Secretary-General
Kofi Annan Visits Africa and
Addresses the African Union:
President Yahya Jammeh of the Gambia discusses with
UN Radio some of Africa's Problems and Challenges:
UN Secretary-General Says UN Will Continue to Help Reconstruction
in Liberia
United Nations Secretary-General goes on his last major
mission to Africa. "This Union has recognized
that Africa's partnership with the rest of the world
must be based on solid achievements, and on monitoring
of both donor and recipient performance."
The
president of the Gambia, Yahya Jammeh talks about some
of the challenges and problems facing Africa. "Africa
is the richest continent in terms of mineral and natural
resources. Up to now, why are we the poorest of the
poor? Because the resources are not used judiciously,
and we have endless wars that are creating problems
for Africa."
The Secretary-General says the UN needs to help Liberia
reform its institutions as it rebuilds after a civil
war. He discusses his visit to the country with the
chief of UNMIL radio in Monrovia.

The UN Expert on Children and Armed Conflict,
Radhika Coomaraswamy Talks about Her Recent Visit
to Uganda; The Need for Deployment of UN Peacekeepers
in Darfur;
A Kenyan Developer Talks about the Challenges
of Building Houses in Kenya
The United Nations expert on Children
and Armed Conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy recently
visited Uganda to negotiate with the government
an action plan to stop the recruitment of child
soldiers by the army and rebel group. She says
there is need to address the problem of children
who live in camps for displaced people in Northern
Uganda:

"Basically, we have to get children out of
the armed forces. Secondly, we have to move into
a situation where we can help reintegrate them
back into the community."
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and
the head of peacekeeping operations, Jean-Marie
Guehenno say a United Nations peacekeeping force
and a political solution are needed to resolve
the Darfur crisis. In the meantime, African Union
peacekeepers need to be strengthened until such
an international force is deployed:

"We would also need a force that is
mobile in the air and on the ground and would
be able to respond to crisis or SOS and be on
the ground to make a difference before it is too
late."
