The (Brazilian) government does not believe carrying out this sentence will contribute to bringing peace to Iraq". — Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brazil

The things Obama wants us to be bipartisan on are fundamentally wrong and have very little popular support.

We do not want a united Germany. This would lead to a change to postwar borders, and we cannot allow that because such a development would undermine the stability of the whole international situation and could endanger our security.

Touted as a legislation that will promote unity, it has done exactly the opposite. It has divided this country, apparently and sadly along racial lines. (on the government's controversial Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill, which Ganilau opposes).

I cannot approve of my government entering into negotiations with people who assassinated our leaders.

There are States with which we are at odds, and which could not be in any case our natural allies.... It is thus my opinion that the interests of Germany do not coincide with those of the small Powers.

It is not quite reasonable to expect of our Govern­ment that it should lead us in the direction of Islamic integrity and solidarity—while that integrity and solidarity are absent in our own behavior.

Observing recent developments in the country, it seems evident that the government lacks commitment to achieving the Southern African Development Community (SADC) declaration for 30% representation of women.

I support the effort of government to bring about reconciliation and unity but this cannot be achieved through a Bill that has caused so much opposition, division and confusion in the country.

[Referring to the "Olive line"] That division makes federation impossible – inconceivable, in my opinion.

So I would like to say to the opposition especially the UPND President Mr. Hichilema that it is not right to compare himself to President Lungu who is the sitting head of state.

Whatever is calculated to weaken or impair the strength of Union, whether originating at the North or the South, whether arising from the incendiary violence of abolitionists, or from the coalition of nullifiers, will never meet with my unqualified approval.

Those who violently besieged our Capitol are the opposite of everything this administration stands for.

In my opinion, the Union Government's decision to impose President's rule in UP is flawed. That some members of the House indulged in violence and unruly behaviour does not warrant the conclusion that the government of the state cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.
