41 families forced to leave the country at Murongo village

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A family of 41 family members from Murongo Village in Murongo Ward, Kyerwa district, Kagera Region was rounded up by immigration officers together with local security officer (MUGAMBO) at 3.00 a.m and forced them to leave the country, alleging them to be living in the country illegally. The head of this family is called Erika, 88 years old.<br /><br />This family was in the morning of 21.1.2014 evicted and damped in the NO MANS LAND area, on the bridge separating Tanzania and Uganda. The family has since been forced to camp on the bridge succumbing to rains, sun, mosquitoes, cold and worse the dangers of falling into the Kagera river beneath the bridge and to being devoured by a crocodile that is feared living in the nearby waters of the Kagera River below the bridge.<br /><br />Attempt to secure their freedom is hitting a dead rock following a somewhat coordinated syndicate to evict this family by the local authorities over a revenue sharing issues over income accruing from rental of a land space onto which Vodacom and airtel have erected their telecom towers.<br /><br />The story behind is that, in the recent past, a wrangle arose between Mzee Erika who owns a piece of land that was identified as a suitable spot for the erection of the telecom towers by Vodacom. The Village chairman became envious on learning that Mzee Erika was promised a regular monthly income for rental of his land for the mast. The wrangle was resolved in a regional court at Bukoba when Mr. Erika was declared rightful owner of the land and therefore legal beneficiary of the rent from Vodacom.<br /><br />Later on airtel also came to invest in the area and Mzee Erika land was again seen as the best spot for the airtel telcom tower. This made the Village chairman more envious. It is told by the villages that were interviewed that, the village chairman decided to connive with other authorities including the immigration and other officers and blacklisted Mzee E\rika as a Ugandan living illegally in Tanzania. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Illegal persons have no right to own property (land in Tanzania) and so with this situation, the village chairman working together with the immigration officers descended on this family and branded them illegal immigrants and so inhumanly rounded them at 3.00 a.m and have since been dumped at the bridge of Murongo.<br /><br /> Radio FADECO learnt of the ordeal on 25.1.2014 following a tip off by our news correspondent in the area. The report mentioned the affected family was starving and in danger since having been damped at the bridge since 21.1.2014.<br /><br />A team of FADECO RADIO Staff went to the scene arriving there at 4.00 a.m on 25.1.2014 to follow up the story. On arriving at Murongo border, the family was found lying on the bridge site covered in ramshackled clothes since there were not allowed to carry any belongings. The affected include 23 males and 18 females. There are 3 primary school going children who since have been denied to go to school, 4 infants below the age of 5 and 3 babies stills suckling.<br /><br />FINDINGS:<br /><br />The head of the family is called  Mzee Elika Tibahulira , 88 years old and has been living in the area since he was born and his wife is called  Mole Tibahulira aged 58. They have their children and grandchildren together making a total of 41 persons.<br /><br /> As journalists, we have tried to make the preliminary investigation into the matter:<br /><br />Immigration officers at Murongo border allege these are illegal immigrants, living in Tanzania since that time even before independence!! Over the revenue sharing issue they say, they are aware of it/ They say this mzee has no right to own that land.<br /><br />Asked why the decided to dump these people in no-man land, they say it is up to them to find their way to where they came from.<br /><br />FADECO RADIO has consulted the different government officers with no solution. The regional commissioner orderd that these people be returned to Tanzania (removed from the bridge) and taken to police and later to court which would determine their citizen staus. The district Commissioner on his part said that these people have to find their way and never to return to their homes.<br /><br />On 26.1.2014 in the morning hours, on orders from the Regional Commissioner, the 41 people were removed by the immigration officers and taken to a nearby police post at Murongo and left there, on word that they would later be taken to court to answer charges.<br /><br />By 6.00 P.M these people were still at the police station without any word from the immigration officers. Radio fadeco visited them and found they were given shelter at the police station and said, they were awaiting to be taken to court.<br /><br />On 27.1.2014 at 5.00 p.m after 24 hours, without charges being opened against them, they were forced to go back to the immigration office by the immigration officers. On reaching the office, they were forced to leave the country, go back to the bridge they have been living since eviction on 21.1.2014. <br /><br />Reports coming from witnesses at the border has told that, these people refused and as a reaction to this, they have bees subjected to thorough beating. Mzee Erika is reported in very critical condition following the beating (and several days of starvation and age). Small children some of whom are very sick and their mothers have been severely beaten up. And their situation is at stake.<br /><br />FADECO RADIO has communicated with the Regional Commissioner who has promised to take up the matter and ensure their safety and that where possible these people be brought to court of law.</span></div>

Euronews to launch Africanews, 1st Pan-African multilingual news channel, in Congo Brazzaville

