UN Radio : So everybody has been reintegrated into the army ?
SRSG Choi : Not in the army but politically everybody accepts the electoral process and the identification process. Disarmament itself and reintegration of the army into one army is a big question discussed within the framework of Ouaga Four. The concept now is they will have three elements in it : the army 5,000, police and gendarmerie 4,000 and the rest of the ex-combatants will receive 1,000 dollars each as compensation. They will go back to their villages. It is a very simple scheme. I hope it works and there is progress now in terms of re-establishment of state authority in the north, which must be completed by 2 February 2009. The progress is there, so we hope we will soon realize this important objective.
