Council urges the Forces Nouvelles to cooperate fully with the CNDDR, with a view to facilitating the beginning of the DDR as soon as possible; 8. Stresses also the need for the effective functioning of the Government and greater cohesion between its members to enable it fully assume its responsibilities in the implementation of the programme of the National Reconciliation Government as well as the need for a regular evaluation of the functioning of the latter; 9.
