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.

OIF : Louise Mushikiwabo, une candidature embarrassante pour un troisième mandat de trop

C'était en novembre 2025, à Kigali. En marge de la 46e Conférence ministérielle de la Francophonie, Louise Mushikiwabo prenait la parole avec l'assurance de celle qui n'a rien à craindre : de nombreux pays, affirmait-elle, lui avaient demandé de se représenter. Spontanément. Naturellement. Unanimement presque. Sauf que les faits racontent une tout autre histoire. L'annonce qui ne devait pas avoir lieu si tôt Novembre 2025. Le Centre de Conventions de Kigali accueille plus de 400 délégués des 90 États membres de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Le thème officiel porte sur les femmes et l'égalité des genres, trente ans après Pékin. Mais en marge des séances plénières, c'est une autre affaire qui agite les couloirs : Louise Mushikiwabo vient d'annoncer qu'elle souhaite briguer un troisième mandat. L'annonce est prématurée. Délibérément. Les candidatures ne ferment qu'en avril 2026. Aucun autre pays n'a encore ...

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines ne fonctionnent pas contre le Rwanda

Pourquoi Paul Kagame a ignoré les sanctions américaines et la Résolution 2773 du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU Entre février 2025 et mars 2026, le Trésor américain a imposé deux séries de sanctions ciblant directement la machine de guerre du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo : d'abord James Kabarebe, ministre d'État rwandais et principal intermédiaire du régime auprès du M23, puis les Forces de défense rwandaises en tant qu'entité, ainsi que quatre de leurs hauts responsables. Chacun des individus sanctionnés est demeuré en poste. Les FDR ne se sont pas retirées. Cette analyse examine pourquoi les mesures de Washington n'ont pas modifié la conduite du Rwanda — et pourquoi, selon les propres mots de Kagame, elles sont rejetées comme l'œuvre des « simplement stupides ».     Introduction : des sanctions sans conséquence La campagne de sanctions de Washington contre les opérations militaires du Rwanda dans l'est du Congo s'...

Paul Kagame: “We refuse to remove defensive measures"

Paul Kagame Refuses to Implement the Washington Accords and UN Security Council Resolution 2773: Analysis and Implications In an exclusive interview published on 3 April 2026, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda openly confirmed that Rwandan forces are deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, rejected calls for their withdrawal, dismissed US sanctions as illegitimate, and signalled clear satisfaction with the current military status quo. This briefing examines what Kagame said, what his remarks mean for the Washington Accords, and what concrete steps the United States must now take if it wishes to restore credibility to its diplomacy in the Great Lakes region. Introduction: A Confession Wrapped in Grievance The interview, conducted by François Soudan and published in Jeune Afrique on 3 April 2026, is one of the most candid public statements Paul Kagame has made on Rwanda's military role in the DRC. Its significance does not lie in revealing something previously unknown. Th...
