  2. “We reiterate our full readiness to support all sub-regional, regional and international efforts aimed at stabilizing the Sahel and West Africa in general. Our great hope is that the presidential statement just adopted (S/PRST/2012/26) and the ideas presented during this meeting will help us develop an integrated United Nations strategy for the Sahel so as to bring security, stability and development to the peoples and States of the region. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council.”

  3. “The mutli-dimensional and interconnected crises in the Sahel must be addressed through a holistic and integrated approach that takes into consideration, in a coordinated and synchronized way, all of the political, economic and social threats facing the region. These crises require the urgent implementation of measures because time is on the side of terrorists and criminal groups. The Kingdom of Morocco participated in the Rome meeting, which allowed us to identify ways to achieve a comprehensive and coordinated approach for the Sahel, including the State of Mali, and would like to reaffirm its commitment to supporting the outcome of that meeting. We are committed to the security and stability of the Sahel, which draws its legitimacy and relevance from a commitment deeply rooted in our history and geographical location.”

  4. “Such cooperation is needed to organize humanitarian assistance in a comprehensive manner and to focus on the regional dimension. In this context, we welcome the tremendous work carried out by various actors, in particular the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Committee of the Red Cross, in addition to the various specialized humanitarian agencies on the ground. We hope that they will achieve concrete results for the Sahel and deal with the problems in a manner based on sustainable development, which, in turn, requires cooperation with the international community, including the World Bank, the African Development Bank, whose representatives are present today, and the Islamic Development Bank.”

  5. “With regard to coordination, a number of praiseworthy initiatives have been undertaken at the national, bilateral, subregional and regional levels, with a view to providing solutions to the challenges facing the Sahel, and this was already achieved before the Malian crisis. Unfortunately, those initiatives have not yet enabled us to deal with the problems in an integrated, comprehensive and coordinated manner. The time has therefore come to overcome those obstacles and to institute inter-regional cooperation and coordination between the States of the Sahel and the Maghreb for the stability of this strategic area of Africa. The various organizations brought together here today provide an appropriate platform to lay the groundwork for the sort of interregional cooperation that would be effective in the Sahel.”

  6. “We would like to commend the efforts undertaken by the Economic Community of West African States to resolve the crisis. It is our ardent hope that the Council will be able, as soon as possible, to respond positively to the requests made in unison by the African continent to assist Mali in fighting these threats. The international community should strengthen its support to States in the region to help them build their national capacities, establish effective security institutions and fortify their borders. It is vital to emphasize efforts undertaken in these areas by relevant United Nations entities.”

  7. “That constitutes a threat to the security and stability not only of Mali but also throughout the region. That dangerous precedent on our continent is a call to the international community, which is represented by the Council, to act swiftly to support Mali by assisting it in responding firmly and effectively to the situation. Any delay in the resolution of that grave crisis will only strengthen the stranglehold and control of terrorist and criminal networks on the region, which grow in strength daily, transforming the area into a base for and source of terrorism. We believe that it is vital to give priority to supporting Mali on various fronts - political, economic, security and humanitarian - so that the country can restore its territorial integrity and deal with all of the entities threatening its stability.”

  8. “We should recall that concrete and specific indications of the existence of challenges that should be overcome began to emerge a few years ago, although the international community did not address those threats and their root causes or take or accelerate the measures that might have helped to block or limit the proliferation of such illicit activities. It was therefore quite normal that Morocco, as an old African State focused on the security and stability of Africa, would place that serious question at the heart of its concerns during its presidency. The Council should focus on this question given its historic relations with the region. We feel the threats being faced by the Arab Maghreb Union, to which we belong. Terrorists, separatists and criminals have committed acts of violence on over two-thirds of the national territory of Mali.”

  9. “Romano Prodi, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Sahel, whose mission, under resolution 2056 (2012), is to prepare and develop an integrated United Nations strategy for the Sahel, in order to increase synergies and coordination among the various United Nations entities working on the Sahel. We hope the strategy will be submitted to the Council early next year. The Sahel region is negatively affected by a number of factors. Besides dealing with such problems as desertification, poverty, malnutrition and famine, in the last few years the Sahel has become a safe haven for terrorist groups, ideologically and methodologically affiliated with the international Al-Qaida network, as well as separatist groups and traffickers in drugs and human beings that are a threat to international and regional security.”

  10. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Kingdom of Morocco. I would first like to thank the delegation of the friendly State of India for its distinguished leadership of the Council in November. Today the Council is seized with the question of the situation in the Sahel, in the light of the many major and long-term security, humanitarian, food and environmental challenges facing the region.
