  1. “Finally, the reconstruction of Somalia must be at the top of the international community's agenda. For our part, at the Arab regional level, the League of Arab States, in coordination with the African Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the United Nations, will this year convene a conference on the reconstruction of Somalia. At that conference, the Somali Government will present its development plans and the necessary feasibility studies. The Arab States and Arab investment funds will participate in the conference; we hope indeed that everybody will participate.”

  2. “and build upon it and authorize the United Nations to take over responsibility for peacekeeping in Somalia at an early stage. Fifthly, I reaffirm the organic link between piracy, on the one hand, and the Somali question in general, on the other. This issue forces us to seriously consider the best and most effective way to support efforts to establish peace and stability in Somalia, especially after Somali parties succeeded in the implementation of the Djibouti agreement. We, the international community, must show adequate support for them and protect the achievements that have been made towards peace in Somalia. We must also prevent any regression in efforts towards a settlement; that could have negative effects in the political and security spheres which would be very grave indeed if, God forbid, they should take place.”

  3. “We strongly condemn the recent attacks against AMISOM's personnel, which have led to the deaths of 12 peacekeepers from Burundi and have wounded 17 other peacekeepers, not to mention the numerous Somali civilian casualties. We highly commend the AMISOM. forces, who work under very difficult conditions in Somalia, and we call on all parties to offer support to those who work on behalf of us all, the international community, to establish peace and stability in the country. Fourthly, we join the request of the African Union to deploy a United Nations peacebuilding force in Somalia. The Security Council must respond to the strong, shared desire of the Government of Somalia, the AU and the Arab League for continued support to AMISOM.”

Secondly, we welcome, support and reaffirm the positive direction that the Somali national unity Government has taken in terms of actively seeking national reconciliation with all factions of Somali society, domestically and abroad. We urge all Somali factions to renounce violence and reconsider their positions and join the march towards Somali national reconciliation. Thirdly, we also welcome the efforts of and the role played by the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and we call for offering it the urgent logistic and financial support it needs so that the African Union (AU) can increase the size of the Mission to the authorized size, namely, 8,000 troops.”

  5. “Therefore, we reaffirm the need urgently to offer all forms of financial and logistic support to the Somali Government so that it can establish effective State institutions and implement its programmes for reconciliation, security and stability and provide basic services for the Somali people. Despite the fact that the Arab League is neither a donor nor a financial organization, it responded to the call by the African Union Peace and Security Council and transferred last week $1 million to the Somali Government's account so that it could start establishing the Joint Security Forces as stipulated in the Djibouti agreement - to be comprised of 10,000 troops - for the purposes of maintaining law and order and to guarantee the sustainability of the current Somali institutions.”

We are facing a truly positive development that must be sustained with the necessary capacity to implement all of these changes.”

  7. “I would like to thank the Foreign Minister of Somalia, Mr. Omaar, and Mr. Ould Abdallah and Mr. Lamamra for the detailed statements that they have given. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. President, and members of the Security Council, for giving me this opportunity to address the Council on the situation in Somalia. This statement comes at a critical and promising juncture in the peace process that has been ably led by Mr. Ahmedou Ould Abdallah, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia, with the active participation of the African Union and the League of Arab States and the clear support of the international community. In this context, allow me to briefly make the following observations.”

We call upon all factions, stakeholders and segments of Somalia's population to work in good faith and cooperate positively with the President-elect and the upcoming Government so as to establish peace, security and prosperity and help regain the country's status in the international community. We call upon all Somali factions to behave responsibly, and to put the interests of their country first. We warn that, in the absence of commitment, the agreements will not be implemented. Finally, I would like to thank all the members of the Council for their invaluable contributions.”

  9. “However, that will require full and strong financial, technical and logistical support for the African Union's efforts from the international community. The humanitarian situation in Darfur makes it incumbent upon all of us to provide the necessary support. The League of Arab States will spare no effort to provide all forms of support to the African Union, in particular in the humanitarian field. We would also like to convey our readiness to take part, through our member States and the various Arab financial and investment funds, in the reconstruction of what has been destroyed in Darfur. In conclusion, I must also welcome the positive developments in the national reconciliation process in Somalia, in particular the establishment of a transitional Parliament, the election of Mr.”

