Vor vier Jahren putschte im westafrikanischen Mali das Militär. Französische Soldaten und eine UN-Mission mussten abziehen. Stattdessen sollten russische Kämpfer helfen, den islamistischen Terror zu beenden. Doch die Erfolgsbilanz ist überschaubar. Rühl, Bettina www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund

„Ich persönlich halte eine UN-Mission nach Artikel 7 der UN-Charta für eine effektivere und nichtkontroverse Alternative“, so General a. D. Harald Kujat zu einer möglichen NATO-Friedenstruppe in der Ukraine auf einer Veranstaltung der Eurasien Gesellschaft. Eine NATO ohne die USA oder ein NATO-Austritt Deutschlands sind für Kujat undenkbar.

Despite the setback of a further two-year delay in holding elections that were promised for next month, the “silver lining” is that the UN can help South Sudan build capacity and become the “democratic, stable society” that its people deserve.That's the view of UN Special Representative and Head of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), Nicholas Haysom, who told UN News on Thursday that he is “confident” the country can progress in spite of a slew of major challenges including climate shocks and war over the border in Sudan – as long as the political will is there on the part of the country's leaders.The veteran Special Representative from South Africa – who served as chief legal adviser to Nelson Mandela – sat down with Ben Malor shortly after briefing the Security Council. 

The Special Representative of UN Secretary General in South Sudan is calling on the country's citizens and political leaders to ensure lasting peace across the country. The UN Mission in South Sudan is marking United Nations Day in Eastern Equatoria state with a call for national authorities to provide services to millions of people affected by conflict, climate shocks and extreme food insecurity. Some Eastern Equatoria state residents say UNMISS should continue to support the country. Kaltuma Vanesa reports for VOA from Torit

Nach Beschuss durch einen israelischen Panzer gestern sind heute erneut zwei Soldaten der UN-Beobachtermission Unifil im Libanon verletzt worden. Zwei Explosionen hätten sich nahe einem Wachturm in Nakura ereignet, teilte Unifil auf der Plattform X mit. Den Grund der Explosionen nannte die UN-Mission zunächst nicht.

While finalising its departure from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the UN Mission in the country, MONUSCO, remains fully engaged in assisting the country on its path to peace and stability.It's essential to ensure “women's voices are heard in the political processes that are taking place,” says Special Representative Bintou Keita, Head of MONUSCO, who was in New York for High-Level Week at the end of last month.In an interview with UN News's Jérôme Bernard she speaks about the ongoing security challenges posed by multiple armed groups in the east and what the impact on women is likely to be as MONUSCO continues its mandated withdrawal. 

World Without War and other peace groups are organizing a week of action targeting Missions to the United Nations, urging them to halt the genocide in Gaza. The groups want the UN Assembly convene an emergency session to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on the Israeli government, suspend the Israeli government from the United Nations, and send to Palestine unarmed peacekeepers. Elliot Adams of Veterans for Peace, who will be meeting with the UN Mission for South Korea, talks ot Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Nach über 14 Jahren wird die Mission der Vereinten Nationen für die Stabilisierung in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (MONUSCO) das Land schrittweise verlassen. Dieser Abzug stellt ein besonderes Ereignis dar. Die Mission ist personell gesehen die drittgrößte aktive UN-Friedensmission und ist unter anderem für den Schutz der Zivilbevölkerung verantwortlich. Gleichzeitig wurde sie wiederholt wegen Fehlverhalten der beteiligten Truppen kritisiert. Zudem reiht sich der MONUSCO-Abzug in ein größeres Phänomen ein: Die Stagnation oder sogar den Niedergang der großen UN-Friedensmissionen. Seit 2014 wurde keine größere UN-Mission mehr entsendet. Zudem werden die Missionen in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik oder in Südsudan mit Blick auf den jeweiligen Friedensprozess als stagnierend bezeichnet. Andere größere Missionen wie in Dafur in Sudan und in Mali endeten bereits 2020 bzw. 2023. Vor diesem Hintergrund sprechen Patrick Rosenow und Steve Biedermann mit Daniel Maier, der seit 2018 die strategische Planungseinheit der MONUSCO leitet. Daniel gibt einen Einblick in die aktuelle Lage, zieht Bilanz, beschreibt den schrittweisen Abzug der MONUSCO und ordnet diesen im Gespräch ein.

