Through the adoption of successive measures, the government of the United States has been applying new prohibitions on all countries with regard to products and services that cannot be exported or transported to Cuba. 2:53:36Copy

It nonetheless requires appropriate transition measures capable of consolidating these gains and shielding the country from external shocks. It is as part of this effort of consolidation and that the energy transition finds its place. 8:19:26Copy

     • And I thus reaffirm the determination with which Cameroon will work along with other member states of the Lake Chad Basin Commission. We will continue to fight tirelessly against terrorism, and we will engage in stabilization efforts in areas affected around the Lake Chad region. On a domestic level, the government of my country is working to ensure a return to normality in our northwest and southwest regions. Our government's efforts when it comes to fighting insecurity and social reintegration of those people that are willing to set aside violence are already delivering tangible and observable results on the ground. 9:27:08Copy

     • I'd like to be perfectly clear here. This choice does not mean we are renouncing our responsibilities, nor are we becoming a refuge against justice, and even less so are we being complacent in the face of impunity. We will continue to strengthen our national courts and support credible, independent and effective African mechanisms that can protect victims and prosecute the perpetrators of the most serious crimes. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, nationally speaking, by the grace of God and thanks to the maturity of its people, Chad remains a country of peace and stability, despite the numerous domestic challenges it faces and the crises that threaten its borders. 11:30:26Copy
