UN REPRESENTATIVE IN BISSAU: patience has a limit
"It 's frustrating to continue to see the Guinea Bissau sinking more and more," said Joseph Mutaboba
The Special Representative of UN Secretary-General for Guinea-Bissau, Joseph Mutaboba, appeals to the international community not to leave the country ", but admits that" patience has limits "and" recurrent crises "are frustrating for those who want to help. Apparently, the international community is beginning to be tired of so much incompetence.
In an interview with Lusa in Brussels, where he made a four-day visit for talks with senior European Commission , Joseph Mutaboba said he was "definitely on the side of Portugal and other partners" who claim that this is not the time to leave "the Guinea Bissau alone. "
Tuttavia, capisce quegli Stati che si chiedono se vale la pena continuare ad assistere e "buttare i soldi" in un paese in preda alle convulsioni "ricorrenti", l'ultima delle quali è l'azione militare del 1 aprile scorso, che ha portato, per esempio l'Unione europea a rinviare una decisione su una futura missione di riforma del settore della sicurezza che dia continuità a quella attuale.
"E 'una reazione naturale, il senso di frustrazione. E ci sentiamo frustrati, continuando a vedere la Guinea-Bissau ad affondare sempre di più, e questo è molto frustrante. Ci sono persone che vogliono aiutare, assistere, ma ciò richiede la partecipazione dell'aiutato ", ha detto, sottolineando che l'altra parte, ha solo produced "a series of crises caused by repeated unresolved issues."
For the Special Representative of the United Nations is needed by the international community to rethink the forms of assistance, trying to understand what has not gone well so far, but it is especially important that the authorities of Guinea, civil and military, understand that it is time to end what he described as "opportunistic alliances alternate, fights and revenge.
L 'image' that makes what has occurred is:" Today I am with this, tomorrow I'm with that, tomorrow after someone is killed, then another, and a series of setbacks and revenge. "
"You have to stop and tell them, ladies and gentlemen, is your country, your future is the future of your country, he says, hoping that the other side the elite of Guinea Bissau known that their country is highly dependent on international aid, and realize "that there is a limit to patience, that patience has its limits."
In this sense, the special representative of UN Secretary-General understands the reluctance of some countries to continue helping but believes that would be a mistake to leave the country today.
"The message that I shared with our partners in Brussels and various bilateral partners is that although the situation in Guinea-Bissau, generated by events April 1, is not the time to leave alone Bissau. It 's time instead of seeing how we can all think together in a more active, "he said.
" I'm definitely on the side of Portugal is not the time to leave Guinea-Bissau, just when they most need, "said He added that "probably" will demand "change strategy", strengthening the cooperation of various actors to make it more effective.
Regarding the extension or not of the EU mission, said esssere from Brussels with the feeling that "all and 27 members are not necessarily agree with the final position to take, but this discussion is not closed, is an ongoing debate, and stop and review what was not well done "can be a very useful exercise."
