  • II. United Nations and Sub-Saharan Africa
    II. United Nations and Sub-Saharan Africa The new UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, declared Africa, and in particular the crisis in Darfur, as a priority on his agenda. He made his fi rst trip in offi ce to the AU summit in Addis Ababa in January. The appointment of Asha-Rose Migiro as the deputy secretary general on 5 January was a signifi cant sign in itself. The former Tanzanian foreign minister became the second woman in history in this position and the highest-ranking woman at the UN. Another high-profi le appointment took place in July: Eritrean Haile Menkerios, former senior Department of Political Affairs (DPA) offi cial for African affairs, assumed the position as assistant secretary general for political affairs. Partnerships continued to be a buzzword. For instance, the Security Council stressed the importance of boosting the resources and capacity of the AU after a meeting organised on the initiative of South Africa, as part of its proactive approach to holding the presidency of the Council during March. Nonetheless, mutual understandings and clarity with regard to duties and responsibilities remained weak. The secretary general removed the Offi ce of the Special Advisor on Africa (OSAA) in July. The offi ce had been leaderless since 9 February, with the resignation of Legwaila Joseph Legwaila, the special advisor on Africa appointed by Kofi Annan. The OSAA mandate was consolidated with the offi ce of the high representative for the Least Developed Countries (LDC), Landlocked Develop- ing Countries (LLDC) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Cheick Sidi Diarra was appointed as high representative for this merged offi ce.
