I could, of course, also communicate this information to the Security Council in a different form such as a report should you prefer. The President of the Security Council asked me to come and brief the Security Council and answer questions. The draft letter is also meant for this purpose. Before leaving the area, I formalized my proposal to RUF (see enclosed Action Plan of RUF). I also presented to President Konare of Mali, in his capacity as Chair of ECOWAS a document entitled "Relation between UNHCR's plan on Safe Access, etc. and ECOWAS" (enclosed as] Annex). I seek your guidance as to whether to share this information only with vo» nr tn annex it| as well as to the letter to the President of the Security Council. Finally, I would like to inform you that since my understanding with the authorities of Guinea, the f refugees in the Languette are not any longer totally isolated. In a prudent and cautious manner, limited quantities of food were brought in (although it is still very difficult) and there is a modest flow of refugees (approximately 500 today) who, no longer hampered by the Guinean army, take the risk to flee from Laaguette to Nvaedou. As Iqbal Riza was informed, I am available to speak about all of this by telephone and I seek your guidance before finalizing the letter to the President of the Security Council. Yours sincerely, Ruud Lubbers Mr. Kofi A.

Ivory Coast and Mali (10-18 February 2001X I would like to share with you the findings and results of my mission. My focus was naturally on the current refugee crisis in West Africa. In this regard, I should like to refer to my briefing to the Security Council on 9 January 2001 and my letter of 17 January to His Excellency Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani of Singapore, then President of the Security Council, regarding the situation in Guinea. (A copy is attached herewith for ease of reference.) Subsequently, the situation of refugees and internally displaced people in the region deteriorated substantially. A series of rebel attacks in southeastern Guinea, particularly in the <ju6ckedou and Kissidougou areas, caused farther displacement of refugees and the local population. More than 100,000 refugees were reportedly trapped in the border region known as La Languette, to which UNHCR had little access due to the volatile security situation. UNHCR. in cooperation with its partners, tried to relocate the refugees from the T-anguette region to safer places within Guinea. such as Albadaria, some eighty kilometers north of Kissidougou. The worrying security situation near the border made this operation extremely dangerous. Security conditions for the refugees and humanitarian workers alike became very fragile* UNHCR received reports on a number of occasions that thq Guinean Army did not allow refugees to leave the Languette region. Similarly, nearly 35,000 refugees were blocked in Nyaedou situated between Gueckddou and Kissidougou. UNHCR vehicles and other humanitarian provisions were also requisitioned by the military. In addition, the large number of refugees coupled with the deteriorating security environment in Guinea led to increase in tensions with the local population. I Cases of harassment were repotted and the free movement of refugees toward Conakry and other safer places became more difficult. In view of these developments, upon my arrival in Guinea on 11 February, I placed a high priority / on restoring good and effective relations with the Government of the Republic of Guinea and its I military. In a war-like situation in southeastern Guinea, I noted that two senior military officers had replaced the civilian prfefets of Kissidougou. We agreed with the authorities on establishing a focal point to facilitate our contacts and communication on security matters. The main responsibility of the focal point arrangement will be to alert humanitarian agencies on issues pertaining to security in the region and also on other incidents such as the requisitioning of UNHCR vehicles. His Excellency Mr, Said Ben Mustapha Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Tunisia President of the United Nations Security Council H3NOISSIHKOD HSIH-HOHKU1 9fr CZ, 6Ci ZZ Tfc TVd W-Vl 301-10, ZO/OZ DRAFT T found that improvements to safeguard the physical protection of refugees were much needed. I / addressed this point with the Guinean civilian and military authorities by agreeing upon the I necessity of ensuring "safe access to" and the "safe passage oP refugees, along with any measures required to implement these principles. While we agreed upon these principles for the entire '// country, implementation is to begin with the establishment: of safe passage along the mam road " between Gueckedou and Kissidougou and the route leading to Conakry. The agreement also secures passage to refugee camps near the mam road, such as the new Albadaria site. The next step will be to gain access the Languette region. With the rainy season about to begin, Argent action is needed to remedy the situation. My consultations with the Guinean authorities made clear that they would be prepared to cooperate in ensuring access to the Languette and'tbe safe passage Of refugees northward. They shared their concern that bringing food and Other humanitarian assistance into that area risked attracting the attention of rebel groups and, thus, undermining the prospects for. safe passage out. The ability of the RUF to reach the area obviously was a consideration in their thinking. The Government also emphasized that, given the sizable f] number of refugees, not only relocation inside Guinea but also return to Sierra Leone needed to be|| considered and pursued. • These two points were high on my agenda when I arrived in Freetown on 13 February. Following my meetings with UNAMSIL. the President of Sierra Leone and government authorities, I had assurances that an agreement on basic principles of safe access and passage was possible—for Sierra Leone, the option of safe passage - or opening a humanitarian corridor - was more relevant. President Kabbah agreed that TJNAMSIL and the UN Contact Group could initiate discussions with the RUF leading to the establishment of conditions for the safe passage of refugees returning to Sierra Leone. The initiative to open a corridor for refugees and to reach an agreement on the basic principles matched perfectly with the need to improve relations with the RUF and bring greater stability, as mentioned by SRSG Adeniji in his briefing to tie Security Council on 14 February. I should add that the efforts of the Contact Group to establish conditions for safe passage must nor I only involve Sierra Leone, but Guinea as well. The ongoing consultations regarding the hand-over' of control over the Forecarlah-Kambia road from RUF to UNAMSIL - and, consequently, the establishment of a safe passage - can only become a reality if Guinea also cooperates with thelj initiative. During my mission, I received reports of the Guinean Army shelling the area. At the| same time, a request that the Government of Guinea cooperate in these efforts will be more realistic} and productive if the RUF commits itself to refraining from military actions on the Gt territory and condemns all actions that violate the agreed principles. For this reason, during my stay in Sierra Leone, I decided to seek the active support not only of President Kabbah, but also of the RUF through the intermediary of the Contact Group. During our meeting, President Kabbah pointed out the possibility of opening a road from the .Languette to Kenema. The President had already requested that UNAMSIL explore this possibility, and he later confirmed this position during our joint press conference. While agreeing that his suggestion could be another potentially valuable step, I stressed that the first priority should be to reach a formal agreement between the Governments of Guinea and Sierra Leone and the RUF (and UNAMSIL for that mauer) on the basic principles of safe access and safe passage. Following my talks and fact-finding visit in Sierra Leone, I was convinced that the success of refugee returns will depend fundamentally upon guaranteeing safety in the country, most particularly by ensuring the cease-fire agreement holds.
