SV SOUNDBITE (English) ADAMS "The British government needs to move ahead. there is no pre-condition within this agreement or within the whole process and therefore while there is obviously in all the armed groups and onus to live up to their commitments, it is up to the politicians and those in political leadership to forge ahead.
