3.SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“I am deeply concerned by the gains terrorist groups are making in the Sahel and elsewhere. Community by community, they are extending their reach.”
SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Just as terrorism drives people apart, countering it can bring countries together. We see this across Africa, which is home to a number of regional counter-terrorism initiatives. From joint efforts in the Sahel, the Lake Chad Basin, Mozambique and beyond. To the renewed determination of African leaders to tackle this evolving threat — as seen in the recent Extraordinary Summit of the African Union on terrorism and unconstitutional changes of government. The United Nations stands with Africa to end this scourge.”
4. Wide shot, Security Council
5. SOUNDBITE (French) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Evidence shows that counter-terrorism efforts that are solely security-focused rather than human-rights based can inadvertently increase marginalization and exclusion, and make the situation even worse. The proposed New Agenda for Peace will set out a holistic and comprehensive approach to building more peaceful and stable societies in which terror and violent extremism have no home.”
6.Wide shot, Security Council
7.SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“At every step, we commit to upholding the essential rights and dignity of terrorism’s victims and survivors by supporting and helping to heal those who have been harmed and displaced. It is in their names — and in the memory of those who have been killed by terrorism and violent extremism — that we will continue our work to end this scourge, once and for all.”
8.Wide shot, Security Council
9.SOUNDBITE (French) Azali Assoumani, President of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union:
“To this end, the sharing of relevant information, intelligence, coordination of our operations are key to build on our accomplishments as always to prevent and fight against terrorism and other cross border threats.”
10. Wide shot, Security Council
11.SOUNDBITE (French) Azali Assoumani, President of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union:
“I would like therefore, to urge the Security Council of the United Nations to redouble its efforts and strengthen the cooperation between the African Union and the United Nations in prevention, it is less costly in the long-term. The UN action plan against terrorism and violent extremism would have a very solid impact if it had been provided with the necessary resources.”
12. Wide shot, Security Council
13.SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, President of Mozambique:
“On one hand, radicalization based on identity variables fueled by intolerance, and on the other hand, the manipulation of socioeconomic factors have accelerated recruitment to terrorist groups, particularly of the youth. The association of terrorists transnational, organized crime has contributed for the survival and spread of terrorist groups.”
14. Wide shot, Security Council
15.SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, President of Mozambique:
“On the African continent level, the terrorist groups are active and more incidents in northern Africa, the Sahel, Central Africa, the Horn of Africa, east Africa and southern Africa. In the southern Africa region, for Mozambique is direct target of terrorist attacks since October 2017. These acts are causing deaths and destruction and slowing down the development agenda for the welfare of our peoples.”

STORYLINE:
UN Secretary-General António Guterres told the Security Council that he is “deeply concerned by the gains terrorist groups are making in the Sahel and elsewhere,” reiterating that “just as terrorism drives people apart, countering it can bring countries together.”
The Security Council today (28 Mar) held an open debate on “Countering Terrorism & Preventing Violent Extremisim by Strengthening Cooperation Between The United Nations And Regional Organizations And Mechanisms”.
Guterres said that terrorism is the root and result of many of the problems under discussion by this Council. No age, no culture, no religion, no nationality and no region is immune.
But the situation in Africa is especially concerning, the UN chief warned.
He said that despair, poverty, hunger, lack of basic services, unemployment, and unconstitutional changes in government continue to lay fertile ground for the creeping expansion of terrorist groups to infect new parts of the continent.
However, Guterres said Africa is also home to a number of regional counter-terrorism initiatives, “from joint efforts in the Sahel, the Lake Chad Basin, Mozambique and beyond. To the renewed determination of African leaders to tackle this evolving threat — as seen in the recent Extraordinary Summit of the African Union on terrorism and unconstitutional changes of government,” Guterres explained.
The UN chief reiterated, “the United Nations stands with Africa to end this scourge.”
He further explained that it includes the Security Council’s policy guidance, technical assistance and support for sanction regimes. It includes the Counter-Terrorism Committee’s 65 assessment visits to ensure compliance with Security Council requirements — which resulted in thousands of actionable recommendations to Member States to improve responses. It includes the UN’s work through the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact to bring together diverse UN agencies, Member States, regional parliaments and civil society to support joint efforts across the continent.
Above all, Guterres said that it includes the UN’s ongoing close collaboration with the African Union and regional and sub-regional African organizations.
The UN chief also noted that terrorism represents the denial and destruction of human rights.
He said, “Evidence shows that counter-terrorism efforts that are solely security-focused rather than human-rights based can inadvertently increase marginalization and exclusion, and make the situation even worse.”
Guterres added, “The proposed New Agenda for Peace will set out a holistic and comprehensive approach to building more peaceful and stable societies in which terror and violent extremism have no home.”
The Secretary-General concluded, “At every step, we commit to upholding the essential rights and dignity of terrorism’s victims and survivors by supporting and helping to heal those who have been harmed and displaced.”
He reiterated, “It is in their names — and in the memory of those who have been killed by terrorism and violent extremism — that we will continue our work to end this scourge, once and for all.”
Azali Assoumani, President of Comoros spoke in his capacity as the Chairperson of the African Union.
He said, “the sharing of relevant information, intelligence, coordination of our operations are key to build on our accomplishments as always to prevent and fight against terrorism and other cross border threats.”
President Assoumani urged the Security Council to “redouble its efforts and strengthen the cooperation between the African Union and the United Nations in prevention, it is less costly in the long-term.”
He added, “The UN action plan against terrorism and violent extremism would have a very solid impact if it had been provided with the necessary resources.”
Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, President of Mozambique also spoke at the Council in the capacity as the nation’s leader. His country is also holding the Presidency of this month’s Security Council.
“On one hand, radicalization based on identity variables fueled by intolerance, and on the other hand, the manipulation of socioeconomic factors have accelerated recruitment to terrorist groups, particularly of the youth. The association of terrorists transnational, organized crime has contributed for the survival and spread of terrorist groups.”
President Nyusi also said, “On the African continent level, the terrorist groups are active and more incidents in northern Africa, the Sahel, Central Africa, the Horn of Africa, east Africa and southern Africa.”
He reiterated that Mozambique is a direct target of terrorist attacks since October 2017, add that “these acts are causing deaths and destruction and slowing down the development agenda for the welfare of our peoples.”