Seit 1987 ist die UN-Mission UNIFIL im Libanon stationiert. Was sich seit dem Hamas-Angriff auf Israel im vergangenen Oktober geändert hat, schildert Journalistin Katharina Osterhammer im Gespräch.

In Kosovo, where tensions remain high between the ethnic Albanian and ethnic Serb communities, the United Nations is leading efforts to promote open communication and dialogue.The UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) was established in 1999, well before the declaration of independence in 2008, and today plays a central role in promoting peace and security, and respect for human rights, in a region where memories of the wars of the late Twentieth Century, fought between the countries of the former Yugoslavia, are still fresh for many who suffered directly or lost loved ones.On 22 April, Caroline Ziadeh, the head of UNMIK, briefed the Security Council on the current situation in Kosovo, and the ongoing tensions between the Albanian speaking and ethnic Serb population. After the briefing, she came into the UN News studios to explain that, despite the considerable difficulties, progress in bringing together the two communities is far from impossible.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Libyan leaders agree to form new unified governmentSummary: Three leaders who have been ruling over portions of Libya since late-2021, when a planned election didn't occur because of questions about whether the primary candidates were eligible to run, have agreed that it's necessary to form a new, unity government that will run the country and oversee the organization of a new election.Context: These leaders have asked the UN Mission in Libya to support this effort, and while it seems likely, based on what's been divulged about the intended process so far, that regional nodes of power and international interests with sway in the area will be on board, some analysts have suggested there could be issues with the specifics, as all three leaders have shown themselves to be unlikely to want to give up any power, which could make the orchestration of a real-deal, un-messed-with election tricky.—ReutersOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.New fire warnings stretch from Texas to MinnesotaSummary: The US Great Plains states are awash in wildfire warnings this week, as high winds join persistent hot and dry weather to create precisely the right conditions for the emergence of new fires at a moment in which an existing blaze, the Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas, has almost, but not entirely, been contained.Context: The Smokehouse Creek Fire was apparently caused by a broken power pole and downed electrical wires, and stoked by hot, dry conditions on the ground, and that revelation has led to a flurry of lawsuits against Xcel Energy, which owns and maintains those poles and wires; this fire has already consumed more than a million acres of land, making it the largest in Texas state history, and one of the largest in US history.—BloombergAt least 26 people killed after floods and landslides hit IndonesiaSummary: Indonesia's island of Sumatra has tallied at least 26 deaths so far, following a wave of flash floods and landslides triggered by monsoon rains.Context: Nine districts and cities in the western part of the island have been underwater since late last week, and relief efforts have been limited, as power outages, blocked and destroyed infrastructure, and ongoing extreme weather have made it difficult to get aid where it's needed.—Al JazeeraThe market price of gold has been on a tear, recently hitting a new record high and as a consequence elevating concerns that inflation might not be as handled as regulators think (as gold tends to be an asset you invest in to counter instability and uncertainty, not something you buy when you think the market is stable and on a good path).—Quartz704%Increase in deepfake “face swap” attacks, in which hackers use AI face swap tools (which automate the process of putting one person's face on another's body in images or videos) to bypass remote identification verifications processes.These tools are cheap or free, and are fast and easy to use.

The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) was established on April 25, 2013 to stabilize the country after the Tuareg rebellion of 2012. In June 2023, a new government that had come to power in a coup withdrew the mandate, forcing the mission and all of its staff to depart the country by the end of the year. Joe Ruzicka served as the Senior Advisor to the Commanding General, as well as the Senior U.S. Military Observer to MINUSMA, during that turbulent time. He is in the studio with guest hosts Jonny Drake and TJ Moffatt to discuss his experiences in Mali and why the mission ended. It's the second of a two-part episode that examines the pros and cons of how the UN mission in Mali was conducted.

