Guterres condemns deadly attack on peacekeepers in Central African Republic

The ambush took place on Friday along the Birao-Am Dafock axis in the volatile Vakaga Prefecture, in northeastern CAR, close to the border with conflict-hit Sudan.

According to the stabilization mission, MINUSCA, the patrol was targeted by “unidentified armed elements” in the locality of Am-Sissia.

Attack may be a war crime

In a statement released by his Spokesperson on Sunday, Secretary-General António Guterres extended his deepest condolences to the bereaved families, as well as to the Government and people of Zambia, and wished a swift recovery to the injured soldier.

He stressed that attacks against UN peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law and urged the Central African authorities “to spare no effort in identifying the perpetrators of this tragedy so that they can be brought to justice swiftly”.

This marks the third fatal attack against MINUSCA peacekeeping patrols since the start of 2025.

In March, a Kenyan peacekeeper was killed in the Haut-Mbomou prefecture, and a month earlier, a Tunisian ‘blue helmet’ lost his life in the north. Earlier this week, two Nepalese peacekeepers were injured during an assault in the southwest.

Valentine Rugwabiza, head of the UN mission, decried the “multiplication of attacks against peacekeepers” and echoed the call for justice, urging the authorities to act decisively against those responsible.

Since its deployment in 2014, MINUSCA has suffered significant losses, with around 150 peacekeepers paying the ultimate price.

The 17,000-strong force was established to help stabilise CAR, a country wracked by decades of political instability, armed conflict, and humanitarian crises.

According to a February report by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), worsening insecurity across parts of the country has forced MINUSCA to step up patrols in several regions, including areas near the border with Sudan where violence and displacement have surged in recent months amid the brutal civil war between rival militaries there.

The Secretary-General reaffirmed the UN’s solidarity with the people and Government of CAR, underlining the world body’s continued commitment to peace and stability in the region.

Surge in number of children facing sexual abuse as they flee Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Burundi with aid cuts reducing support – Save the Children

The number of children reporting sexual assault after fleeing into Burundi to escape violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has more than tripled this year with aid cuts dramatically reducing the support available, said Save the Children.

Between January and June this year, Save the Children staff in Burundi recorded over 478 cases of gender-based violence (GBV) including over 172 against children, most of them rape cases, which was a 249% increase from a year ago.

More than one million people have been displaced by violence in DRC this year as the conflict dramatically escalated, including over 41,000 who have fled to Burundi, according to the UN.

More than 65% of the GBV cases managed by Save the Children involve rape, along with psychological abuse and physical violence, the aid agency said, with horrifying stories of children being raped together with their parents and mothers being raped in front of their children.

However, major cuts to aid supporting refugees from the DRC have curtailed the ability of humanitarian agencies to help the thousands of children housed in reception centres on arrival and refugee sites, putting their safety and wellbeing at risk. Normally survivors of gender-based violence would receive dignity and hygiene items including diapers, pads, underpants and soap, however the aid cuts mean not everyone is now receiving these essential items, said Save the Children.

Due to the conflict, more than 500 children have arrived this year separated from their families, with about 300 unaccompanied children requiring services to trace their families and reunite them.

Save the Children staff in Burundi said children who have faced sexual violence are in dire need of psychological support to overcome the trauma and are at risk of low self-esteem, self-blame, isolation, stigmatization and discrimination without help.

Rita*, a 16-year-old girl living in a refugee camp in eastern Burundi, told Save the Children: “Before arriving in Burundi, my mother, my siblings and I spent several days hiding in the mountains near our village. Some days we would return home from the bushes when the sound of gunfire went down but go back to the forest in the evening. One evening we decided to stay in the house and that’s when it happened. Armed men entered our house and raped me, my sister and my mother. We then decided to flee the next day. It is very hard to look my mother in eye after what happened but also very difficult for our mother to talk to us about it.”

