There must be a clear position. It is a serious matter.

The recommendations from our last meeting were erroneously interpreted and regrettably led to the considerable slowing down of the peace process.

This is a temporary measure we are taking. Given the vitriolic messages we hear on the radio and in the media, we think that the next few days are not going to improve very much the situation.

We hope that the Secretary General's message was clear to the leaders that encouraging and maintaining violence is very serious... but I believe that the situation will change.

These are not large numbers and it still has to go through the Security Council.

ZANU-PF leaders seemed to sanction the use of violence and intimidation against political opponents and contributed significantly to the climate of fear so evident during the election campaign.

The paradox [in Cote d'Ivoire] is that while we have everything ready for the path to peace, we are also ready for the road to crisis.

We were not prepared ... we are under attack, under siege, having to temporarily relocate personnel.

There are 14,000 people who feel threatened. We will do all that we can to ask the government to do something to ensure their protection.
