The international community must not lose patience in view of the mixed results achieved so far.

The United Nations must always show the way and inspire the necessary efforts to bring together the means necessary in the struggle and to coordinate them with the States concerned. Seychelles also expresses solidarity with all African countries affected by conflict or instability.