Die Slowakei blockiert bereits die Ukraine-Hilfe, der US-Kongress ist zerstritten und Kanzler Scholz zögert in der Taurus-Frage. Bröckelt jetzt etwa die Unterstützung für die Ukraine? Russland dürfte sich über die ersten Risse in der Allianz des Westens freuen, schätzt Carsten Schmiester die Entwicklung hinter den Kulissen ein. Im Schwerpunkt geht es um die Bundeswehr in Afrika. Deutsche Soldaten müssen bis Ende des Jahres ihre UN-Mission in Mali beenden. Der Abzug ist aber alles andere als ungefährlich, sagt Kai Küstner im Podcast. Er hat als einer von wenigen westlichen Journalisten letzte Woche das Land besucht und einen Blick in die Materialschleuse der Bundeswehr geworfen. Dort werden Pistolen in Einzelteile zerlegt, G36-Gewehre und Fuchs-Transportpanzer vom roten Wüstensand gereinigt. Neben den Soldaten müssen auch noch 600 Container ausgeflogen werden. Der Zeitplan ist sehr knapp bemessen, auf den letzten Metern darf nichts mehr schief gehen, so die Einschätzung der Beteiligten.

“Nieder mit Frankreich”, “Es lebe Putin”, solche Rufe sind zu hören auf den Demonstrationen in Niger, die den Militärputsch befürworten. Da hat sich viel Ärger und Frust angestaut in einem der ärmsten Länder der Welt. Es ist ein klarer Bruch mit der Kolonialmacht Frankreich, die noch heute wirtschaftlich großen Einfluss hat. Es ist auch eine politische Absage an den gesamten Westen. Dabei braucht man den Niger, um Flucht und Migration einzudämmen und auch um den Abzug der Bundeswehr aus Mali zu organisieren. Das Versprechen, den Terror im Land, und in der Sahelzone insgesamt zu besiegen, konnten UN-Mission und französische Armee auch nicht einlösen. Einer der Nutznießer: Russland und die Wagnertruppe. Wohin steuert das Land Niger? In welchem größeren Zusammenhang steht dieser Putsch? Welche Fragen müssen sich europäische Regierungen gefallen lassen? Und was bedeutet dieser Putsch ganz praktisch für Deutschland? Wir sprechen darüber u.a. mit der Afrika-Expertin und Politologin Antonia Witt vom Leibniz-Institut Hessische Stiftung Friedens- und Konfliktforschung, mit Gregor Robak-Werth von der “Aktion gegen den Hunger”, mit Ulf Laessing von der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, zuständig für die Sahelzone, und mit dem Historiker und Afrikawissenschaftler Andreas Becker.

The continuing battle for control of Sudan between rival militaries has had a destabilizing effect on the contested area of Abyei claimed by both Sudan and South Sudan, for both the UN mission there, UNIFSA, and the civilians they are mandated to protect.That's according to Major General Benjamin Sawyerr, acting head and Force Commander for UNIFSA, who said the months-long clashes have seen close to 6,000 flee into Abyei and forced the mission to switch all its supply routes to South Sudan, increasing costs and logistical challenges.

Season 5, episode 6: Blue helmets have become one of the most visible signs of the UN in the world. These peacekeepers are sent where often nobody else wants to go and asked to accomplish what nobody else often will. After 70 years of service, UN peacekeeping has seen its successes and its well-publicized failures. So in this episode, we took a more thematic approach to multilateralism to look at the role that peacekeeping plays. When did it begin and why? How has it evolved over the years and how effective has it been? How might it change still to meet today's challenges? We discussed these questions and more with peacekeeping expert and Georgetown colleague, Dr. Lise Howard. Lise Morjé Howard is Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University and President of the Academic Council on the United Nations System. Her research and teaching interests span the fields of international relations, comparative politics, and conflict resolution.