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Euronews will bring to Africa its unique know-how as a multi-lingual and multi-cultural news channel, broadcasting around the clock.<br /><br />LYON, France, January 27, 2014/ -- In 18 months time, </span><a href="http://www.euronews.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Euronews</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">  will have a sister channel in Africa. In partnership with the national television channel of the Republic of the Congo, Euronews will bring to Africa its unique know-how as a multi-lingual and multi-cultural news channel, broadcasting around the clock. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Starting with English and French, and then adding other languages widely-spoken on the continent, Africanews aims to become the first Pan-African rolling news channel. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The headquarters will be in Brazzaville and regional offices will be set up across the continent. Africanews will adhere to the same editorial charter as Euronews, guaranteeing its independence. The two networks will share their news, creating a synergy that will give Africa its rightful place in the world of news and give the world the latest news from the continent.<br /><br />Michael Peters, CEO of Euronews S.A., and Jean Obambi, Managing Director of Télé Congo, signed on Saturday 25 January in Congo Brazzaville a cooperation agreement for the launch of a Pan-African news channel to be known as Africanews. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Under the auspices of the President of the Republic of the Congo, Mr. Denis Sassou Nguesso, they formalised the partnership that will lead to the launch in the summer of 2015 of a bilingual news channel in French and English, to be followed by other major languages of the continent (Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, etc.). The headquarters will be in Brazzaville and regional offices will be set up across the continent.<br /><br />Euronews, the top news channel in Europe, has developed a unique know-how in broadcasting. The channel produces 13 different language versions, 24/7. Its programmes are created by a newsroom of more than 400 journalists of 30 nationalities, and reach 400 million households in 155 countries.<br /><br /><strong>At the signing of the agreement for Africanews, Michael Peters stated</strong>:<br /><br />"Twenty 20 years after the launch of Euronews, we are breaking new ground in the world of news. Since 1993, Euronews has covered global news from a European perspective, speaking to viewers in their language. The company's multinational shareholder base gives the channel the independence and the means to inform viewers without promoting any particular viewpoint. Its global success in terms of viewer numbers is proof of the channel's professionalism and its ability to integrate diversity.<br /><br />Euronews has the experience, the reputation and the resources necessary to convey this model which respects the values and value of different cultures. It is precisely this model of tolerance in a world of diversity that we hope to share with Africa, via Africanews, the first independent and multilingual news channel on the continent.<br /><br />Africanews is different from existing channels because it aims to give Africa its rightful place in the world of news and to give the world the latest news from the continent which is itself a news market, in the same way and at the same level as other regions of the world.<br /><br />Our strategic and highly ambitious project will not be a mere African "window" made by Euronews, as most international news channels do, but rather a full-fledged Pan-African network, with editorial choices made by Africans for an African audience.<br /><br />To develop this project, we were lucky to have the help of Stephen Smith, a recognized specialist on Africa (see below: Stephen Smith and Africanews). Stephen, former Africa Editor for two French daily newspapers Libération then Le Monde, is providing advice and recommendations for the editorial and strategic aspects of Africanews.<br /> <br />The public television channel Télé Congo decided to join us in this adventure. Our teams will now begin the preliminary studies and organisational work to be ready to launch Africanews in 2015.<br /><br />We take great pride in announcing this emblematic cooperation project and we are eager to launch this new player on the world media scene," he added.<br /><br /><strong>What will Africanews be like</strong>?<br /><br />Africanews will produce news content focused on Pan-African news, for its television channel and related products, both linear and non linear (see below: Africanews in other media formats).<br /><br />Africanews will have a team of 40 professional journalists and technicians based in Brazzaville, covering sub-Saharan news thanks to its regional offices and a vast pool of correspondents around the continent.<br /><br />As soon as the channel begins broadcasting, flagship programmes and special reports will help give Africanews its truly African identity.<br /><br />Africanews will freely choose, use and adapt the international news content produced by Euronews to create programmes for its own viewers. In the same way, Euronews will be able to pick up productions from its sister channel in Africa to round out the programmes it broadcasts around the world. Thanks to this synergy, Africa will benefit from wider international exposure as it becomes a key feature in the Euronews editorial line-up.<br /><br />In keeping with the Euronews model, Africanews will be available from the start in both French and English. The goal is to then expand to include the other widely-spoken languages in Africa (Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, etc.), making it accessible to the largest number of African viewers.<br /><br />The news teams at Africanews and at Euronews in Europe will adhere to the same editorial charter. <br /><br />For all of its news teams, Euronews is the absolute guarantor of editorial independence and is responsible for the hiring of journalists; it continually monitors full compliance with the editorial charter.<br /><br /><strong>Will Africanews be available in other media formats?</strong><br />The content of Africanews will benefit from the extensive know-how of Euronews, making it as widely and easily accessible as possible for all types of users.<br /><br />Starting with linear formats, offering TV broadcasts 24/7, live streaming of the channel on the internet, and then with live mobile applications and perhaps digital radio programmes.<br /><br />The non-linear formats will start right away with the <a href="http://www.africanews.com/">website</a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">and then gradually move into specific mobile applications, following the latest trends in media consumption on the continent.