Nadege Nizigama, Save the Children’s Child Protection and GBV case worker for Burundi, said:  

“I speak to children who have faced various forms of abuse including rape and forced marriages. At the moment, I have two girls and one boy who are undergoing psychosocial support after experiencing rape while fleeing the conflict earlier this year. For the last few months, I have heard horrifying stories of children being raped together with their parents and mothers being raped in front of their children. No child should be subjected to this kind of violence. We are doing our best to provide all the support we can to help the children overcome their trauma but more needs to be done to restore the children’s wellbeing and strengthen their resilience.”

Geoffrey Kirenga, Save the Children’s Head of Mission in Burundi, said:

“Conflict related sexual violence has long been used as a tool of war to intimidate and terrorise civilians. The impact on children is devastating, and my team witness this daily. Save the Children’s work in Burundi reveals critical child protection concerns and survivors need to receive medical care and protection. 

“Tragically we know the number of cases we have registered is just a drop in the ocean.  Children and community members often don’t report cases of severe violations because of fear of being victimized. It’s a tragic situation.

“The impact of aid cuts is huge, considering the degree of vulnerability of our beneficiaries. Most of the families we are supporting have faced psychological trauma due to conflict and many left their homes with nothing. The funding gaps we’re now facing could force us to close down programmes that are a lifeline to children and families in dire need. We are calling on the international community not to abandon these children at a time when they need them most.”

Save the Children has been working in Burundi since 2016 providing services in child protection, prevention and response to gender-based violence, health, child right governance and education. We have a team in Burundi assisting thousands of displaced children and their families.

Deputy President Mashatile concludes a successful Working Visit to Russia

Source: President of South Africa –

Deputy President Paul Mashatile has returned to South Africa after concluding a successful Working Visit to the Russian Federation, spanning the two cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, where he engaged in a number of activities aimed at strengthening the bilateral trade and economic relations between South Africa and Russia.

At the conclusion of his visit, the Deputy President sat down with two of Russia’s major television news networks, Russia Today and Sputnik Africa, where he reflected on some of the key take-aways from the Working Visit, including a particular focus on enhancing economic cooperation in sectors such as agriculture, automotive, energy and mining industries as well as science and technology cooperation. 

Deputy President Mashatile arrived in Moscow on 17 June 2025, where he was received by Russia’s Deputy Head of State Protocol, Mr Andrei Milyaev; Deputy Director of African Department, Mr Andrei Stotlarov; and International Relations and Cooperation Deputy Minister, Alvin Botes.

The Working Visit kicked off in earnest with the Deputy President laying wreaths at the Mausoleum of Moses Kotane and J.B Marks at the Novodevichy Cemetery and UN Heritage Site in Moscow. Moses Kotane and JB Marks were anti-apartheid activists active in the South African Communist Party and African National Congress and had a significant influence on South Africa’s journey towards freedom and democracy. Initially buried for years in Moscow, their remains were subsequently returned by the South African Government and reburied in the North West Province in March 2015.

In Moscow, Deputy President Mashatile also met His Excellency Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at the House of the Government of the Russian Federation for a discussion on opportunities for bilateral political and economic cooperation between South Africa and Russia to unlock areas of further cooperation in trade & investment, mineral & energy, agriculture, health and education.

Deputy President Mashatile then traveled to St. Petersburg State University, where he was warmly received by Acting Rector Professor Sergey Andryushin, ahead of a Public Lecture the Deputy President delivered under the theme – “South Africa’s G20 Presidency in a rapidly changing geo-political environment”. The Public Lecture audience included Faculty professors, students, the academic community as well as media and members of the Diplomatic Corps.

Also in St. Petersburg, the Deputy President paid a courtesy call on President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation at the Constantine Palace as part of his Working Visit, where he had a bilateral meeting with President Putin and his Russian delegation that included Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov.

The Deputy President expressed, on behalf of President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Republic of South Africa, utmost gratitude to President Putin and the Russian people for the role they played in supporting the anti-apartheid struggle and the socio-economic emancipation beyond the attainment of freedom and democracy.

“I have been tasked by the President to work tirelessly towards translation of the strong foundation of our strategic relations into higher trade and economic ties for the mutual benefit of our countries and our people,” said Deputy President Mashatile.

Later in the programme, the Deputy President delivered remarks at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF’25) plenary session, following the remarks of H.E. President Vladimir Putin. The theme for the Deputy President’s main engagement of the visit, SPIEF’25, was: “Strengthening Multi-polarity for Sustainable Development”, where the Deputy President highlighted that in its 28th year, the forum remained one of the foremost platforms for global dialogue on economic cooperation, investment, innovation, and inclusive growth.

Deputy President Mashatile said: “As we look to the future, the importance of the Global South in shaping international economic governance is undeniable. Africa, in particular, is fast becoming a centre of global growth. With a population projected to exceed 2.5 billion by 2050, a rising middle class, and a youthful demographic dividend, the continent has the potential to drive the next wave of industrialisation, digital transformation, and sustainable development. Africa is not in search of handouts; rather, it is pursuing equitable partnerships. It seeks equitable access to markets, capital, knowledge, and technology. This is where global platforms like SPIEF become crucial.”

Other activities of the Deputy President included addressing the South African Trade and Investment Seminar at the SPIEF’25, attended by Russian and South African business and government leaders themed – “Russia – South Africa: Business and Investment Cooperation”; a meeting with Chairperson of the Federal Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Mrs Valentina Matvienko, where he welcomed the continued cooperation between the Russian Federal Assembly and the South African Parliament over the years.

“We are pleased to note that through regular Parliamentary exchanges and engagements, we have been able to address common challenges, explore new opportunities for collaboration, and deepen our friendship,” said the Deputy President.

The Deputy President also met with Chairman of the State Duma, Mr Vyacheslav Volodin and the bilateral discussion appreciated the continued cooperation between the Russian State Duma and the South African Parliament over the years as well as the importance of parliamentary diplomacy as a tool to amplify government efforts, foster dialogue and use legislative tools to unlock progress in trade and other areas.

Finally, the Deputy President concluded the Working Visit with a guided tour and site visit to the St. Petersburg Port, where he met with the leadership and workers of the Port. The site visit took place following work by officials from Russia and South Africa during the 18th Session of the Intergovernmental Committee on Trade and Economic Cooperation (ITEC), where the two countries concluded deliberations on cooperation in the maritime field and agreed to work with participants from the logistics industry and port authorities of both countries towards the mutually beneficial use of port infrastructure.

The Deputy President was accompanied by International Relations and Cooperation Deputy Minister Alvin Botes; Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina; Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Parks Tau; Agriculture Deputy Minister Nokuzola Capa; Public Works and Infrastructure Deputy Minister Sihle Zikalala; Mineral and Petroleum Resources Deputy Minister Phumzile Mgcina, as well as Sport, Arts and Culture Deputy Minister Peace Mabe.

5ème édition du Championnat National Scolaire : Une cérémonie d’ouverture splendide


Le samedi 21 juin 2025, le stade omnisports d’Aplahoué a accueilli la cérémonie d’ouverture de la 5ème édition du Championnat National Scolaire. Le Ministre des Sports, Monsieur Benoît DATO, a donné le coup d’envoi officiel, aux côtés de plusieurs membres du gouvernement, Madame Eléonore YAYI LADEKAN, Ministre de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique ; Monsieur Janvier YAHOUEDEOU, Coordonnateur du Collège des Ministres Conseillers ; et Monsieur Ayibatin Jonas HANTAN, Ministre Conseiller au Tourisme, à la Culture, aux Arts et aux Sports. 

La cérémonie s’est révélée grandiose. Un tableau artistique impressionnant a retracé l’histoire du sport béninois de 1972 à 2025. Réelle fresque vivante, la mise en scène a mêlé passé et présent, avec une touche de virtuel. Conçue par ALOUGBINE Dine, elle a traduit avec finesse la vision du Président Patrice TALON : faire du sport scolaire un outil d’inclusion et un pilier du développement national. 

Cette 5ème édition du Championnat National Scolaire rassemble 1.488 jeunes athlètes de 93 établissements secondaires publics et privés, provenant des douze départements du pays. Cinq disciplines sont à l’honneur : football, basketball, handball, volleyball et athlétisme avec l’introduction du basketball 3×3. Personnalités politiques, autorités locales, élus, sages et notables ont honoré de leur présence cette ouverture solennelle. 

Dans son adresse aux jeunes, le Ministre Benoît DATO a déclaré : « Soyez fiers de porter les couleurs de vos établissements et de vos départements. Le sport est une école de la vie. Vous apprenez à gagner, à perdre, à vous relever et à respecter l’autre. Vous êtes la relève du sport béninois. Vous incarnez la promesse d’un Bénin uni et fort ». 

Le Maire de la ville hôte, Monsieur Maxime ALLOSSOGBÉ, a salué l’engagement du gouvernement et a encouragé les jeunes participants à donner le meilleur d’eux-mêmes. Le Préfet du Couffo, Monsieur Christophe MEGBEDJI, a souligné, pour sa part, la portée symbolique de cette rencontre. Des jeunes venus des douze (12) départements se retrouvent pour partager les mêmes valeurs. 

Le Directeur Général de l’Office Béninois du Sport Scolaire et Universitaire (OBSSU), Dr Victor Soumon LAWIN, a relevé une particularité majeure de cette édition. Il s’agit de la promotion de l’égalité des sexes à travers le sport. 

Ce championnat marque bien plus qu’une compétition sportive. Il incarne une vision. Celle d’un Bénin rassemblé autour de sa jeunesse, de ses talents et de ses valeurs.

Uma em cada 10 viúvas no mundo vive em pobreza extrema

Baixar logotipo

Este 23 de junho é o Dia Internacional das Viúvas. A data, aprovada pela Assembleia Geral da ONU em 2011, quer chamar a atenção para as experiências de mulheres que perdem não somente seus parceiros, mas também a subsistência.

Em todo o mundo, mais de 258 milhões de mulheres se declaram viúvas. Uma em cada 10 delas vive em extrema pobreza.

RD Congo e Índia

Historicamente, elas vivem sem apoio. Em alguns países, as viúvas não têm direito à herança, pensão ou meios de subsistência e ficam isoladas da seguridade social.

A resolução da Assembleia Geral pede a governos em todo o globo que apoiem as viúvas com informações e acessos a recursos que possam socorrê-las. Oportunidades de treinamento, educação, salário decente e acesso a linhas de crédito.

Estima-se que em algumas partes da República Democrática do Congo, metade das mulheres tenham este estado civil.

Já na Índia, muitas viúvas são desonradas pela família, obrigadas a trabalhar no mercado informal, viver na mendicância ou a se prostituírem.

Caridade da família

Em alguns casos, elas também são forçadas a assumir a dívida dos cônjuges.

Na África e na Ásia, muitas se tornam vítimas de violência física e mental incluindo violência sexual por causa de disputas de herança e terra. Várias mulheres acabam por viver de caridade da família dos maridos.

Nos últimos anos, a intensificação de conflitos armados causou deslocamentos e migração. Além disso, a pandemia da Covid-19 deixou muitas mulheres viúvas.

Durante os fechamentos econômicos, as viúvas ficaram sem acesso a aposentadorias, contas bancárias e cuidados de saúde.

Em muitos países, onde existem leis de proteção aos direitos das viúvas, falhas no sistema legal acabam por comprometer os direitos delas.

Já em situações de pós-conflito, as viúvas devem ser parte dos processos de reconciliação e construção da paz para garantir um futuro sustentável de paz e segurança.

Expostas ao HIV

O Dia Internacional das Viúvas quer chamar a atenção também para práticas culturais, degradantes e até mesmo letais como parte dos ritos fúnebres e de luto.

Em vários países, as viúvas são forçadas a beber a água em que os cadáveres de seus maridos foram lavados. Os ritos de luto também podem envolver relações sexuais com parentes do sexo masculino, raspagem dos cabelos e auto flagelo.

Muitas mulheres se tornam vulneráveis no contexto do HIV/Aids em situações traumáticas de países em conflito, onde elas sofrem violência sexual, são mutiladas, estupradas ou infectadas com o HIV.

Forças de paz organizam retirada da República Democrática do Congo (RD Congo) com saída de Kivu do Sul

Baixar logotipo

Este mês marca a conclusão da retirada das forças da Missão da ONU na República Democrática do Congo, Monusco, da província oriental do Kivu do Sul. Com o processo terminará a primeira fase da saída do contingente internacional do país africano. 

Para a representante especial do secretário-geral na RD Congo, várias lições foram aprendidas deste processo pela operação criada em 2010, resultante de missões anteriores com o mandato que inclui proteger civis congoleses, pessoal humanitário e ativistas de direitos humanos. 

Contexto de estabilização 

No caso do Kivu do Sul, Bintou Keita destacou a formação de uma equipe local que fará parte dessas atividades, mas também terá alcance em níveis nacional e local.

Nessa experiência da retirada do Kivu do Sul, uma das principais lições é que não se pode ter pressa de estabelecer um cronograma para a retirada de um contexto em estabilização, por haver muitos desafios a serem enfrentados. 

Entre os aspectos por considerar, ela mencionou a necessidade de equipamentos, as negociações com terceiros para locais para instalar infraestrutura ou se estabelecer bases em terras privadas. 

A chefe da missão de paz da ONU também conversou, em Ruanda, com rebeldes que atuam na RD Congo. O tema foi a proteção de civis em áreas sob controle destes grupos armados no leste congolês. 

Momento crítico 

Keita disse que os rebeldes expressaram o desejo de uma solução pacífica para a crise, que se intensificou em janeiro com a captura da cidade de Goma. 

Segundo a Monusco, a reunião fazia parte de “esforços conjuntos iniciados, há vários meses, em benefício da população” e que ocorreu em um momento crítico. 

O grupo rebelde M23 também esteve nas negociações promovidas pela ONU, as primeiras mais salientes desde a tomada da cidade oriental de Goma que no início deste ano protagonizaram ataques a alvos incluindo as forças de paz da Monusco.

African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), Somali National Armed Forces (SNA) troops recapture strategic villages in Lower Shabelle


Download logo

Ugandan troops serving with the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) and the Somali National Armed Forces (SNAF) have recaptured strategic villages of Sabiid and Anole from Al Shabaab.

This win came during a three-day joint operation code-named ‘Operation Silent Storm’, aimed at liberating areas under Al-Shabaab control in the Lower Shabelle region.

Several Al-Shabaab fighters were neutralised during a prolonged siege of their hideouts in various parts of the villages. The forces also seized a substantial amount of ammunition from fleeing militants, clearing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted in communities and supply routes. 

“I commend the brave efforts of our gallant AUSSOM Ugandan troops and the Somali National Army in degrading Al-Shabaab. AUSSOM is fully committed to implementing the Somali Transition Plan, which will culminate in the transfer of security responsibilities to the Somali Security Forces,” said AUSSOM Force Commander, Lieutenant General Sam Kavuma, following the successful operation.

Sector One Commander Brigadier General Joseph Ssemwanga emphasised that joint operations will continue in Lower Shabelle until Al-Shabaab threats are effectively addressed.

“Sabiid-Anole has become a strategic location since March, where terrorists plan deadly attacks, conceal ammunition, including vehicles for Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs), and establish illegal checkpoints to extort locals,” said Brig. Gen. Ssemwanga.

Major General Sahal Abdullahi Omar, Commander of the Somali National Army’s Land Forces, also confirmed that ‘Operation Silent Storm’ successfully dismantled Al-Shabaab’s presence in the two villages.

AUSSOM and SNA Forces are currently securing the recaptured villages and clearing remaining pockets of Al-Shabaab terrorists in Lower Shabelle’s Afgooye district. The operation aims to degrade and eliminate terrorists from Lower Shabelle and neighbouring areas.
