Mr. Li Zhaoxing (China)
Since the adoption of Security Council resolution 897 (1994), the Somali peace process has made some headway, but at the same time unstable elements have further increased, resulting in a chaotic social order devoid of safety. This cannot but cause us deep concern. The main purpose of a number of resolutions adopted by the Council on the question of Somalia is to promote the peace process initia…
Mr. Ladsous (France)
My delegation joined in the adoption of this resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) for four months, until 30 September 1994.

Mr. Sidorov (Russian Federation)
The Russian Federation has consistently favoured the speedy restoration of peace in Somalia and the return of its people to normal life. We support the efforts of the international community to render humanitarian assistance to the population of this country. Unfortunately, the process of national reconciliation in Somalia is experiencing serious breakdowns. There is still no clarity concerning …
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Nigeria. My delegation regrets that it did not find much ground for optimism in the further report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Operation in Somalia submitted in pursuance of paragraph 14 of resolution 897 (1994) of 24 May 1994 (S/1994/614), which constitutes the basis for the resolution we have just adopted. …
