  • Political and Security Affairs Regional Issues Near East
    Part 1 Political and Security Affairs Regional Issues Near East Arab-Israeli Situation The United States actively pursued the vision of a two-state solution of Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security. The United States continued to work in partnership with the other members of the Quartet (the United Nations, European Union, and Russia) to achieve progress on the Quartet’s Performance-Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (―Roadmap‖). The Security Council met monthly to discuss the situation in the Middle East. On July 8, Libya submitted to the Security Council a draft resolution on the situation in the Middle East, focusing in large part on Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank. The draft did not take note of ongoing terrorist rocket attacks against Israel from Gaza, nor did it explicitly acknowledge the Roadmap’s obligation for a permanent end to rocket, mortar, suicide, and other attacks targeting civilians, and for regional states to cut off funding and other means of support to groups supporting and engaging in violence and terror. The U.S. Delegation opposed the resolution as being unbalanced. The Security Council was unable to come to a consensus on the Libyan draft, and following a decision by Arab League ministers, the draft resolution was not brought to a vote. On September 19, the Security Council held its monthly meeting on a ministerial meeting on the situation in the Middle East at the ministerial level.. Most speakers focused on Israeli settlement activity in the occupied territories.

  • Resolving the Chadian Political Epilepsy: an Assessment of Intervention Efforts
    Institute for Security Studies Situation Report Date issued: 1 June 2009 Author: Chrysantus Ayangafac1 Distribution: General Contact: [email protected] Resolving the Chadian Political Epilepsy: An Assessment of Intervention Efforts Chad’s political economy is littered with the wreckage of failed attempts at Introduction resolving the country’s intractable political crisis. Since independence, Chad has not witnessed any constitutional transfer of power. Its political history is a story of drawn-out conflicts with incidental cessation of hostilities, peace agreements and national elections.2 In reality, these events have merely provided an opportunity for alignment, realignment and, in the process, preparation for the next battle. The attack on N’Djamena in February 2008 might not be the last of these.3 As Chad’s belligerents flex their muscle for yet another round of a violent contest for the soul of the Chadian state, the stage seems set for renewed violence. Hopefully they are grandstanding for potential negotiation. Against this backdrop, it is imperative to interrogate whether the international community so far has been right about Chad, and, if not, why and what could be done to improve the situation? Considering the present international response to the crisis, is there any political incentive for President Déby’s regime to accommodate a robust political solution that will usher in peace; is the regime prepared to pay the political cost of peace – at least from a human security perspective? This situation report analyses and presents an update on the domestic and international responses to the Chadian crisis. It concludes that though the current policy approach is certainly not a panacea to the Chadian crisis, it is a good starting point.

  • Chad Summary of Conflict Jan-Mar 2008
    www.saferaccess.org A Network of Humanitarian Safety Expertise March, 2008 ChadChad SummarySummary ofof ConflictConflict JanJan--MarMar 20082008 Since the end of January 2008, Chad is once again the center of serious security concern. Many of the issues threatening the security of civilians and the humanitarian community are having an effect region wide: relations between Chad and Sudan, the deployment of EUFOR in Chad/CAR and UNAMID in Darfur, and the movement of population across the borders. This document intends to provide a timeline of recent events in Chad. This information is provided for the benefit of the humanitarian community and is a result of research conducted by Safer Access. The circumstances and recommendations indicated by this report may change. All readers are therefore advised to act accordingly to capacity and the latest information www.saferaccess.org A Network of Humanitarian Safety Expertise March, 2008 Background From independence to war Since its independence in 1960, the population of Chad has never known peace and security. Insurgency against the central government began in 1965, and continued even after the government fell in 1975. Libyan involvement in the chaotic civil war only worsened the chances of peace. The Libyans were expelled by forces under Hissène Habré in 1987. Habré himself became a despot, however, and his Daza dominated regime was overthrown in December, 1990 by General Deby, of the Zaghawa tribe. Deby enjoyed the support of France. Deby’s regime has also been problematic, marked by coup attempts and rebellions since shortly after taking power. Heavy handed responses by the government has resulted in the expulsion of dissidents throughout the region, particularly in Sudan and the Central African Republic.
