The government of Tanzania has expressed its deep concern over the failure of  the United Nations Security Council to condemn the attacks of Ta nzanian peacekeepers in Darfur, Somalia on July this year. Moblog can report.
Speaking to invited dignitaries at the cocktail party during the commemoration of the 68th anniversary of the United Nations in Dar es Salam at the office of the UN Resident Coordinator, the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Hon, Ambassador Khamis Kagasheki said that the silence on the part of the security council was both unprecedented and unfortunate.
“It was therefore disappointing that for the first time in 60 years of the organization, the Security Council failed to condemn attacks against peacekeepers serving under MONUSCO,” he said.

He further said that the council’s silence was a reminder of a dark past whereby the charter body whose primary role is the maintenance of international peace and security failed to act with dire consequences.
“At the same time we are also witnessing the evolution of peacekeeping, which necessitates a fitting response, as was the case with MONUSCO’s Force Intervention Brigade,” he added.
Kagasheki added that Tanzania is a proud contributor to the United Nations Peacekeeping operations, with over 2,500 boots on the ground and the country’s are the 6th contributor of military and police peacekeepers in Africa and 12th globally.
He said that the UN should stand together to ensure that development, peace, security and justice prevail throughout the world because these are the noble issues that they should all stand for.
On his part, UN Resident Coordinator, Alberic Kacou said that today in 2013, over 193 member states continue to keep the founding members’ commitment to peacekeeping and peace building, to developing and maintaining friendly relationships amongst nations and to promoting humanitarian efforts geared towards providing tangible assistance and relief across the world.

“The work of the United Nations reaches every corner of the globe in an effort to make the world a better place. The United Nations System is working on a broad range of fundamental issues,”
“Ranging from sustainable development, environment and refugees protection and disaster relief to promoting democracy and human rights, gender equality, advancement of women to economic and social development and international health and many more, in order to achieve its goals and coordinate efforts for a safer world for this and future generations,” he said
He said that this year’s UN Week comes right at the time when the UN General Assembly is preparing to draw up a long term development plans for Post 2015 Development Agenda, formulating the next set of goals to guide our efforts after we reach the MDG target date of 2015.
This Post 2015 agenda must have poverty eradication as its highest priority and sustainable development at its core, he underscored.
