use of force has not led to any curbing of extremism. Indeed, the security and humanitarian crises are worse than ever. We must therefore take a more comprehensive approach in tackling the extremists — an approach that includes encouraging the Transitional Federal Government to much more aggressively pursue its commitment to a more inclusive political process, by bringing into the Government all forces that eschew violence. Such outreach to all moderates can succeed only with much greater international support. It is regrettable that many pledges made at the Brussels donors conference have yet to be honoured. I call upon all those who have not honoured their pledges to do so immediately.

We need to reform 09-52470 30 the international financial governance institutions, so that they can prevent crises and develop more effective and equitable responses to them.