<br /><br />For example, Euronews, at the cutting edge of mobile applications, has been selected by Nokia to be included in its new operating system, S40, soon to be released in Africa, one of the most dynamic markets for mobile phones.<br /><br />Africanews will be accessible to a large number of people on the continent thanks to rebroadcasts by local partners and operators, with the support and expertise of Euronews' international teams.<br /><br /><strong>What is the business model for Africanews?</strong><br />Africanews will be based on a model financed by advertising. It will then be able to develop by adding new public and private partners, in particular for the set-up of its regional offices around Africa and for adding new languages.<br /><br />Advertising opportunities on Africanews will enable African and international advertisers to reach the African audience via a complete communication package: advertisements spread across the 24-hour schedule will cover all time zones and all formats including Africanews.com and then mobile applications, along with opportunities for sponsorship of TV and key online programmes (business, special reports, weather...) or linked to business and cultural events covered by the Africanews team of journalists.<br /><br /><strong>Stephen Smith and the Africanews project</strong><br />Recognised around the world for his expertise in African affairs, Stephen Smith supported Euronews from the very beginning of this ground-breaking project to develop an African media network. He worked with the Euronews management team in all phases of building the project. His advice and recommendations range from editorial aspects to strategy for Africanews. In close coordination with the Euronews teams, Stephen Smith will participate in creating the channel and ensuring its future development.<br /><br />Stephen Smith, an American journalist, is most noted for his work as Africa Editor for Libération (1988-2000) and then for Le Monde (2000-2005), having earlier served as African correspondent for Reuters and RFI. He has written some 15 books and academic publications on the subject of Africa and, since 2007, has taught African Studies at Duke University in the United States.<br /><br />Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Euronews S.A.</span></div>

NEXIM Bank Rated as Best Performing African Development Finance Institution (DFI)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Association of African Development Finance Institutions (AADFI) has rated the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) as ‘Best Performing African DFI’<br /></span><a href="http://neximbank.com.ng/"><span style="font-size: large;">The Association</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> of African Development Finance Institutions (AADFI) has rated the Nigerian Export-Import Bank – NEXIM  as ‘Best Performing African DFI.’ The decision was an outcome of  the ‘2013 Annual AADFI CEOs Forum of African Development Banks and Finance Institutions’ on the theme "Strengthening African DFIs with Appropriate Standards and Guidelines: 3rd Peer Review & Rating of African DFIs" held at the Serena Beach Hotel & Spa, Mombasa Republic of Kenya from 13-15 November, 2013. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Forum marked the conduct of the 3rd Peer Review of DFIs with the AADFI Prudential Standards, Guidelines and Rating System (PSGRS).<br /><br />In the letter conveying the message to NEXIM Bank, titled “CONGRATULATION ON YOUR RATING AS BEST PERFORMING AFRICAN DFI”, Mr. J.A. Amihere, the Secretary General of AADFI, stated, “In the light of your institution’s rating as ‘Best Performing DFI”, we are pleased, on behalf of the Chairman of the Association, to extend our warm congratulations to your Board of Directors and Management Team on this record performance, and urge you not to relent in your effort at entrenching best practices in the operations of your institution as you continue to sustain your development financing mandate.”<br /> <br />According to AADFI, the Peer Review Exercise with the AADFI PSGRS was not a competition but an approach to evaluate DFIs in the various areas of governance, finance and operation in order to identify areas of weaknesses for self-improvement and strengths for consolidation.<br /><br />Suffice to state that considering NEXIM Bank was in the ‘Negative rating’ for a long time before the Roberts Orya-led Management took office in August 2009, it is instructive to note that it quickly moved to ‘B’ rating in 2012, then progressed to ‘Best Performing African DFI’ in 2013.<br /><br />The state of affairs of NEXIM at the time Mr. Roberts Orya took charge of the then newly-constituted Executive Management on August 20, 2009 was such that the financial and operational performance of the Bank had deteriorated to a punching level, in addition to a myriad of other problems. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These extended to an alarming decline in the quality of risk assets as the Bank’s total loan portfolio of N14.6 Billion was non-performing by 72%. Within that category, N10.03 Billion or 69.05% was classified as completely lost resulting in a decline in the bank’s income.<br /><br />The net effect was a depletion of the Bank’s shareholders funds as a result of accumulated losses, significant decrease in income and tolerance of excessive and escalating overheads. Coupled with these were the issues of non-adherence to corporate governance tenets, non-existent risk management framework, lack of strategic focus and digression from core mandate, lack of visibility of the Bank, etc.<br /><br />In light of the above, the Executive Team set to reverse the problems and ensure NEXIM Bank was able to contribute significantly to the economic development of Nigeria. Under the leadership of its former Board Chairman, Dr. Kingsley C. Moghalu, the Management received approval in 2010 to reposition the Bank to effectively deliver on its statutory mandate and become an ‘effective enabler of Nigeria’ economic transformation. Accordingly, a Corporate Transformation exercise was initiated centering on the key perspectives of Strategy, Risk Management and Corporate Governance, Financial Performance, Operations, Organization and People, with assistance from KPMG Professional Services.