MaximsNewsNetwork: U.N. MDGs SUMMIT: RWANDA, SOMALIA, CHAD, HAITI, MALDIVES (UNTV)

MaximsNewsNetwork: 22 September 2010 - UNTV: United Nations, New York - With only five years left until the 2015 deadline to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a summit of world leaders continued yesterday at the United Nations in New York) aiming to accelerate progress towards the achieving the goals; during the afternoon session the following world leaders addressed the UN General Assembly: Rwanda's President, Paul Kagame, Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, Haiti's Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive and others from Chad, and the Maldives.

Rwanda's President, Paul Kagame said that the MDG agenda had, at times been dominated by a few voices from developed nations and affiliated Nongovernmental Organizations, and that despite their good intentions, "their perspective was often predicated on paternalism not partnership, on charity not self- reliance, and on promises unfulfilled rather than real change on the ground."

Kagame said that the developing world needed to reflect on how they had driven the agenda so far, "and why we are lagging behind in achieving the targets".

Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed told the Assembly that a group of terrorists was presently preventing Somalia from being a part of those development targets. He pleaded to the international community to help Somalia in order to overcome the situation and free it "from this difficult terrorist organization that holds Somalia back."

Haiti's Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive said that the situation was far from desperate. On the contrary, he said adding that Haiti is progressing in breaking the vicious circle of poverty, reducing vulnerabilities, increasing the investment sectors while creating jobs and encouraging the growth and supply of basic social services.

The Assembly's high-level debate seeks to take stock and identify what needs to be done to reach the Goals, which include slashing poverty, combating disease, fighting hunger, protecting the environment and boosting education, in the next five years.

The high-level debate will wrap up tomorrow, and it is expected that participants will adopt an outcome document reaffirming their commitment to cooperating for the good of economic and social advancement.
