Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Syria - Central African Republic - Guatemala/Honduras - Covid-19/Asia and the Pacific - Libya Shipwreck - Honour Roll SYRIA   In the Security Council today or at least virtually in the Security Council, Geir Pedersen, the Special Envoy for Syria, told Council members by videoconference that the last 10 months have been the calmest in the history of the Syrian conflict. Frontlines have barely shifted. But, he added, this is a fragile calm that could break down at any moment.   Mr. Pedersen said the conflict is highly internationalized, with five foreign armies active in Syria. We cannot pretend that the solutions are only in the hands of the Syrians, or that the UN can do it alone, he said.   The Special Envoy said he continues to help the Syrian-led, Syrian-owned, UN-facilitated Constitutional Committee, adding that the Fifth Session of its Small Body will convene in Geneva next week as we told you - from 25 to 29 January - COVID-19 conditions permitting of course.   Mark Lowcock, the Emergency Relief Coordinator, told the Council members the value of Syria’s currency has drastically declined, causing food prices to increase. He warned of bread shortages and a decline in domestic wheat production.    He added that there were signs that Syria is now experiencing a new wave of COVID-19 infections.   CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC   Moving to the Central African Republic, Denise Brown, the Humanitarian Coordinator, is concerned about disruptions to the country’s main supply route because of the violence. This road connects the country’s capital, Bangui, to both the country and the closest port in Cameroon.   Ms. Brown strongly condemned the attacks on a convoy of humanitarian and commercial trucks that took place two days ago. The attack by armed combatants took place near the Cameroonian border.  Three truck drivers were injured.   The disruption of the supply route prevents the safe and timely delivery of vital aid, as well as commercial goods. More than 1,600 trucks are estimated to be blocked at the border with Cameroon. This includes 500 trucks with critical UN and partners’ supplies, such as food, medicines, and non-food items.    The disruption to the delivery of supplies to and within the Central African Republic has resulted in significant spikes in food prices across the country, both for imported and locally produced goods. Meanwhile, over a third of the population, that’s 1.9 million people, face high levels of acute food insecurity.   In 2021, 2.8 million people – that’s more than half of the population of the Central African Republic– will need humanitarian assistance and protection. Nearly 200,000 people have been newly displaced inside the country since violence and tensions broke out in connection with the general elections in December. About half of them have since returned.   GUATEMALA/HONDURAS   A note from Central America, where our UN teams in Guatemala and Honduras are working with governments and partners to protect a caravan of migrants who are currently in Guatemala.   The UN Children’s Fund, the UN Migration agency, the UN Refugee agency and the UN Human Rights Office are all on the ground. They are focusing on care and protection of unaccompanied children, observation of compliance with international human rights standards and the national legislation, as well as the distribution of water, food and hygiene kits. An assisted voluntary return programme has also been established and the UN team is monitoring that flow of people.   In Honduras, the UN team is working with the government to prepare for the voluntary return of Honduran migrants. Official estimates led the UN team and authorities to prepare for the return of 1,500 migrants, many of them are children.    Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=20%20January%202021

United Nations Video: Current desert locust situation & FAO’s response - Press Conference (19 January 2021)

Related Videos On: Current desert locust situation & FAO’s response - Press Conference (19 January 2021)

A senior official at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said significant progress has been made in the combat against Desert Locust in the Horn of Africa but stressed that “we should not be complacent” as the threat persists. At virtual press conference held today (19 Jan), Dominique Burgeon, FAO’s Director of Emergencies and Resilience said since the beginning of operations to fight the pest, 1.6 million hectares of land have been treated. He said national capacities in the affected countries have been augmented through the deployment of surveillance and control capacities, but the situation was not over. Burgeon said favourable conditions for locust breed persist, particularly following a cyclone in December which brough huge quantities of water to the Horn of Africa. He said the Organization must be prepared to sustain effort for a longer period of time. The FAO official said the Organization issued a revised appeal for 38 million USD on December 16 to sustain efforts in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Sudan, which still had a funding gap of 37.3 million dollars to to continue operations in the countries. Dominique Burgeon, Director of Emergencies and Resilience, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO): "What is important to realize is that with the current level of funding that we have, we will have to stop or significantly scale down our operations in Kenya in late March, in Ethiopia on first of March, and in Somalia on 15 of March. So, really what we have been doing is again trying to draw the attention. We have made a step forward, we are much better prepared, but we should not be complacent. We should not relax. We should continue our efforts to continue this response over the coming months." Keith Cressman, Senior Locust Forecasting Officer at FAO said because of the heavy rains in December, a number of swarms formed in eastern Ethiopia and central Somalia. He said as conditions dried out, the swarms migrated to northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia as forecasted and are moving west. Cressman said swarms will lay eggs and form new swarms by early April. He added, “As you know, early April coincides with the seasonal rains in Kenya, in southern Ethiopia, as well as with the planting period. This is a cause of concern and this is also why it is extremely important that the control operations, as Dominique mentioned, are not disrupted.” Responding to questions, the Senior Locust Forecasting Officer said the forecast for 2021 compared to 2020 is “less dire.” He added that there are less swarms than there were one year ago, largely due the control operations that have been going on since then, and the increased upscaling of operations. However, Cressman stressed that the situation “remains extremely serious,” but noted that countries are “much better prepared, much more experienced than they were” a year ago.