<br /><br />The outcome of the exercise was the Corporate Transformation Project (Project Spring) which led to the re-definition of the Bank’s Mission, Vision and Strategic Objectives targeting four sectors, namely, Manufacturing, Agro-processing, Solid Minerals & Services, which have high employment and foreign exchange earning potentials in the non-oil sector of the Nigerian economy. This has become the MASS Agenda of the NEXIM Bank.<br /><br />Subsequently, the Management set out clear transformation implementation activities which included a 5-Year Strategic Plan marshalling out the following areas –<br /> <br />i.          clearly defined market penetration action plans with responsibilities and timelines;<br />ii.        robust corporate governance and risk management architecture/frameworks in line with international best practice;<br />iii.       brand strategy and brand engagement strategy to improve visibility and project the Bank’s image;<br />iv.        clearly defined roles and responsibilities;<br />v.         organization-wide key performance indices (KPIs) and scorecard to ensure effective monitoring of the Bank’s operations and performance by its staff and shareholders;<br />vi.        redesigned and roll out of policies, processes and procedures with documented business functional requirements for the redesigned process to ensure efficiency;<br />vii.      IT transformation project which will support the re-designed business processes  with minimal approval levels, overlaps, redundancies as well as adequate controls; etc.<br /><br />The Managing Director of NEXIM Bank, Mr. Roberts U. Orya sees the ‘A’ rating by AADFI as a well-deserved reward for all the hard work, painstaking commitment and dedication that his executive management team and staff have put into rebuilding an otherwise moribund institution over the past four years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">According to him, “The current rating of NEXIM as ‘Best Performing African DFI’ from a negative rating in 2011 by AADFI is a clear testimony that the Corporate Transformation initiative we embarked upon since August 2009 has largely succeeded. The Bank is now better repositioned to deliver on its mandate through more capital injection and other institutional support from our two Shareholders - CBN and Federal Ministry of Finance in terms of supervisory, regulatory oversight and guidance functions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This has increased our capacity to support the growth of the non-oil exports and complement the export boosting activities of commercial banks. In all, we have consistently maintained a robust strategy, efficient operations through sustenance of highly skilled and motivated personnel.”<br /><br />Continuing, Mr. Orya stated that “…the ultimate plan of the Bank is to invite an international rating agency, may be Standard and Poor  or Agusto & Co, or any of such agencies to rate the Bank….ideally, this is the time for such a rating….”<br /><br />In concrete terms, between August 2009 and December 2013, the Bank has supported Nigerian exporters, mainly Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) in the MASS sectors, to the tune of N30.99Billion, and issued Guarantees valued at US$27.30Million.<br /><br />In terms of developmental impact to the Nigerian economy, the Bank has through its funding interventions generated/sustained over 21,075 direct jobs, in addition to many indirect jobs and facilitated the generation of estimated US$250.32Million annually in foreign exchange earnings.<br /><br />In line with the strategic objective of building a profitable institution with a robust balance sheet, the Management has ensured an appreciable return on the equity investment of the shareholders. Accordingly a dividend for the 2010 financial year performance was declared and paid, which was the first time since year 2003 when dividend was last paid.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dividend for 2011 has also been declared and paid, while dividend for 2012 will be paid after the approval of the accounts by the CBN. This would make it three years of unbroken profitable performance, whilst fulfilling the Bank’s role as a development finance institution.<br /><br />In other areas of its operation, the Bank, within the period under review, has achieved a cumulative loan recovery of N1.82Billion; designed and rolled out a robust enterprise-wide risk management framework.<br /><br />In terms of branding, communication and visibility, the Bank has created and sustained an amazing awareness of its objectives, products and service offerings across the local, national, and international media through its rebranding exercise.<br /><br />The net effect of all these is that the Bank, has through its activities, strongly supported and has continued supporting government’s policy initiatives, especially Mr. President’s Transformation Agenda, with investment and job creation in key sectors of Manufacturing, Agro-Processing, Solid Minerals and Services, including the Creative and Entertainment Industry.<br /><br />Relentlessly, the Bank is forging ahead with several innovative initiatives and strategic alliances including –<br /> <br />a)         deepening of intra-regional trade with the launching of ECOWAS Trade Support Facility (ETSF);<br />b)        collaboration with the Borderless Alliance (an initiative of the USAID/ West African Trade Hub) to progress the regional initiative aimed at removing non-tariff barriers;<br />c)         facilitating the establishment of a Shipping Company (The Sealink Project) to own and operate ocean going vessels within the West and Central African sub-regions; and<br />d)        development of the facility guidelines for the Nigerian Creative Arts and Entertainment Industry.<br /><br />Notably, the Bank has been able to leverage on its balance Sheet to secure lines of credit from institutions like the African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim), the Export-Import Bank of India, the African Development Bank (AfDB) while it has collaboration arrangements with United States Export-Import Bank and other EXIM Banks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Bank is a member of the World Economic Forum in the Global Growth Company category, and was recently admitted as a member of OECD (Organization for Economic Corporation and Development), in observer status.<br /><br />Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM).</span></div>