  10. “We are also part of the joint mechanisms between the Sudanese Government and the United Nations that are carrying out the necessary assessment of the security and humanitarian situation in Darfur. Sixthly, addressing the crisis in Darfur requires full compliance on the part of all parties with the ceasefire signed in N'Djamena last April, as well as with the two protocols on security and humanitarian issues signed recently at Abuja, in order to produce the necessary positive effects that will lead to an improvement in the humanitarian and security situation in Darfur. Dealing with that crisis also requires positive cooperation with the African Union mission in order to conclude the necessary agreements in the upcoming negotiations, which seek to pave the way to a final and comprehensive settlement of the issue.”

  11. “However, last August we discussed the situation in Darfur at the ministerial level against the backdrop of the report prepared by a fact-finding mission of the League of Arab States to Darfur and eastern Chad. The Chairman of the Commission of the African Union and the Secretary-General's Special Representative for the Sudan, Mr. Jan Pronk, and the Foreign Minister of Nigeria, acting as the representative of President Obasanjo in his capacity as the Chairman of the African Union, all participated in the ceasefire monitoring group and in the protection forces sent to Darfur. In that context, we have also participated actively in mediation efforts between the Government of the Sudan, the SPLM. and the Sudan Justice and Equality Movement. That led to this month's signing of the two protocols on security and humanitarian issues.”

  12. “Ending the long-standing conflict in southern Sudan is now more of a concrete reality than ever before, especially after today's signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Government of the Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM). We call upon the parties to sign a comprehensive peace agreement by the end of this year. We also reaffirm our readiness to provide the necessary support through our agencies to guarantee the full implementation of the expected agreement. Fifthly, the time allotted to me here does not make it possible to enumerate the various political and humanitarian efforts being undertaken by the League of Arab States with regard to the crisis in Darfur.”

  13. “Thirdly, in order to promote peace, reconstruction and development efforts in all parts of the Sudan, the Arab Summit meeting held last May in Tunisia called upon Arab States and Arab financing funds to address the heavy debt burden of the Sudan. That burden has now reached over $65 billion, 40 per cent of which is owed to Arab countries and funds. Fourthly, the League of Arab States is working through one of its specialized agencies, the Inter-Arab Investment Guarantee Corporation, to finance an investment project guarantee fund in southern Sudan to expedite Arab efforts to develop that part of the country and to provide the necessary guarantees for secure investment.”

  14. “Secondly, we have concentrated our efforts on the development of southern Sudan. Those efforts have led to significant pledges of financial support by member States - Arab funds that are awaiting the signing of the final comprehensive peace agreement. It gives me great pleasure to inform the Council that the monetary value of development projects now under way in southern Sudan amount to over $200 million. These projects are focusing on rebuilding the infrastructure, particularly the road network connecting the north and the south, as well as on skill-development programmes in southern Sudan, in cooperation with Arab civil society organizations.”

The Secretary General of the League of Arab States participated in the signing last June of the Nairobi peace declaration. He also visited the city of Rumbek in southern Sudan last year as a guest of the SPLM, and reaffirmed the commitment of the League and its member States to the peace process, as well as its determination, together with that of its institutions, to actively participate in developing southern Sudan, particularly the war-affected areas, in order to make Sudanese unity an attractive, voluntary option.”

  16. “It gives me great pleasure to make a statement on behalf of Mr. Amre Moussa, Secretary General of the League of Arab States, who is unable to participate in this important and historic meeting. Given the great importance of this issue to our member States and to Arab security, the League of Arab States is resolved to promote peace and national reconciliation in the Sudan. This issue has long been on the agenda of the League, which is actively working to find a comprehensive peaceful solution to the situation in the Sudan. With regard to the issue of the southern Sudan, following the signing of the Machakos Protocol in July 2002 - which was welcomed by the League of Arab States at the time - the League has been focusing on a number of areas.”