Related Videos On: Central African Republic, Mali, South Sudan & other topics - Daily Briefing (19 January 2021)

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Central African Republic - Mali - South Sudan - Ethiopia - Libya - Syria - Israel/Palestine - India - Mozambique - Madagascar - U.N. Conference On Trade And Development CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC In the Central African Republic, today, the peacekeeping mission on the ground (MINUSCA) tells us that the security situation remains fragile throughout the country. Peacekeepers continue to maintain a robust posture to ensure the protection of civilians. You will have also seen that, yesterday afternoon, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the head of Peace Operations, joined senior officials from the African Union, the Economic Commission of Central African States (ECCAS) and the European Union, in issuing a joint statement. The statement took note of the decision of the Central African Constitutional court, which proclaimed the final results of last month’s presidential election. In their joint statement, they called on all actors to accept the results of the elections as certified by the Court, and reaffirmed their commitment to political dialogue, the consolidation of peace and democracy. The UN mission will continue to provide its multifaceted support to complete the electoral process, particularly the legislative elections.  Also on the Central African Republic, we have a few more details on yesterday’s attack in the country. Two peacekeepers – one from Gabon and one Morocco – were killed near Bangassou, in the Mbomou prefecture, by alleged combatants from the Coalition of Patriots for Change, the CPC. The Secretary-General expressed his deep condolences to the families of the peacekeepers, and to the people and Governments of Gabon and Morocco. The Secretary-General also reiterated his grave concern over the escalation of violence in the Central African Republic, and called on all parties to immediately cease hostilities, to engage in dialogue to advance the political process, preserve fragile gains and fulfil the country’s aspirations for lasting peace.  Already this year, as you will have noted, nine UN peacekeepers have been killed in incidents around the world. The Secretary-General said this demonstrates, yet again, the perilous environment in which peacekeepers carry out their mandates to protect people and support peace processes. The task is made harder by the global pandemic. While progress has been made in reducing casualties among UN peacekeepers, recent incidents show that the threat continues. Our collective efforts to ensure the safety of peacekeepers, including through the Action for Peacekeeping initiative, need to keep pace. The Secretary-General salutes the service, the sacrifice and the selflessness of the women and men who are serving, or have lost their lives while serving, under the flag of the UN in some of the world’s most dangerous places. MALI The Head of Peace Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix is still in Mali today. We wanted to note that, this morning, at the headquarters of the UN Mission (MINUSCA) in Bamako, he took part in a ceremony to honour the memory of the peacekeepers killed last week.  The head of the Peacekeeping Mission in Mali, Mahamet Saleh Annadif, also attended the ceremony. Since his arrival in the country, Mr. Lacroix has had a series of meetings with political leaders and the UN’s partners. His visit will continue tomorrow. SOUTH SUDAN From South Sudan, the UN Mission (UNMISS) says it is deploying additional troops and resources to Bunj in the Upper Nile region following recent clashes. The Mission said it is enhancing its peacekeepers’ ability to conduct more frequent patrols. Peacekeepers recently assessed the security situation in the area. They met with county commissioners and others to understand what the community is experiencing, given the current instability and tensions. The Mission is also helping to deliver humanitarian aid to those in need. Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=19%20January%202021

UN political chief Rosemary DiCarlo said, despite UN efforts, “heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf region persist,” and urged “all concerned in the region and beyond to opt for dialogue to address their respective security concerns." At a virtual meeting of the Security Council to discuss cooperation with the League of Arab States (LAS), DiCarlo said conflicts in Libya, Syria and Yemen, as well as a stalled Middle East peace process and fissures among Arab states exacerbated regional stability and hampered economic and social development. She said cooperation between the UN and the League remained crucial to address these situations and noted that the two organizations worked to uphold regional and international consensus on the two-state solution and intra-Palestinian reconciliation. DiCarlo said, “The two-state solution that realizes the legitimate national aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis in line with UN resolutions is the only way to lead to sustainable peace between the two peoples.” The UN political chief stressed that heightened tensions persist in the Persian Gulf region. She said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “continues to call for restraint by all sides and stresses the need to avoid acts or rhetoric that may escalate tensions.” She added, “We urge all concerned in the region and beyond to opt for dialogue to address their respective security concerns." DiCarlo welcomed the recent al-Ula declaration recognizing the importance of unity among the Gulf Cooperation Council states and hope it will strengthen regional security, stability and prosperity.

