- Summary: (AD1) UNITED NATIONS (APRIL 23, 2007) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) DUMISANI KHUMALO, SOUTH AFRICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS, SAYING: "We have said that we haven't made up our minds on Kosovo, but we have questions that we have raised. How do you then give a group of people independence when they are within a state. This is an implication for us in Africa, because the people in the south of Sudan don't want to live in Sudan, the people in the east of the Congo don't want to be part of the Congo, so we have to do it in a way that doesn't upset and create problems for us in Africa."
