First There Is The Search And Rescue

We Receive Reports Now On A Daily Basis From Our Own People On The Ground In Darfur On Widespread Atrocities And Grave Violations Of Human Rights Against The Civilian Population.

We Estimate That Humanitarian Agencies Have Access To About 350,000 Vulnerable People In Darfur - Only About One Third Of The Estimated Total Population In Need.

It Is Only The Somalis Themselves - And I Don't Hide That Fact When I Meet The Political Leaders Here - They Themselves Have To Stop Their Old Practices Of Fighting Each Other Every Time They Have A Problem. They Have To Learn How To Do Peaceful Conflict Resolution.

I Think Now, We In The International Community Are Belatedly Wanting To Show Our Solidarity With The Somali Peoples And Also Do Our Best To Help Them Move To Better Times.

I Think The Biggest Challenge For Somalia Has Been The Sense That It Is A Hopeless Case Of Incomprehensible Internal Conflicts And There Is Nothing We Can Do.
