“To put a stop to practices that seriously threaten the security of the continent, it is important for the international community to support development programmes and projects launched within the framework of the United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel. As we await the Secretary-General's report requested in resolution 2195 (2014), we hope that the ratification and implementation of conventions, protocols and relative instruments will allow us to respond to the challenges represented by the linkage between terrorism and cross-border crime. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to the other members of the Security Council.”

“We urge those States that have the resources to do so to enhance their capacities, particularly in terms of materiel and technical and logistical assistance. That support is particularly necessary for the African States in the Sahel and the Sahara, which have to control immense areas. Most often, criminals and terrorists are heavily armed and are often in complicity with terrorist groups. Beyond enhancing interregional cooperation and coordination to counter the phenomena of terrorism and cross-border crime, including trafficking in weapons and drugs, we must emphasize the fight against poverty. Young people are easy prey for terrorist groups, which have considerable resources coming from drug trafficking and other illicit trades.”

“It lies primarily with us to enhance our respective national capacities with a View to fully ensuring our own security. We must work, with the assistance of partners, on effective operationalization to confront terrorism, cross-border crime and radicalization and violent extremism. In that regard, we would like to pay tribute to France's engagement at our side, through Operation Barkhane, and to thank the United States and the European Union for their support. Furthermore, we call upon the United Nations entities, particularly the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate, the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force and the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime, to redouble their efforts.”

“Together with the Sudan, we have established a joint force that operates joint patrols along our common border to deter criminals and bandits of all natures. Under the Lake Chad Basin Commission we have revitalized the joint multinational force to confront the terrorist threat in the subregion. Chad is also giving particular attention to regional security. The Chadian army has been active in Mali, where, at great cost, it has helped hunt down terrorist groups and narco-traffickers. Chad is very involved, with other States, in the Nouakchott Process, launched by the African Union in March 2013, with a View to strengthening cooperation in security matters and the operationalization of the African Peace and Security Architecture in the Sahel.”

“The growing threat represented by the barbarians of Boko Haram in Central and West Africa, instability in the Central African Republic and in Darfur, and Al-Shabab's asymmetric war in the Horn of Africa are all major challenges that require pooled efforts by the countries concerned and greater mobilization by the international community . In that regard, we pay tribute to the commitment of the group of countries neighbouring Libya, not only in supporting peace and reconciliation within those countries, but also for ensuring greater monitoring of the common borders in order to contain the terrorist threat. In that light, Chad is making efforts to ensure security within its borders, despite its huge territory and its limited resources.”

“We have no other choice but to strengthen and ensure respect for our legislative and regulatory measures against such crimes. We remember the Boeing 727 nicknamed "Air Cocaine," which landed in northern Mali in December 2009, carrying about six tons of the drug. The value of the cocaine transited through Africa, by sea or by air, and using the Sahel route to the Mediterranean coast, is estimated in the billions of dollars. At the national level, Chad is particularly concerned by the crises and areas of tension surrounding it. The Libyan crisis has had, and continues to have, serious consequences for the stability of a great part of the Sahel. We note with concern that the situation prevailing there has allowed terrorist organizations to establish safe havens.”

“Despite the decision of the African Union against the payment of ransoms and despite Security Council resolution 2133 (2014), we note with regret that terrorists continue to benefit, directly or indirectly, from the payment of ransoms or from political concessions by States whose citizens are taken hostage. Furthermore, drug trafficking, often linked with other forms of organized crime, including trafficking in weapons and in human beings, the illicit trafficking of natural resources, such as wildlife and coal, corruption and money laundering are all a source of growing destabilization and a brake on the development of African States. We must redouble efforts to combat corruption, particularly within services for security, the suppression of fraud, and border control.”

“From that point of View, the summit of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union held in Nairobi on 2 September, under the chairmanship of Chad, called upon the African Union Commission to consider, among other measures, establishing a special fund to combat terrorism, establishing special combat units at the subregional and regional levels, strengthening the legal framework for combating terrorism through cooperation among police forces, and establishing an African arrest warrant against those who carry out and abet terrorist acts, as well as a mechanism to help to dry up the sources of funding for terrorism. In that regard, we should point out that one of the principal sources for the financing ofterrorism in Africa is the payment of ransoms to terrorist groups.”

