“We wish to reiterate that call for dialogue, which is crucial for bringing the parties closer together and the only way that can lead to the establishment of two sovereign and independent States, Palestine and Israel, coexisting side by side in peace and security, as desired by the international community. Very fortunately, we are seeing some encouraging signs. Annapolis and many other previous agreements charted the way for that cohabitation. It is important now to demonstrate the political will to transform wishes into reality. Other promising signs include the ongoing regular contacts within the framework of the Annapolis process, a relative calm observed following the truce secured by Egypt, and the release of Palestinian prisoners. However, those very encouraging signs are not enough to restore trust.”

I would also like to thank all other speakers who preceded me for their statements. The position of my country is very clear. Burkina Faso has always held that negotiations should hold sway over the military option in order to resolve a conflict.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Burkina Faso. I should like to thank Mr. Javier Solana for having briefed the Security Council on the activities of the European Union military operation in Chad and the Central African Republic. The information that he provided is all the more important and useful because the mandate of the European Union-led peacekeeping force (EUFOR) is coming to an end on 15 March 2009. In that regard, the Council must be proactive and find the means to capitalize on EUFOR's accomplishments at a time when the political and security situation remains worrisome in Chad, the Central African Republic and the entire subregion.”