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL FULL TRANSCRIPT OF PRESS CONFERENCE FOLLOWING THE HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT OF THE GENEVA CONFERENCE ON SYRIA

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good evening, everyone. Thank you for your participation and covering this important meeting. We have just completed the High-level of the Geneva Conference on Syria. <br /><br />        More than forty delegations came to Montreux with one purpose -- to send a message to the two Syrian delegations, and to the Syrian people, that the world wants an urgent end to the conflict and a political solution for Syria. <br /><br />        I thank the two Syrian delegations who are here today, representing the government and the opposition. It is not easy to sit across the table after so much bloodshed and destruction. But many countries have found peace and a new future through negotiations, and we are determined to help the Syrians achieve this too. <br /><br />The past three years have been filled with horror: the bombardment of civilians and towns, the use of chemical weapons, terrorist attacks, executions, disappearances, torture, killing and destruction. <br /><br />Enough is enough. The time has come to negotiate. <br /><br />        Syrians must come together to save their country, protect their children, and find a peaceful path to a better future. Syrians have a long history of living together. They must recover all they have lost. <br /><br />Today almost everyone with the means to influence the course of this conflict was in the same room under the auspices of the United Nations. That alone is historic. We did not expect instant breakthroughs from today’s conference. No-one underestimates the difficulties. But the seriousness and horror of the situation has focussed all minds, and there is a new determination to insist that the parties find a way to peace. We must seize this fragile chance. <br /><br />        In Geneva on Friday, 24th of this month, the hard work begins. The two Syrian delegations will begin talks, chaired by Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi. I thank him sincerely for his wisdom and dedicated service. <br /><br />This must be a Syrian-led process – Syrian owned - one that fully respects Syria’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity. <br /><br />The goal is clear: to fully implement the Geneva Communiqué, which has been endorsed by the Security Council, and which calls for a transition through a number of steps. <br /><br />The first is the formation, by mutual consent, of a transitional governing body with full executive powers, including over the military, security and intelligence services. <br /><br />The State’s institutions must be preserved and reformed and respect human rights, and be led by people who command public confidence, under the control of the transitional governing body. <br /><br />Other steps must follow – national dialogue, constitutional review, elections. <br /><br />As the parties work for this goal, they must respect international humanitarian law, which has been flagrantly violated in this conflict. <br /><br />They can start today, now, by allowing full humanitarian access to all in need, especially in besieged areas where people have gone without aid for months. Civilians are facing malnutrition and desperate health conditions. Food, medicine, and surgical equipment must be allowed in. Civilians, including the sick and wounded, must be allowed out. <br /><br />Attacks against civilians must cease. All parties must work to put an end to all terrorist attacks. <br /><br />We must also look for every opportunity to reduce and end violence and build confident through practical arrangements on the ground, including local ceasefire and release of detainees. The Syrian people are looking desperately for relief from the nightmare in which they are trapped. <br /><br />        The international delegations who were here today may be leaving shortly. But I have asked all of them to be available whenever we need their support. <br /><br />I thank the Government and people of Switzerland and the authorities and citizens here in Montreux for their hospitality and for their support. I thank the Russian Federation and the United States for initiating this conference, and for working with the United Nations so closely to launch it. Their continued support, and the support of the Security Council, the countries of the region and others, whether here at this Conference or not, will be essential. <br /><br />Ending this war and making peace will be hard. We have taken a first small step here in Montreux. We will take another step on Friday when the two Syrian parties sit down to talk. We have a difficult road ahead. But it can be done. And it must be done. <br /><br />It is still not too late to end the bloodshed, and find a peaceful and democratic future in a united Syria, where all can live together in democracy and dignity, enjoying full equality. The moment to act decisively and courageously is now.  The really hard work begins on Friday and the international community has shown here today its support for the efforts needed. In all of this we must keep uppermost in our minds the Syrian peoples’ desire for peace and tranquillity. <br /><br />Thank you. <br /><br />Q: Thank you Mr. Ban, thank you for coming to talk with us.  Believe me Mr. Ban, we are not the enemy.  My question is about access for humanitarian assistance.  How are you going to integrate this issue in the process of negotiations?  How are you going to engage both parties to guarantee access? Thank you. <br /><br />SG: In the absence of a political solution, it has all been the people, particularly civilians, women and girls and weak people, you have all the statistics, more than 100,000 people have been killed and millions of millions of people internally displaced and become refugees.  And therefore, it will be extremely important, crucially important, to continue to provide humanitarian assistance, particularly to those people who are living in hard-to-reach [areas].  There are at least 2.5 million people to whom the United Nations humanitarian agencies are not able to have access.  Therefore, in the course of these negotiations, it must be emphasized that they must have cessation of violence so that humanitarian assistance can be delivered.  