UN Blue Helmets Feared Aiding, Abetting Militants In CAR

The staff of the UN peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic have been accused of giving food and ammunition to militants.

This was revealed after the detention of a militant from the rebel group, Coalition of Patriots for Change SRS. Recently, the Central African military (FACA) detained Colonel Zakareya Mahamat, a native of Sudan, near the village of Emen, with the participation of Russian specialists.

The whole country has long been discussing the facts of militant cooperation with the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission, MINUSCA, in the Central African Republic, but the international community pretends that this is not the case and continues to extend their mandate year after year.

The recent interrogation of a detained rebel colonel has once again proved the complicity of the Blue Helmets with terrorists, to foment conflicts.

Sudanese Zakaria Mahamat has been in the CPC group for about 10 years and has 35 fighters armed with AKs, PKs and RPGs.

He has attended MINUSCA meetings with General Ibrahim on more than one occasion. The most recent meeting with the UN Mission, he said, took place last month in Yamale locality and was attended by 15 peacekeepers.

To organise the meeting, MINUSCA staff contact them by phone and set a time and place, then arrive by helicopter to deliver ammunition and food.

Unfortunately, Zakaria Mahamat could not say which country’s contingent was involved in these regular meetings, but he said they were white men speaking English.

This is not the first such evidence of cooperation between various MINUSCA contingents and the militants, some of whom, according to witnesses, have a mutually beneficial partnership – supplying weapons and medicine in exchange for diamonds or gold.

With each such admission, it becomes increasingly clear to the people of the Central African Republic that MINUSCA’s goal is to create war, not to help restore peace in the Central African Republic.