Her book UN Peacekeeping in Civil Wars (Cambridge University Press 2008), about organizational learning, won the 2010 book award from the Academic Council on the UN System. Her recent book, Power in Peacekeeping (Cambridge University Press 2019) is based on field research in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, and Namibia. It won the 2021 book award from the International Security Studies Section of the International Studies Association.  Dr. Howard earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from UC, Berkeley, and her A.B. in Soviet Studies from Barnard College, Columbia University. She has held yearlong fellowships at Stanford University, Harvard University, and the U.S. Institute of Peace.

The UN Security Council recently extended the mandate of the UN mission to Libya – known as UNSMIL – for another year, a move welcomed by Greek diplomats. This decision puts the spotlight on the situation in Libya, where the Tripoli government seems to be giving Turkey a blank check as we've seen with the recent illegal Turkish-Libyan MoU on energy exploitation and Ankara's increasing military footprint in western Libya. At the same time, Athens has urged the US to press the interim government to come to the table with Greece. Expert Aya Burweila joins Thanos Davelis to break down these developments, what they mean for Greece and the region, and more importantly, how they are playing out within Libya.Aya Burweila is a Libyan expert from Benghazi based in Athens, is the founder and director of the non-profit Code on the Road, and a BBC Woman Expert in Terrorism and Radicalization.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Athens hails extension of UN mission to LibyaGreece wants Libya to talk about EEZCavusoglu issues fresh threat against GreeceDendias responds to recent comments by CavusogluState Department reiterates US position for federal Cyprus solutionUnficyp stepping up patrols in buffer zone

The UN Assistance Mission for Iraq and the Arab League have called for an end to the escalating tensions in the country amid protests.

This past week in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, violent protesters have targeted the UN peacekeeping Mission there, MONUSCO. Three UN ‘blue helmets' have been killed, along with demonstrators, who have called on the force to do more to protect communities from the many armed groups that roam the mineral-rich east of the vast country. It's a deeply worrying situation, but as MONUSCO number two, Khassim Diagne explains to UN News's Daniel Johnson, every effort is being made to restore calm and investigate the killings.

Governments should recruit more women into their national forces so that they can serve at UN field operations, an award-winning peacekeeper from Zimbabwe has said.  Major Winnet Zharare is the recipient of the 2021 Military Gender Advocate of the Year Award, presented by the UN Secretary-General during a ceremony on Thursday in observation of the International Day of UN Peacekeepers.  Major Zharare spent 17 months at the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) where she championed gender parity within her own ranks, but also among local military counterparts and in host communities.  Ben Malor of UN News asked the former UN military observer about her experience there, the benefit of having “wicked” parents, and the importance of encouraging more women to work for the cause of peace.

Fan “Frank” Liu and Matthew Ziburis were arrested yesterday, while Shujun Wang was arrested this morning. All three arrests occurred in the Eastern District of New York. The defendants' initial appearances are scheduled this afternoon in Brooklyn before United States Magistrate Judge James R. Cho." (Inner City Press will cover that) Just after 3 pm, Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, held a telephone press conference, to his credit, and took four questions. Inner City Press asked about the role of the UN and China's Mission to the UN, noting the NYPD Angwang case and the recent persona non grata removal of a UN staff member for working for Russia. The answer, for now, was that China's intimidation is growing wider. Inner City Press live tweeted the presentments in which all three were bailed, thread here: OK - now in EDNY, presentment of defendant Fan “Frank” Liu, charged with interstate harassment, operating as agent of China without FARA notification, etc Liu's lawyer: I think we have arrived at something close to an agreement on bond. [Lui will be released -- note that NYPD Angwang wasn't, at first - now he's out]. Judge James R. Cho: What's the proposed bail package? AUSA: We are close. AUSA: One million bond with attachment of Mr. Liu's two properties, one in Jericho NY and the other in Florida. Electronic monitoring with a curfew. Cannot to go PRC consultate [UN Mission of China on 35th Street]. US wants $100,000 case. Lui says 25K AUSA: We're stuck at $50,000. The defendant has $3 million in funds related to this case have been transferred into his and his wife's account. He was an agent of the PRC. He's had extensive contacts with the PRC consulate. Lui's lawyer: The US is only alleging payments of $1500 to a private investigator for public record. There's the destruction of a work of art by a "not particularly famous Chinese artist."
