Kofi Annan
and African leaders Address General Assembly :
UNHCR Chief Stresses Need to Help Returning Refugees:
Ugandan Rebel Fighters Gather At Assembly Points in
Southern Sudan :
The General Assembly started its general
debate on issues and challenges facing the international
community.  Presenting
his last report on the work of the Organization, the
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said that development,
the rule of law and respect for human rights remain
the main challenges facing the world. The President
of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki called for a more equitable
world economic order as world. "Something
is wrong when many Africans traverse, on foot, the harsh,
hot and hostile Sahara Desert to reach the European
shores."
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees,
Antonio Guterres,
says that as a result of repatriation operations, the
number of refugees has decreased. He stresses the importance
of ensuring that the people who have returned to their
country have sustainable livelihood. "The
main problem we face is that in some of these situations,
it is very difficult to guarantee the sustainability
of return."
Fighters of the Lord's Resistance Army
of Uganda gather at assembly points in Southern Sudan
as part of the implementation of an agreement to end
the 20-year old conflict in Northern Uganda. Welile
Nhlapho of the Department of Political Affairs says
this is an encouraging development.

PROVISIONAL
RESULTS OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS ARE FINALLY
ANNOUNCED IN THE DRC;
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL CALLS FOR URGENT ACTION
TO STOP SUFFERING IN DARFUR, SUDAN;
THE UN TRIBUNAL ACQUITS FORMER RWANDAN MAYOR
In the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, the main rivals have met for the first
since their supporters clashed last month. The
meeting follows the announcement of the provisional
results of parliamentary elections held in July.
The head of the UN Mission William Swing is encouraged
by the developments in the country despite some
difficulties.
 "It
looks like the possibilities - people having both
a clear cut majority and a strong opposition,
both those possibilities seem to exist in the
figures as we know them now. That's a good thing,
which would provide for both a stable government
and an opposition which could exercise its role
of control and checks and balances."
As the Sudanese government continues
to refuse to accept deployment of UN peacekeepers
in Darfur, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan calls
on the Security Council to take urgent action
to put an end to the suffering of the Sudanese
people in the region.
"Can the international community, having
not done enough for the people of Rwanda in their
time of need, just watch as this tragedy deepens.
Having finally agreed just one year ago that there
is responsibility to protect, can we contemplate
failing yet another test?"
 A
former mayor of a Commune in Rwanda is acquitted
of charges of instigating and supporting the massacre
of Tutsis during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
Mandiaye Niange of the UN tribunal says the acquittal
shows that the court is impartial.