Related Videos On: Libya, Mali, Dr. Martin Luther King Day & other topics - Daily Briefing (18 January 2021)

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Libya - Central African Republic - Mali - The Sahel - Burkina Faso - Yemen - Sudan - Palestine - Secretary-General/Group Of 77 - Covid-19/ Brazil - Dr. Martin Luther King Day - Noon Briefing Guests Tomorrow - Honour Roll LIBYA The Secretary-General is appointing Ján Kubiš of Slovakia as his Special Envoy on Libya and Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).    The Secretary-General is grateful for the commitment and outstanding leadership of the Acting Special Representative Stephanie T. Williams of the United States in moving the political process forward in Libya.    Mr. Kubiš has served as the Special Coordinator for the UN Lebanon since 2019. He also led the UN mission in Iraq, and he brings with him many years of experience in diplomacy, foreign security policy, and international economic relations, both internationally and in at home in Slovakia.  Mr. Kubiš will take up his function in early February. Ms. Williams will continue as Acting Special Representative through January to ensure a smooth transition.  The Secretary-General commends the Advisory Committee of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum for its constructive discussions during its meeting in Geneva, that took place from the 13th  to the 16th of  January. The Secretary-General commends in particular the decisive role played by women representatives and the Southern members to forge a consensus on a recommended mechanism for the selection of the executive authority, in accordance with the Roadmap adopted in Tunis last November.  The Secretary-General calls on the members of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum to participate constructively in the vote on the selection mechanism and press ahead on the path to national elections on the 24th of December this year.  He reiterates the support of the UN to the Libyan people for their efforts to advance peace and stability.  Stephanie Williams also told the press on Saturday that she was pleased that the Advisory Committee members had risen to the occasion.  They met their responsibility with a constructive spirit, cooperative efforts, and a great deal of patriotism, she said. She congratulated them on reaching an agreement on a recommended selection mechanism, which is being voted on today. They have taken a decisive step towards meeting the goals that were set in Tunis, she added.  And yesterday, on Sunday, Ms. Williams logged in to a virtual chat with 1,000 Libyans, the majority of whom hailed from all regions of the country.  CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC In the Central African Republic, two United Nations peacekeepers lost their lives today.    This happened on the Bangassou-Gambo axis, after peacekeepers came under fire. More details will be available shortly, including a statement from the Secretary-General.  The Mission also reported in a statement that combatants have left the city of Bangassou, in Mbomou prefecture, on Friday and that UN peacekeepers are now fully in control of that city. The Mission also reports that it escorted a convoy of 30 commercial vehicles from Bangui to the border with Cameroon yesterday; that’s the first since the free movement of vehicles was halted on 19 December due to the security situation along that route.  And finally, the Constitutional Court in Bangui confirmed President Touadéra’s victory in the presidential elections, that were held on the 27th December. We expect a joint statement from the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States and the European Union on this issue shortly.  MALI Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the Head of Peace Operations, has arrived in Mali yesterday and will be there until Thursday.  You will have seen that the Secretary-General strongly condemned another attack against a UN convoy in the country. That attack took place on Friday, near Tessalit in the Kidal region.  It resulted in the death of one Egyptian peacekeeper and serious injuries to another.   The Secretary-General expressed his deepest condolences to the bereaved family, as well as to the people and Government of Egypt. He wishes a speedy and full recovery to the injured peacekeeper.    He added that the UN will spare no efforts in supporting the Malian authorities in identifying and promptly bringing to justice the perpetrators of this heinous attack.   Between the events in the Central African Republic and Mali in the last week, the UN has lost 9 peacekeepers, killed in hostile incidents.  Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=18%20January%202021

As a standoff between tens of thousands of protesting farmers and the Indian government continues to intensify over new legislation farmers claim will threaten their livelihoods, Taz Dhaliwal looks back at the factors that led to the demonstrations that have garnered international attention. Farmers in India have been rallying for months against three agricultural laws enacted Sept. 20 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The Indian government has argued the changes will give farmers more freedom, but farmers are concerned the new laws will drive down their products’ prices with no safeguards to protect them against corporate takeovers and exploitation. But the crisis in India's agricultural sector is nothing new as the industry has been suffering for decades. Taz explains.

Now, decades later, as countries struggle with high unemployment rates and a global recession in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, debate around whether Canada should have a national basic income has resurfaced. Critics say Canada can’t afford it. Advocates say it’s the best way to address the social inequities and welfare gaps the pandemic exposed, and maybe even better prepare Canada for the next global crisis.