“The factors that contribute to that state of affairs are, among others, the weakness of States with regard to extending their authority over their entire territory: weak cooperation and coordination between States in legal and security matters; a high level of youth unemployment; and broad poverty. Groups of terrorists and criminals use those weaknesses to recruit and to grow. Faced with the scale of the threat, the actions taken by States and organizations against terrorists and criminals must be reinforced. With regard to Africa, we must seek to strengthen our cooperation and coordination through the mechanisms set up by the African Union, the regional economic communities and individual States.”

“In recent years, the terrorist and criminal acts that have been perpetrated by groups such as Boko Haram, Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, Ansar Al-Sharia, the Lord's Resistance Army and Al-Shabaab, to just mention a few, have stepped up their intensity in the Sahel, in the Maghreb and in West, Central and East Africa. Those groups have shown themselves to be the most dangerous, stepping up attacks against civilians, including women and children, and United Nations personnel, particularly peacekeepers, and their installations and infrastructure. They finance their activities through the payment of ransoms and all sorts of trafficking.”

“It highlights the importance of enhanced cooperation among States and the strengthening of capacity- building and coordination of the United Nations in the efforts to combat these two phenomena, which are mutually strengthening in many cases. We welcome the unanimous adoption of resolution 2195 (2014). Terrorism and cross-border crime are two phenomena that have a very negative impact on international peace and security, particularly in the Middle East, in Central Asia and in Africa. The African continent, unfortunately, is facing more and more these two phenomena.”

“To conclude, we pay homage to outgoing President Karzai for the efforts he deployed in endowing Afghanistan with a Constitution and in fostering the democratic transition of power, for the first time in the history of that country. We wish the current Government every success. We commend Jan Kubis, the outgoing Special Representative, for his tireless efforts and the courage that he has shown throughout his time at the helm of UNAMA. Lastly, we commend and encourage all United Nations and humanitarian agency personnel, who, despite the difficult conditions in which they are discharging their duties in Afghanistan, continue to do their very best to help the people of Afghanistan.

“We encourage neighbouring countries and the international community to step up their efforts in order to ensure greater coordination in the fight against the cross- border traffic in drugs and illicit substances. The implementation of joint and mixed patrols with neighbouring countries will allow for improved surveillance of common borders. We are concerned at the deterioration of the humanitarian situation, particularly that of internally displaced persons, and call on the international community to make greater efforts to assist them. We would also recall the call made by the Secretary-General to increase humanitarian assistance. We condemn the attacks perpetrated by armed groups against humanitarian workers and the obstacles of all kinds that are hindering the delivery and distribution of humanitarian assistance to those in need.”

“Chad welcomes the political and diplomatic efforts made regionally and internationally to build peace and security in Afghanistan, and we encourage those efforts to continue. Chad believes that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is criminal and unjustifiable, whatever the motives might be. We condemn all violence and terrorist acts perpetrated by the Taliban or linked to Al-Qaida or other armed groups. Such inhumane and cruel acts represent serious crimes against humanity, and their perpetrators must be pursued and prosecuted. We remain concerned at the tenor of the most recent report ofthe United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which shows an increase in drug trafficking, including opium and other narcotics, whose negative consequences for national security are incalculable.”

“Along those same lines, Chad takes note of the commitments entered into by President Ghani and of the call made on all political, traditional, religious and military groups, including the Taliban and Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin, to join the process of the political resolution of the crisis, so as to bring stability and prosperity to Afghanistan. Chad welcomes the signing of the cooperation and military assistance agreements between Afghanistan and the United States on the one hand and NATO on the other, aimed at filling the gaps that will emerge with the withdrawal of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), whose mandate will conclude on 31 December. We wish to pay a resounding tribute to ISAF for the role that it has played and for the tremendous sacrifices that it has made, and we hail the memory of fallen ISAF personnel.”

“We also welcome the unflagging efforts of the international community, notably UNAMA, and of Afghan civil society and traditional and religious leaders during this crucial phase of Afghanistan in its history. The current post-electoral environment should not serve to mask the Challenges that the country faces. The situation requires the ongoing support of the international community, especially in terms of security, the humanitarian situation and the combat against drug trafficking, terrorism and extremism.”
