All of that has been done, |
in a manner that does not negatively affect the peace process. |
It is not for the parties in the Ivory Coast to determine when the mediation will end, |

It's not for us to say who must be punished and who must not be punished. Ours is to make sure that the foundation of implementation is there and we think that has been done, |
Only when we fulfil (our promises) will people vote us back time after time. We go into the local government elections with a plan to make local government work even better than before. |
South Africa is not getting ready to attack anybody and defeat them, |
The decisions of the acquisition process stand. There will be no further review. |
The negotiation process is up to the African Union and the United Nations Security Council. I told them it is up to them what action to take to make sure that the implementation happens, |

We are not keen to punish people, we are keen to solve the situation and we need to get the elections in place so that people can decide on who runs the country, ... If we find that we have sanctions in place, then we would see this as a failure. |
What now is outstanding is for the Ivorian leaders and citizens to go to work and implement the agreements in keeping with what they agreed on, |
will take the Ivory Coast into a dark period in which there is no clarity ... |