There were many delegations today, almost all the delegations, who have emphasized the importance of this continuing humanitarian assistance and end violence immediately.  And at least if they cannot, at least while these negotiations continue, they must show some sincerity as confidence measure, which I have already said.  Thank you. <br /><br />Q: Secretary-General, when you heard both sides speak today and deliver their speeches, there clearly was not a lot of common ground.  How difficult is the task facing your Joint Special Representative?  Joint Special Representative Ambassador Brahimi, can you give us some insight into how you plan to conduct these negotiations?  For example, where do you plan to start and will you have both sides on Friday morning in the same room? <br /><br />SG: Nobody underestimates the difficulty of this issue. That is why it has taken three years without having been able to meet even for the first time.  This is for the first time that we are meeting -- two parties of Syria.  So there is very significant importance of this international high-level meeting where more than 40 countries came and showed their sincere and strong solidarity to encourage them as strongly as possible to begin their talks.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I have been urging both parties; I met Deputy Prime Minister [Al-] Moualem and also the President of the Syrian National Coalition, Mr. Jarba, and my main message was that, I did not touch much on detailing their grievances, their complaints and their problems.  My message has been that “sit down together with patience, with flexibility”, think about only their future, peaceful and brighter and better future with a dignity.  So I am sure that under the very wise and skilful diplomatic mediation of Mr. Brahimi, they will sit down together and engage in earnest sincerity.  That is my message this time. <br /><br />Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi (JSR):  You know, our original idea was that we would have the delegations nominated before the end of December.  That would have given us three weeks to talk to them, find out exactly what is it, what their thinking was, share with them our own thinking.  Unfortunately, this has not happened. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The delegation of the opposition was formed a couple of days ago.  So tomorrow, I am going to meet them separately and see how best we can move, do we go straight on Friday into one room and start discussing, or do we talk a little bit more separately, I don’t know yet.  What we will try to do is talk about how to end this bloody war. For that, I think, we have a kind of roadmap in the communiqué of 30 June, 2012, and we will see how we use that map forward to best effect.  We have no illusions that it is going to be easy, but we are going to try very hard. <br /><br />Q: I have a question to Mr. Secretary-General and I have a question to Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi.  Mr. Secretary-General, it seems that there is a big gap between the two delegations and even a big gap between the targets of this conference, one side is talking about acting against terrorism and the other part is talking about a transitional body.  How can we tighten this gap?  This is the question for the Secretary-General.  Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, I will ask it in Arabic if you do not mind.  [Unofficial translation] Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, regarding the talks, things are not very clear. You said you will meet tomorrow with both delegations.  But can we see them both on one table? <br /><br />SG: I have noted through the presentation of both parties, and particularly from the Syrian Government delegation -- in fact, the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister sent me a letter, a response letter, saying that countering terrorism should be discussed.  In my letter of invitation, I had made it quite clear that the main goal and purpose and objective of this high-level Conference on Syria would be to discuss how to implement the Geneva communiqué, which was adopted 30 June, 2012, that is establishing a transitional government with the full executive powers upon mutual consent. So everybody has come with the clear understanding that this is the basis.  Now, of course, countering terrorism is very important.  I have discussed this matter with the Syrian Foreign Minister at length.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is important, but what is more important is that you should have peace and stability and provide all livelihood to the people and give a sense of hope and future, then all this terrorism and extremism or violence will lose their breeding ground because they have been divided, because they have been fighting among themselves during the last three years, they have provided a sort of a breeding ground for external forces or extremist elements or terrorist elements or giving some breeding ground for them.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, there is no better solution than a political solution. There is no military solution, and while this political negotiation goes on, we have to provide the necessary humanitarian assistance to save lives and to keep people living with dignity, without fear and without fear of want.  That’s our basic vision. <br /><br />JSR: [Unofficial translation] We are now entering the next phase of this process and we fully realize that there is nothing easy and that there is a very big difficulty.  As you said, the interventions by the two parties showed the big gap between them.  But there was a very big step as the Secretary-General said, they had agreed to come to this conference and today they were in one room.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We will meet with them tomorrow in Geneva, we will meet each delegation apart and discuss with them what the next step will be.  Would it be for example like what was said a while ago that on Friday we will sit in the same room.  Or will we continue for example on Friday morning in separate meetings with them, then hope to reach sitting together in one room for sure.  As for how quickly we can reach results that would bring happiness and return hope to the Syrian people, this I cannot tell you. <br /><br />Q: I will ask you by Syrian language because I am from Syria.  [Unofficial translation] Mr. Ban Ki-moon, a while ago, one of our colleagues asked you how you will ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and you said that the violence must stop immediately.  Why are you hiding behind your finger why don’t we determine one goal clearly to end the crisis in Syria which is to fight terrorism.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are decisions being held up by the Security Council to punish countries, estimated at 83 countries, that are sending Jihadi fighters to Syria to kill the Syrian people.  There were countries present in the conference and you said that the world was committed to a political solution to the crisis in Syria.  What is the world going to present in the form of measures and commitments to reach such a solution. Thank you. <br /><br />SG: Thank you very much.  I have answered in part your questions.  You will find my answer from my previous answers.  Syria used to be a very peaceful and prosperous country and I visited many times as Secretary-General of the United Nations and I was very much impressed by your very proud, long, historical civilizations and cultures, your proud people, but somehow, unfortunately, you have been fighting among the people, between the people, during the last three years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have been urging to President Assad, please listen more attentively and seriously, what their concerns, what their grievances are, and please try to resolve with some broader mind and engagement and [in a] reconciliatory way.  Just accommodate and try to resolve all these issues.  Unfortunately, this kind of reconciliatory or inclusive process has not taken place and it has taken three years; and during that time, many people have been killed, many people have to flee their country because of the fear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the course of this, when the country was devastated, infrastructure, schools and sanitation, people lost their hope and you opened a possibility of a breeding ground for some external elements, extremists and terrorists. They came in, and you are much more divided. You are now fighting against opposition groups, against terrorist groups, and against extremist groups. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So you are now fighting [on] multi[ple] fronts. It is very sad.  That is why we are urging that there are no other options that establishing a transitional governing body will have full power over military, security and intelligence. Then let the person with a vision for a better future govern this one and try to put forward their proposals, which will be led by the Syrian people. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Then I am sure that all these external elements and terrorist groups will have no place to stand when your people are united.  I think that is why we are now beginning peace talks, peace talks, and I am very glad that for the first time, the two parties are coming to sit down together.   <br /><br />Q: As you know, Mr. Secretary-General, the priority for the Syrian Government now is to fight terrorism.  Have you heard from them directly that they actually reject the terms of reference for the meeting in Geneva which you very clearly stated is about the implementation of the Geneva I. [Unofficial translation] Mr. Brahimi, if I may in Arabic, you talked about the delays in naming the delegations and the meeting tomorrow, is there a possibility that you might postpone the negotiations in Geneva on 24 January until all the lists are completed, and do you have any intention of placing a timeline for the negotiations so that it does not become an open process? Thank you. <br /><br />SG:  When the Syrian Government has confirmed the participation, after having received my letter of invitation, it is clear that the basis and main proposal of this conference will be to discuss the implementation of this transitional governing body. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Deputy Prime Minister [Al-] Moualem is fully aware of that.  I was surprised and disappointed when his response letter was that they were more concerned and giving priority to this one [the fight against terrorism].  Of course as I said and I told you, terrorism --countering terrorism -- is a very important aspect of this Syrian crisis, but you have to resolve this issue through political dialogue, in a political way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no other solution, viable solution, than a political solution.  You have seen all this, what has happened, from military options. That is why I have been urging the countries, whoever one may be, who have been providing arms to either side, must stop, and encourage them to engage in political dialogue. <br /><br />JSR: [Unofficial translation] We will not postpone the start of the negotiations with the Syrian brothers but we will start tomorrow, instead of Friday.  As for how this will develop, of course I do not know.  As I told you, we had been hoping that we would have enough time to discuss with them, three weeks, but this did not happen.  We spoke with them yesterday and today, and tomorrow, we will sit with each party a serious and long sitting and God willing we will agree with them on how things will develop. <br /><br />Q: Mr. Ban Ki-moon, a question precisely on the issue of the transitional government. If you were disappointed with the Syrians, and you are disappointed with the Iranians, why were the Iranians disinvited and not the Syrians in this case. This is a question of coherence.  To Mr. Brahimi, you predecessor wanted very clearly a cease fire before talks happened.  It seems that you are ready to do the talks without the cease fire. Why such a change and how can you actually have a talk if you don’t have a cease fire? <br /><br />SG: Syria is a directly related party to this crisis, so it is important that Syria participates. If for either one of two parties does not participate, this meeting could not have taken place, so it was very encouraging that the opposition group and Syrian Government delegation both have participated.  You must have been following closely the process of the opposition groups, whether they would participate or not.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They have gone through many many [of] their internal discussions and conferences, and finally they agreed to participate on 17 January in their conference in Istanbul.  