Failed Mediation Dispute in Darfur Leaves Peacekeeper Dead, 3 Injured
- UN Confirms

AllAfrica.com - 9 hours ago
Armed men in Sudan's western region today killed a Rwandan peacekeeper
and injured three others resulting in condemnations from United
Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and senior official Mohamed Ibn
Chambas who is urging the Sudanese Government to bring those
responsible to account.

The peacekeepers were part of a UN-African Union mission (UNAMID) team
attempting to mediate a tribal dispute between Fur people and Arab
militia in a village in North Darfur.

"The Arab militia elements, nevertheless, became hostile towards
UNAMID peacekeepers and started shooting at them," the Mission said,
at which point the peacekeepers returned fire.

The three injured peacekeepers are in critical condition at an UNAMID
hospital in Kabkabiya, west of El Fasher, the North Darfur state
capital. A number of other people were also injured.

The Secretary-General has conveyed his condolences to the family of
the fallen peacekeeper and the Government of Rwanda, and wishes for a
full and speedy recovery to those injured, according to his
spokesperson.

Mr. Chambas, UNAMID Joint Special Representative condemned the
"heinous criminal act in the strongest possible terms".

"Our peacekeepers were trying to mediate the dispute in good faith and
regrettably their efforts went unappreciated," he said.

Calling for justice, the Joint Special Representative stressed that
the shootings amount "to a crime against humanity for which those
responsible must be brought to account".

Since the inception of UNAMID in 2007, at least 58 peacekeepers were
killed in hostile action in Darfur.

Inter-communal violence has increased in the region, according to Mr.
Ban's latest report to the Security Council, which last month revised
UNAMID's mandate. Among its revised responsibilities, the Mission is
to mediate between the Government and non-signatory armed movements on
the basis of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur; and to provide
support, in conjunction with the UN Country Team, to the mediation of
community conflict, including through measures to address its root
causes.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique. L'Alternance à l'OIF : Pourquoi un Troisième Mandat Fragilise la Crédibilité de la Francophonie. Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne. Ils clament que "le peuple le demande" ou que "les partenaires soutiennent" cette reconduction. Aucune preuve formelle n'est nécessaire. L'affirmation devient réalité politique. Mais voilà le problème : la Francophonie prêche la démocratie, l'État de droit et l'alternance au pouvoir. Peut-elle tolérer en son sein ce qu...

Rubaya Mine Under USA’s Control: Kagame Has No Grounds to Object.

Rubaya Mine: Strategic Interests, Regional Conflict and the DRC–USA Cooperation Framework Rubaya mine, located in Masisi territory in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a Congolese resource. It was a Congolese resource before the M23 advanced on it, it remains a Congolese resource today, and it will remain a Congolese resource regardless of what any regional actor claims, implies or pursues. That is not a political position. It is a statement of international law and sovereign right. This foundational point must be stated plainly because it is frequently obscured in discussions about the conflict in eastern Congo. Debates about security narratives, mineral partnerships and geopolitical alignment risk creating a false impression that Rubaya's ownership or governance is somehow open to negotiation between external parties. It is not. The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds sovereign authority over its territory and its natural resources. N...

Rubaya Mine Under U.S. Oversight: Why Kigali Would Struggle to Justify Opposition

Rubaya Mine Under U.S. Oversight: Why Kigali Would Struggle to Justify Opposition   The proposed transfer of operational oversight of the Rubaya mine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to the United States marks a potentially decisive shift in one of Central Africa's most contentious economic and security flashpoints. Located in North Kivu province, the Rubaya site is one of the world's most significant sources of coltan, a mineral essential to global electronics supply chains. For months, the area has been associated with the presence of armed actors, including the rebel group M23. Rwanda has repeatedly justified its regional posture by pointing to security threats posed by the FDLR, an armed group with roots in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide. However, if the mine were to come under transparent U.S.-backed administration as part of a broader cooperation framework between Kinshasa and Washington, Kigali would face limited diplomatic grounds to...
