  1. “The positive developments in Abuja and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation on the ground demand the strengthening of AMIS in the shortest possible time. We welcome the decision of the Government of the Sudan to allow the United Nations assessment mission to proceed to Darfur. Finally, we thank the delegation of the United States for having prepared the draft resolution. We fully support it.”

  2. “It is unfortunate that that there has been a significant decrease in funding for humanitarian assistance in Darfur. The prospect of daily food rations being cut in half is indeed worrying. We hope that the decrease was due to logistical, rather than resource, constraints. Nonetheless, we appeal to the donor community to provide additional assistance to the refugees and displaced persons while they wait for repatriation following the peace agreement. Let me conclude by recognizing the commendable job done by the African peace mission - the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) - in Darfur. We hope that the Abuja peace agreement for Darfur will pave the way for the transfer of AMIS to a United Nations operation. What seems to be critical at this juncture is the strengthening of AMIS.”

  3. “It is unfortunate that while we are celebrating some positive developments in Abuja, the humanitarian situation in Darfur continues to deteriorate. We are particularly disturbed about the continued attacks against civilians and humanitarian operations. We need to adopt a comprehensive approach that prevents further atrocities and suffering in Darfur and increases humanitarian efforts. We are pleased with the ongoing visit by Mr. Jan Egeland, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, to the Sudan, in particular Darfur. We consider the visit to be one of the first tangible outcomes of the Abuja peace agreement on Darfur. At the same time, we believe that the visit will help in assessing the humanitarian situation on the ground, including with regard to access, the security situation in the camps and the level of assistance.”

  4. “We therefore strongly urge the remaining two groups to join ranks with the other parties in accepting the peace agreement. As far as we are concerned, the peace agreement has all the significant ingredients that can help restore peace in Darfur. These include the call for a ceasefire, disarmament of the militias, the integration of the rebel fighters into the national armed forces and a protection force for civilians in the Darfur-Darfur dialogue. The Security Council and the international community at large must give full support to the parties and the African Union with a view to ensuring that the signed peace agreement is fully implemented. At the same time, we call upon all parties not to do anything that will undermine the implementation of the peace agreement.”

  5. “We, equally, recognize and appreciate the positive role played by the African leaders - particularly President Olusegun Obasanjo, President Denis Sassou Nguesso and President Alpha Omar Konare - the League of Arab States, the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom in winning the support of the parties that signed the draft peace agreement. The arduously negotiated Abuja peace agreement offers a balanced and forward-looking framework for peace in Darfur. We recognize that the peace agreement is not totally inclusive, as not all the parties are signatory to it. Nonetheless, we strongly believe that the agreement is an important step on the path towards lasting peace in the Sudan in general and in Darfur in particular.”

  6. “The two-year intensive peace negotiations under African Union leadership and with the unwavering support of the Security Council were crowned with the signing of a peace agreement last Friday in Abuja. The signing of the peace agreement marks a major breakthrough in the efforts to end the Darfur conflict. We congratulate the Government of the Sudan and the leadership of the largest faction of the Sudanese Liberation Movement on signing the peace agreement. We wish to thank Mr. Salim Ahmed Salim and his mediating team for successfully guiding the parties to this historic stage.”

  7. “Let me at the outset, Sir, congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of May. During our presidency, in January, we benefited a great deal from your support and that of the other members of the Council. We have no doubt that under your able leadership the Council will be able to conduct its work smoothly. In that regard, I want to assure you of the support and cooperation of the delegation of the United Republic of Tanzania. I should also like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the United States initiative to convene this timely meeting on Darfur. We are meeting at a very critical moment as far as the conflict in Darfur is concerned.”
