  1. “If we are to vanquish terrorism, we need determination and multifaceted action, with the participation and support of all States and regional, subregional and international bodies. I thank the United Nations entities - in particular the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) - as well as States for their efforts and support. It dare to believe that international solidarity will allow us to overcome the difficulties facing many States, in particular with regard to capacity in terms of equipment and technology, with a View to combating terrorism effectively.”

  2. “The same applies to relevant action to be taken in addition to military operations, particularly as regards the rehabilitation of affected communities and areas, the return of refugees and displaced persons, quick impact projects and peacebuilding initiatives. Consequently, while hailing the invaluable support in terms of equipment and expertise provided by our partners, particularly France and the United States of America, we call on all bilateral and multilateral partners to continue to provide material and financial support to affected countries, including in the areas of training, equipment and technology. In conclusion, I should like to reiterate my country's commitment to continuing its counter- terrorism efforts.”

  3. “Despite Chad's limited resources and significant financial challenges caused by falling oil prices, Chad has decided to pursue its commitment against Boko Haram so long as that group continues to operate. At the same time, while welcoming the efforts of the Economic Community of Central African States to mobilize 100 billion Central African Francs - equivalent to $80 million - to assist Chad and Cameroon, it should be noted that the costs of the participation of the 5,000 Chadian soldiers with all the necessary materiel and equipment, including air support, far outstrip the financial capacity of the countries concerned.”

  4. “Since January, Chad has been taking military action against the Boko Haram terrorist group, especially in the north-east ofNigeria. Chad's intervention alongside forces from Cameroon, the Niger and Nigeria made it possible to retake ll localities under Boko Haram control, including Fotocol, Gamboru, Dikwa, Malam Fatori and Damasak. It also helped to significantly undermine the disruptive capabilities of those terrorist groups, which unfortunately continue to wage asymmetrical warfare. On 20 May, in line with the Constitution, the National Assembly of Chad voted to extend the mandate of our defence and security forces deployed in the three aforementioned countries.”

  5. “Beyond its national borders, Chad continues to intervene militarily in several theatres, particularly in Mali and some neighbouring countries, in order to prevent various terrorist groups associated with Al-Qaida or the Islamic State from establishing themselves and creating sanctuaries in the Sahel. In January 2013, Chad intervened in Mali with more than 2,000 men in an effort to halt the worrying advance of several terrorist groups towards the southern part of the country. That intervention facilitated the neutralization of notorious terrorists on the sanctions list maintained by the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011), and enabled the arrest of a large number of terrorists, including foreign fighters.”

  6. “We have also taken measures designed to strengthen our defence and security forces' presence on the Libyan border, where the terrorist threat, including that posed by foreign fighters, is growing. The fact is that the fall of the Muammar Al-Qadhafi regime, in 2011, has created a situation of unprecedented chaos and institutional instability in Libya. The southern part of the country, which borders on Chad, is a genuine no-man's-land, in the grip of every brand of terrorist and criminal group, enabling the conduct of all kinds of illegal activities, including trafficking in arms, drugs and human beings, and representing a serious threat to peace in the subregion.”

  7. “Community and religious leaders are taking part in awareness-raising campaigns promoting a culture of peace, peaceful co-existence and inter-religious dialogue. We have decreed 21 November to be a day of peace celebrated annually by every religion and confession. We are currently drafting other administrative and legislative measures related to the implementation of resolution 2178 (2014) in order to further strengthen ways of preventing and combating terrorism in general and the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters in particular. In 2006, we established the Chadian-Sudanesejoint forces, which have shown themselves to be effective in monitoring and controlling Chad's more than 1,300 kilometre-long eastern border with the Sudan.”

  8. “At the national level, we have taken steps designed to secure our borders and strengthen controls within the country, while emphasizing prevention by raising awareness of the dangers that violent extremism and terrorism present. Despite Chad's enormous size and modest means, we have strengthened our controls on the movement of people and goods in various key areas in our territory. Our border controls and systematic collection of all information relating to religious extremism have spared our country the effects of violent extremism and enabled us to suppress the few incidents that have occurred. Similarly, we have taken steps to break up various associations that have shown extremist tendencies and to suspend the dealings of religious groups of that nature.”

  9. “We are deeply concerned by the threat's expansion to various neighbours of Chad, especially Libya. In that regard, the report (S/2015/358, annex) of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) is edifying. The adoption in September of resolution 2178 (2014) on the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters embodies the international community's commitment and determination to conduct a merciless campaign against the problem. In that regard, Chad continues to affirm, at both the national and regional levels, its determination to prevent and combat the scourge of terrorism in all its forms.”

  10. “Mr. Hamid (Chad) (spoke in French): I would like to congratulate Lithuania on its presidency of the Council this month and to thank you, Mr. President, for the initiative taken to hold today's meeting on the follow-up to the implementation of resolution 2178 (2014) on foreign terrorist fighters. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his briefing, and the Chairs of the Committee established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning Counter-Terrorism, as well as the Secretary General of INTERPOL, for their statements. The threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters in areas of conflict, particularly Iraq and Syria, has worsened during the past few years.”
