Gambari Joint Special Representative for the African Union and the United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) When: Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 1 – 2:45pm Where: International Peace Institute Trygve Lie Center for Peace, Security & Development Transcript edited by IPI TRANSCRIPT Speaker: H.E. Dr. Ibrahim A. Gambari, Joint Special Representative for the African Union and the United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) Chair: Mr. Warren Hoge, Vice President for External Relations, International Peace Institute Warren Hoge: Good afternoon. I'm Warren Hoge, IPI's Vice President for External Relations, and I'm delighted to welcome you to this latest event in IPI's SRSG series. Our guest today is Dr. Ibrahim A. Gambari, the Joint Special Representative for the African Union and the United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, known as UNAMID. He will be speaking on “Ending the Conflict in Darfur, Time for a Renewed Effort.” Ibrahim Gambari’s appearance here is another high point in this series which IPI is pleased to put on in the interest of furthering a dialogue between the UN community in New York and key UN leaders with critical experience on the ground and in the field operating in a reality that can be distant from headquarters. Earlier this month, we had Ellen Margarethe Løj, the SRSG of Liberia, and next week we are hosting Ad Melkert, the SRSG for Iraq. Now, I'm happy to say that I've known Ibrahim Gambari ever since I first arrived in Turtle Bay in December of 2003 to cover the UN for The New York Times.
