Thank you. Our mediation does not include peacekeepers. Peacekeepers go to places where there is a fight. In Zimbabwe, there is no fight. [Interjections.] What has happened in Zimbabwe has been the request for people to come and monitor elections. That is how I've heard Tsvangirai speaking, that in the coming election he will ask the Southern African Development Community to monitor them.
You bring in peacekeepers where there is a fight, where you want to stop a fight. I haven't heard Tsvangirai talk about peacekeepers. I've heard him talk about monitoring and observing the election.
That is not what we are debating at the moment. We are dealing with the implementation of the plan. Probably, once the issue of the election emerges as an issue on the agenda, that matter will arise, and I am sure it will be attended to at that time. Thank you. [Applause.]
Lessons learnt from involvement in peace processes in Sudan 10. Dr G W Koornhof (ANC) asked the President of the Republic:
Whether the government has learnt any lessons from its involvement in the peace processes that culminated in elections in Sudan; if so, how will it assist the government in achieving its foreign policy objectives on the continent? NO1735E
