(b) Holding the twelfth ministerial meeting of the Standing Advisory Committee at N'Djamena from 27 to 30 October 1999

The release from N Djamena jails in the past months of several opponents today in the ranks of Séléka supports such suspicion.

The Secretary General shares the concern at the continuing violation of the N'Djamena Ceasefire Agreement by all sides in Darfur and at the increasing deterioration in the security situation over the past four months.

(a) Holding the Subregional Conference on the Proliferation of and Illicit Traffic in Small Arms in Central Africa at N'Djamena from 25 to 27 October 1999

The joint communiqué and Security Council resolution 1556 (2004) called on the United Nations to assist the African Union to deploy ceasefire monitors, as called for in the N'Djamena Ceasefire Agreement.

It demands the SLM A, the JEM and the Government of the Sudan to immediately cease violence, comply with the N'Djamena ceasefire agreement, end impediments to the peace process and cooperate fully with the African Union Mission.

Though they are not signatories to the joint communiqué, the armed movements have comparable obligations under the N'Djamena Ceasefire Agreement, the two Abuja protocols of November 2004 and Security Council resolutions.

Taken together, these trends suggest that the leadership of the armed movements are failing to adhere to the Humanitarian Ceasefire Agreement (the N'Djamena Agreement of April 2004) and related protocols and to restrain their fighters from criminal behaviour.

Finally, the Government pledged to ensure that immediate action is taken to rebuild the confidence of the vulnerable population and that any return of the displaced to their homes is done in a truly voluntary manner in line with the current Humanitarian Ceasefire Agreement (the N'Djamena Agreement of April 2004).

Condemning the continued violations of the N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement of 8 April 2004 and the Abuja Protocols of 9 November 2004 by all sides in Darfur and the deterioration of the security situation and the negative impact this has had on humanitarian assistance efforts,

During that period, despite the signing of the N'Djamena Ceasefire Agreement in April 2004, the armed movements clashed numerous times with Government forces, the paramilitary Popular Defence Forces, tribal based militias (commonly referred to as Janjaweed) or some combination thereof.
