CAMEROON-NIGERIA:
HANDING OVER BAKASSI AND AVOIDING OPEN CONFLICT, AND
SIERRA LEONE SPECIAL COURT: INTERVIEW WITH PROSECUTOR
DE SILVA
In a significant move showing that
potentially deadly and costly conflicts can be averted
in Africa, Presidents Obasanjo of Nigeria and Biya of
Cameroon sign another key agreement in New York, to
finally resolve the dispute over their common border
- including the oil-rich Bakassi Peninsula.
"On a continent with an abundance
of conflicts, their decision was ultimately a victory
for the rule of law, and for the idea that differences
can be resolved peacefully," says UN Secretary-General,
Kofi Annan. "Its significance goes much
beyond Nigeria and Cameroon. It should represent a model
of resolution of similar conflicts in Africa, and I
dare say, in the world at large," adds
President Obasanjo.
 The
UK government offers a prison home for the indicted
former Liberian president Charles Taylor, if he is convicted
of war crimes charges at the UN-backed Special Court
for Sierra Leone in Freetown. The court Prosecutor,
Desmond De Silva responds to critics who say Mr. Taylor
must remain in Sierra Leone to, experience the same
difficult conditions as others - including mosquito
bites: "So, is the suggestion that if he
goes to The Hague I should have a consignment of mosquitoes
taken to The Hague and introduced into his cell so that
he would suffer the same discomfort as others? Well,
it's an interesting proposition."

SOMALIA: ISLAMISTS TAKE OVER CAPITAL, WHAT NEXT?
SUDAN: THE UN STILL SEEKS TO SEND TROOPS TO DARFUR
 As
a coalition of Islamist warlords takes full control
of Mogadishu, we ask the UN's top official for
Somalia, Francois Lonseny Fall, so what now? "We
were always concerned about terrorism because
terrorism is a threat against the security for
everybody. I hope that they will not cross these
red lines and that they will continue to dialogue
and to establish a functioning government in all
Somalia. It's the only way we can save this country."
 The
UN intensifies diplomatic efforts to secure the
Sudanese government's cooperation in the deployment
of UN peacekeepers in the violence-affected region
of Darfur:"Sudan is the biggest country
in Africa. It's a strategic location and given
the size and its potential we think that the fate
and fortune of Sudan will affect the fate and
fortune of the whole of the continent.,"
says Ghana's envoy at the UN, Nana Effah
Appenteng, who's a member of the Security Council
delegation that has been in Khartoum.
