The ongoing situation serves to create a permanent source of tension on the ground. Much of the violence, which also takes the form of brutality and the disproportionate use of force against civilians, claims an ever-increasing number of women and children as its victims. My country condemns all violence against civilians and calls for respect for international human rights and international humanitarian law conventions.”

  6. “Mr. Doumbeneny Ndzigna (Gabon) (spoke in French): I thank Special Coordinator Tor Wennesland for his enlightening briefing. I welcome the Permanent Representative of Israel and the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine to today’s meeting. The overall situation in the Middle East remains an issue of genuine concern. The repeated terrorist attacks that have targeted the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in recent weeks, the attack on the Blue Helmets of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and the security and humanitarian situation and numerous human rights violations in Afghanistan paint a deeply alarming picture. My country reiterates its staunch condemnation of such terrorist acts and expresses its grave concern regarding the plight of women and young girls in Afghanistan.”
