  • HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE to ANGOLA Briefing Paper for the IASC-Working Group
    HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO ANGOLA Briefing paper for the IASC-Working Group BACKGROUND The implementation of the peace accord signed in November 1994 (the Lusaka Protocol) has been slower than envisaged because of the difficulty in building up polit ical confidence between the Government and UNITA. Nevertheless, some important tasks have been partially completed, including the maintenance of a cease-fire (with major flare-ups from time to time), exchange of prisoners, quartering of the Government’s “Rapid Reaction Police” and encampment of UNITA’s troops. The current situation is often referred to as “no war-no peace”. While the two sides generally refrain from military confrontation, they have not disengaged their forces or achieved full political reconciliation. The fourth summit meeting between President dos Santos and UNITA leader Savimbi, held in Gabon on 1 March, made some headway with agreements to complete the quartering of UNITA troops, form a unified armed force and create a government of national unity by July 1996. While the dates are probably not realistic, the expressed commitment to complete these important steps has political and psychological value. The UNAVEM peace-keeping force, created in February 1995, has reached full strength with some 7,000 military and police personnel. The Security Council has been renewing the UNAVEM mandate for only three months at a time in order to maintain pressure on the parties for better compliance with the peace agreement. Given the slow pace of the peace process, UNAVEM may have to continue beyond its originally envisaged life-span of two years. HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE The humanitarian assistance programme has three main components: a) emergency relief and resettlement; b) demobilization and reintegration; and c) mine action.

    CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background By the dictates of their profession, military personnel are particularly vulnerable to engagement in casual sex with non – regular partners and at a higher risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (including HIV) than the general population. Their frequent mobility, nvolvement in international peace keeping operations, patronage of commercial sex workers makes them more at risk. The higher vulnerability to pre/extramarital sex and HIV/AIDS could probably also be attributed to the fact that, globally, the military cu ture, at least until recently, had traditionally fostered the habit of heavy smoking, high alcohol consumption and increased risk taking (UNAIDS, 2006). Military personnel have average expendable income which can be abused to purchase sex from women in the surrounding areas especially when they are deployed in operations away from their homes. This provides circumstances in which they are likely to engage in casual sex, posing a big risk for HIV infection. The military implies a combat force of men and women w take up the challenge of voluntarily being trained as officers and soldiers to perform the titutional duty of defending the nation from external and internal aggression (ZDF 2006). As Abel (1998) puts it, military organizations are anchors of national security, nation building, and good governance, and are indispensable in national and international peace and humanitarian relief operations. 1.1.1 National population and military profile The Zambian military and other sectors of the security force constitute a reasonable size of the adult overall population and an important pool of human resource. Military personnel in the armed forces constitute about 10 percent of the Zambian government work force (ZDF 2007).

  • Monitoring UN Sanctions in Africa: the Role of Panels of Experts
    14 Monitoring UN sanctions in Africa: the role of panels of experts Alex Vines ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ The early 1990s saw a dramatic increase in the number of sanctions imposed on countries by the United Nations Security Council. Until then sanctions had only been imposed on two countries: Rhodesia in 1966 and South Africa in 1977. During the 1990s and up to 2003 the Council imposed sanctions on: Iraq in 1990; the former Yugoslavia in 1991, 1992 and 1998; Libya in 1992; Liberia in 1992 and 2001; Somalia in 1992; Haiti in 1993; parts of Angola in 1993, 1997 and 1998; Rwanda in 1994; Sudan in 1996, Sierra Leone in 1997; Afghanistan in 1999; Ethiopia and Eritrea in 2000; and parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo () from July 2003.1 Instruments vested in the Council as part of the peace and security mechanisms envisioned in Chapter of the Charter provide the basis for the imposition of sanctions by the Council. Such sanctions have been the cause of significant debate and controversy, not least because of the humanitarian crisis in Iraq during the 1990s, which was related to, if not directly caused by, the imposition of sanctions. Sanctions have been a particular tool used in response to crises in Africa in recent years. Secretary-General Kofi Annan noted in his 1998 report that ‘sanctions, as preventive or punitive measures, have the potential to encourage political dialogue, while the application of rigorous economic and political sanctions can diminish the capacity of the protagonists to sustain a prolonged fight’.2 The most widespread type of sanction used in Africa is the arms embargo, such as those imposed on Angola, Ethiopia/Eritrea, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Somalia, and in 2003 on parts of the .

  • Luregn Lenggenhager Nature Conservation, Development And
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Ruling nature, controlling people: nature conservation, development and war in North-Eastern Namibia since the 1920s Lenggenhager, Luregn Abstract: Recent nature conservation initiatives in Southern Africa such as communal conservancies and peace parks are often embedded in narratives of economic development and ecological research. They are also increasingly marked by militarisation and violence. In Ruling Nature, Controlling People, Luregn Lenggenhager shows that these features were also characteristic of South African rule over the Caprivi Strip region in North-Eastern Namibia, especially in the fields of forestry, fisheries and, ulti- mately, wildlife conservation. In the process, the increasingly internationalised war in the region from the late 1960s until Namibia’s independence in 1990 became intricately interlinked with contemporary nature conservation, ecology and economic development projects. By retracing such interdependencies, Lenggenhager provides a novel perspective from which to examine the history of a region which has until now barely entered the focus of historical research. He thereby highlights the enduring relevance of the supposedly peripheral Caprivi and its military, scientific and environmental histories for efforts to develop a deeper understanding of the ways in which apartheid South Africa exerted state power.
