lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the newly elected President Deby has made wonderful promises to his people, the European Union and the World Bank. He announced that he would tackle the widespread corruption and would respect human rights. He was going to remove his country from the poverty spiral with the aid of oil revenues. Is Deby aware that he is irrevocably bound to honour the agreements he has made? The World Bank did not put almost NLG 4 billion into the oil project lightly. Nor are the European Cotonou resources unconditional. The aid creates obligations but all the indications are that the president is trying to wriggle out of them. Deby used part of the oil consortium’s advance millions to acquire weapons. In so doing he broke his promise to the World Bank that he would use the money to fight poverty. The elections appear to have been heavily rigged. The restrictions on press freedom and the arbitrary arrests among the opposition once again underline the lack of democracy. Europe must make it clear to Deby that he cannot break his word with impunity."@en1