Therefore it is different from Syria and Iran.  Iran should know that the basis and main purpose of this conference is to discuss establishing this transitional governing body.  Unfortunately, I was not able to get a firm confirmation from the Iranian Government at the last minute. That is what has happened. <br /><br />Q: We have talked quite a bit about your persuasion on the Syrian Government delegation that they should find a different approach to fight terrorism.  How about the opposition?  They have been calling for President Assad to step down as a kind of precondition for the talks to start even today.  How do you look at the possibility that this precondition could bring the talks into a kind of impasse even at the very early stage? Thank you. <br /><br />SG: As the Secretary-General of the United Nations, I have been stating that the status or future of President Assad is an issue which needs to be determined by the Syrian people. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Therefore, that is something which will have to be discussed between the two parties under the facilitation, mediation of Lakhdar Brahimi. My message to Mr. Jarba last year and this time was that they should first of all try to have broad-based support among and from Syrian people -- as you know, there are many different groups and sub-groups under this Syrian National Coalition (SNC) --, try to have as tight a unity as possible among yourselves and discuss this matter with the Syrian Government delegation and that is why they are here.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He was re-elected as President of SNC and he is representing the opposition groups.  I sincerely hope that they will be able to address all the difficult issues, including the one which you asked. <br /><br />Q: Secretary-General, my question is why did you invite Iran to the conference before getting the firm confirmation that they do support Geneva I. And second question is to Mr. Brahimi, where is the certainty that you will be able to negotiate perhaps confidence building measures.  Dating back to previous questions on that, there is no fundamental agreement on how to proceed, on the question of President Bashar al-Assad’s future, so how do you plan to proceed, if you could go into a little bit more detail, that will be great. Thank you <br /><br />SG: I and Lakhdar Brahimi have been consistently stating that all the regional countries, including Iran, should be part of this process.  Those countries have direct relationship and influence and they may [make] great contributions to the process of this resolving the Syrian crisis.  Iran is also very important -- one of the important regional players.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That is why we thought that Iran should be invited.  As you know, there has not been consensus among the key players on this issue, but we have been discussing this matter over weeks, most recently, and even months, to find some common ground or understanding. I have explained many times that key principles of this Geneva communiqué should be the basis of this conference, and that is the only way we can resolve and address Syrian crisis. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> There were a lot of meetings and telephone conversations on that, and they also said that they would play a constructive role and they would understand the basic principles of this meeting would be this joint communiqué.  We would expect that they would come [with] much concrete commitment.  Finally, we were not able to confirm it.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The statement they issued after my invitation was not at all consistent with this basic principle and lines and purpose of this meeting.  That is why unfortunately and regrettably, I had to rescind the invitation at the last minute.  At the same time, you should know that my main priority as convenor of this conference was to have this international high-level segment convened as scheduled.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If by the Iranian participation or by whatever misunderstandings that there might have been, then if this meeting could not have taken place, then it is not to the purpose of serving the purpose of Syrian people and of the international community.  I believe that I have taken the right decision, even at the last minute.  That is why we have had a very successful meeting where two parties have participated.  This meeting was conducted in a harmonious and constructive way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> All the participants made very constructive and productive contributions and there was broad support. Except just the Syrians, I think almost all the countries supported this principle that the main purpose of this conference should be implementing this Geneva communiqué I, that is establishing transitional governing body. <br /><br />JSR: You know, we have had some fairly clear indications that the parties are willing to discuss issues of access to needy people, liberation of prisoners, and local cease fires.  But certainty is a very rare commodity in our kind of business. <br /><br />Q: Could you tell us what are the positions of both sides regarding this idea of partial cease fire, what did express so far regarding this idea, thank you. <br /><br />SG: I think the announcement by the Syrian Government to propose a local cease fire in Aleppo and the willingness to release detainees was a good and encouraging proposal, which should have been met by all other opposition groups.  As you know, there are many different military armed elements within and among Syrian opposition group.  That is why I am urging again, as they have just started now peace talks, they should establish [some] sort of confidence building measures. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a very important confidence building measure.  First, establish and declare cessation of violence all throughout the country. If not, even the localized cessation of violence will be helpful. I am urging the Syrian Government as a confidence building measure, as a way of showing their sincerity. [Releasing] detainees will also help reconciliatory process. That will help create a favourable atmosphere when they sit down together with opposition groups.<br /><br /> </span></div>
