UNITED
NATIONS, March
12 -- As the
UN Security
Council met
behind closed
doors on Sudan
and South
Sudan on
Tuesday
morning,
Sudanese
Permanent
Representative
Daffa-Alla
Elhag Ali
Osman arrived
in a bright
white
suit.
He
told Inner
City Press,
pointing in at
the Security
Council, “Last
week, they
were pushing
hard for a
Presidential
Statement to
condemn
and deplore
Sudan on
retarding and
impeding. Look
what
happened.”
He
paused. “The
success and
achievement
and
accomplishment
reached
today, this
morning, by
signing the
implementation
matrix of the
nine
agreements
proves that
there are some
people here,
few, who are
hasty... I
don't want to
be tough on
them. We need
patience. We
need
resilience. We
need wisdom.”
Daffa-Alla
Elhag
Ali Osman went
into the
Security
Council's
quiet room
then came
back out,
adding to
Inner City
Press,
“Imagine if
that was
adopted.”
But
what will the
Security
Council adopt?

Footnote:
Floating
into the
Security
Council before
most members
was UN
Peacekeeping
chief Herve
Ladsous. After
stonewalling
three time on
Press
questions
about the 126
rapes in
Minova by the
Congolese
Army,
his partners,
his DPKO doled
out some spin
to friendly
scribes on
March 7.
But
the UN has
since refused
to identify
the two DRC
Army units
they say
were
threatened on
February 4 and
February 18,
and has
refused to say
what the
deadline is.
This is
Ladsous' DPKO.
