鈥淭here are less than six weeks left before听听and nine years before 2030. For Africa, the year 2030 will be marked by a drop in GDP of up to 15听per cent听reduction in agricultural yields and a sharp increase in the risk of coastal flooding and in island countries,鈥� Mr.听Tshilombo听said.听听

He听noted听that, to cope with听the听negative impacts听of climate change, the African continent will need $30 billion听a听year听to adapt. This amount听should听increase to around $50 billion by 2040.听

鈥淎frica does not need charity,鈥� but constructive win-win partnerships to make better use of its collective national wealth and improve the living conditions of its people, he stressed.听

Mr.听Tshilombo听was speaking at UN Headquarters at the opening of the high-level week of the听General Assembly. After being held virtually last year due the听coronavirus听pandemic, this year鈥檚 gathering will feature 鈥渉ybrid鈥� activities that will include leaders in person along with virtual participants.听听

Debt and financial support听听

Speaking about the听COVID-19听pandemic, he said Africa听鈥淎frica has not folded its arms and does not intend to capitulate鈥澨齮o the听virus but听stressed all the difficulties the countries are facing.听听

He听welcomed听initiatives听related to听financing of听the听economies, in particular those of the G20 on the suspension of debt service and the common framework for debt restructuring, and听pointed to the听allocation of听$650 billion in special drawing rights (SDRs) from the International Monetary Fund ().听

For him,听the $33 billion allocated to Africa听鈥渁re insufficient in view of the immensity of its economic stimulus needs.鈥澨齌he African Union听supports听the objective of the Paris Summit,听$100 billion听in听SDR for听the continent.听听

UN Mission听

Regarding the withdrawal of the UN Mission (), he agreed to the timeline approved by the听UN听Security Council, with a听transition period听that expires in 2024.听听

He asked听for听the process to be 鈥済radual, responsible and听orderly鈥� and听said he听expects听鈥渢he United Nations and the Security Council to give all the necessary means to MONUSCO and its Rapid Intervention Brigade so that they fulfill their mandates.鈥澨�

鈥淭his is to ensure that the troops deployed have the required capabilities and means, including the necessary training to meet the requirements of the reality on the ground and the asymmetric warfare currently waged by armed groups and Islamist terrorists,鈥� he explained.听

Speaking about the elections scheduled for 2023, he said he hopes to contribute to 鈥渢he organization of听a听free, transparent, inclusive and credible鈥澨齰ote.听听

The threat of terrorism听

On the topic of听peace and security,听the resident said 鈥渢he scourge of insecurity caused by the cohorts of terrorists, armed groups, mercenaries and criminals of all stripes is undermining the institutional stability of young democracies and destroying the efforts of many African leaders to develop their countries.鈥澨�

He听argued that听the听fight against DAESH听was听won in the Middle East,听but in Africa听鈥淎QIM and other groups affiliated with DAESH are gaining听more听ground every day鈥�, in places like听Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Burkina Faso.听听

About his country,听he said听鈥渋slamist鈥澨齠undamentalism has reached the east鈥澨齩f the听territory, which听is听鈥減aying a heavy price in the provinces of听Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema.鈥澨�

鈥淎frica refuses to serve as a base for international terrorism鈥�, he听added.听

Economy and development听听

Recently, political crises have erupted in a few听Member States, but听Mr.听Tshilombo听argued that听鈥渢hese crises cannot obscure the enormous progress made by the majority of African countries in terms of democracy and good governance.鈥澨�

鈥淭his is how the Congolese people continue their noble and exhilarating struggle against dictatorship, autocracy and the values 鈥嬧�媡hat still structure our actions,鈥� he said.听

Last June, the Democratic Republic of Congo entered into a听programme听with the IMF and听is currently听benefitting听from the assistance of the World Bank to carry out major social projects and basic infrastructure.听Mr.听Tshilombo听spoke of 鈥渃ourageous reforms鈥� that should accelerate听economic growth accelerated to over 5听per cent听a year.听听

He ended his speech addressing the 鈥渆ndless problematic of the reform of the United Nations and of the representation of Africa within its听Security Council.鈥澨�
