  1. “In conclusion, I would like to pay tribute to the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office in the Central African Republic for all its tireless efforts to support the Government in the reconciliation and recovery process in my country.”

  2. “Accordingly, the Under- Secretary-General also wants humanitarian actors to be protected, with the result that a military contingent's presence remains necessary. I would ask the Security Council therefore to support recommendations on maintaining a military presence in north-eastern Central African Republic. The return to calm, which we sought with all our heart, should not lessen our vigilance with respect to an unwanted spillover of conflict from elsewhere. We must also maintain a stable and safe environment for all United Nations personnel working in the region. To that end, a military presence is vital.”

  3. “Our achievements, such as the calm in north- eastern Central African Republic, thanks to the presence of EUFOR, must be preserved and consolidated. Moreover, a country is rebuilt in stages, especially when its administrative structures have been in decline for so long. Given the fragility of our country in terms of security and humanitarian, economic and social affairs, and the fact that the security sector is only in the early stages of reform, I would reiterate, on behalf of my Government, our hope for an ongoing presence of a military contingent under the banner of the United Nations in the north-eastern part of the country, as President Bozize said when the Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations visited the region on 1 and 2 September. Such a presence is also desired by humanitarian agencies.”

  4. “It is coming back slowly but surely thanks to the international community. As a result, we are now in a post-conflict period. Since last 12 June, the Central African Republic was added to the agenda of the Peacebuilding Commission, which was extremely encouraging for us. The number of hotbeds of tension has considerably decreased and significant progress in dialogue and in reconciliation has been made. Public finances have been straightened out security sector reform is in the process of being developed, and a post-conflict programme has been initiated. The State has set its main priorities with regard to security sector reform, good governance, the rule of law, the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of ex-combatants, and projected development plans.”

  5. “Among those, the analysis of data, the relationships among protagonists, the difficult geographical conditions for workers on the ground, the doctrine founded on the presence of outside forces, the transitional period between the end of the EUFOR mandate and the takeover by a strengthened MINURCAT are issues that characterize and require serious consideration of what is happening on the ground. The report indicates, among other things, that, with respect to the Central African Republic, the Security Council should take a stand on the recommendations to be made by the Secretariat on the consequences of a post-EUFOR presence. In that respect, I would like to make a few comments. As the Council knows, the Central African Republic is emerging from a recurring conflict that has lasted for more than a decade.”

  6. “Victor da Silva Angelo, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of MINURCAT, has just given us an excellent briefing replete with facts that should guide the Council in its deliberations. The vision of a stable and secure area does credit to the Mission. MINURCAT has potential that, if used well in eastern Chad and the north-eastern Central African Republic, could lead to peace and stability there. My delegation gladly accepts the report of the Secretary-General before us today and endorses the recommendations that figure in it.”

  7. “Mr. Kombo Yaya (Central African Republic) (spoke in French): The delegation of the Central African Republic which I am leading is pleased to see the Security Council, under the presidency of Burkina Faso, consider the Secretary-General's report on the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT) (S/2008/601). My delegation would like to thank you, Sir, and Council members for having been kind enough to give us this opportunity to take the floor on a subject of such concern for our country, namely, the presence of the European Union-led military force in Chad and the Central African Republic (EUFOR) in the north-eastern part of our country. Mr.”

  8. “I should like to take this opportunity to welcome the joint efforts made by the African Union through the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office in the Central African Republic, including the efforts of the Special Envoy of the Chairman of the African Union, in order to bring about reconciliation in Central Africa, including the work done to prepare for the inclusive dialogue, which came to an end on 31 March and which will open up the way for the dialogue to take place very soon. In conclusion, we fully support the draft resolution put forward by your country, Madam President, which opens up new horizons for our continent.”

  9. “I should like to take this opportunity, on behalf of my President, to commend Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his support for the establishment of a regional office for the Great Lakes region of Central Africa. In the light of the new situation, enhancing the capacity of the African Union also continues to be a priority. As you are aware, Madam President, the Central African Republic is a post-conflict country that is trying to emerge from two decades of ongoing crisis. Any effort aimed at re-establishing and strengthening peace should take into account the economic situation in the country, because extreme poverty, hunger and the precarious state of our people's health constitute fertile ground for instability.”

  10. “I need not refer to them in detail, as most of those who have spoken before me have eloquently cited numerous examples of the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union. However, I would like to emphasize in particular the need to strengthen the capacity of subregional organizations with conflict settlement mechanisms, such as the Council for Peace and Security in Central Africa. Such bodies work at the grass-roots level, play a basic and crucial role in the settlement of conflicts and should rely on the African Union only as a last resort. We therefore welcome the proposal of the Secretary-General for the establishment of a joint United Nations-African Union group of experts to consider in detail how to support the peacekeeping operations of subregional organizations, especially in terms of funding.”

  11. “The African architecture in the area of conflict prevention, management and resolution is the outcome of the commitment of our heads of State or Government, first within the former Organization of African Unity and then within today's African Union (AU), to ensure that peace and security - which are, moreover, inseparable - are the top priority, because without peace there can be no economic and social development. The relevant provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and of the Constitutive Act of the African Union emphasize that point quite clearly. We welcome the active cooperation between our two organizations in the area of peacekeeping. There are many examples in that regard.”

  12. “Mr. Kombo Yaya (Central African Republic) (spoke in French): Permit me to convey to you, Madam President, the regrets of His Excellency Mr. Francois Bozize, President of the Republic and Head of State, who, because of other commitments, could not personally take part in this meeting on cooperation between the United Nations Security Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council. He remains convinced that, under your country's presidency, the Security Council will further strengthen its cooperation with the African Union Peace and Security Council.”
