This is medicine after death. We need the assistance now in order to be able to resolve the crisis.

When we terminate this mandate, we have no authority to hand it over to the UN. This is not our business.

These violations and breaches, whether by the SLA or the Arab militias or indeed by the government forces, should not be tolerated anymore as they further undermine what is in any case a tenuous ceasefire.

The situation, especially in the past couple of weeks, is a continuing deterioration of security, mostly provoked by SLA [the rebel Sudan Liberation Army] elements.

We expect a greater sense of responsibility ... on the part of the GOS troops and their allies than they have exhibited in the last four days.

We have asked the SLA to give us the coordinate of the position where these attacks have taken place...As soon as they do that, we shall send our team to investigate and establish whether indeed such attacks took place or not.
