Mr. Baali
Algeria fully shares the legitimate concern of the international community in the face of the tragedy in Darfur. We are profoundly outraged and upset by the heavy price that the civilian population has paid, and continues to pay, as a result of that fratricidal conflict. It is therefore quite normal for Algeria to express its compassion and solidarity with the victims of that tragedy, because we …
Mr. Denisov
The Russian Federation is concerned by the continuing complex political and humanitarian situation in the Sudanese province of Darfur. Unfortunately, both sides — the Government of the Sudan and the rebels — so far have not fully complied with the demands of the United Nations, and that is the major reason for the continuation of the Darfur conflict.
During the difficult work on drafting the res…
Mr. Wang Guangya
The Chinese delegation abstained in the vote just taken because we have serious reservations about the resolution adopted this evening. A few days ago the Security Council adopted resolution 1590 (2005) authorizing the deployment of a peacekeeping operation in southern Sudan. That was a correct decision, which will help ensure the comprehensive implementation of the north-south Peace Agreement. I…
Mr. Mahiga

Mr. Holliday
I had not intended to take the floor, but I want to reflect on what we have done here. Twelve members of the Council, including two African States, voted for this resolution, which we hope will address the situation in Darfur.
However, I have to defend the honour of the United States Congress. Many of the members of
Congress care deeply about the issue, and many of them have gone to Darfur and …
The President
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
The Council will remain seized of the matter.

I now give the floor to the representative of the Sudan.
Mr. Erwa
At the outset, I should like to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council at
this very historic time for my country. We are fully confident that you will carry out your mission well.
I begin my statement by thanking the Council for all its efforts to support the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Government of the Sudan and …
The President
