La NO violencia |

–
La NO violencia no es la simple ausencia de violencia.
- La NO violencia es tener la oportunidad de hacer daño y abstenerse de hacerlo.
- Es el reflejo del amor y la compasión humanas; es tan inseparable como la bondad de la compasión.
SS El Dalai Lama
–
La violencia es el miedo a los ideales de los demás.

UN, EU failing to protect civilians in Chad – Oxfam |

Brussels, Sept 9 (Reuters).– The United Nations and the European Union have failed to protect civilians from violence in eastern Chad and should urgently strengthen policing operations there, international charity Oxfam said on Tuesday.
The U.N. Security Council decided in September last year to deploy an EU peacekeeping force in eastern Chad and Central African Republic, as well as a U.N. mission known as MINURCAT to train and support Chadian police to guard U.N.-run refugee camps.
Since early this year, more than 3,000 European soldiers from over a dozen countries have begun a one-year mission to protect refugees, civilians and aid workers in east Chad from conflict spilling over from Sudan's war-torn Darfur region.
"One year on, this mission is incapable of effectively protecting civilians in eastern Chad and should be urgently adapted," Oxfam said in a report published on Tuesday.
"Almost half a million vulnerable people who fled their homes due to the conflict in Darfur and Chad are not adequately protected and are exposed daily to attacks, thefts, rape and forced recruitment," Oxfam said ...
"Only 320 Chadian police have been trained to provide security and they have yet to be deployed," it said.
"Given the dangers facing civilians in eastern Chad, and their right to protection, this is a shameful state of affairs," Oxfam said. "Both the U.N. and the Chadian government share responsibility for the delays," it said
Oxfam said the U.N. Security Council should decide later this month to immediately deploy the U.N-trained Chadian police together with MINURCAT staff, speed up the training of more Chadian police and send in foreign police units ..
