キウイは平和維持活動において重要な役割を果たしています

南スーダンのエミリー・ヒューム中佐と彼女のチームは、来たる重要な選挙に備えて懸命に取り組んでいると同時に、同国北部での人道的危機の防止にも努めています。アフリカの国である南スーダンは、政情不安、内戦、人道的危機、民族・部族間の紛争、経済問題など、多くの問題に取り組んでいます。

世界最大の平和維持ミッションである国連南スーダンミッションには、約18,000人の要員がいます。ニュージーランド出身のヒューム中佐は、現地の国家上級将校です。彼女は他国の軍事パートナー、国連警察、国連の民間人、人道支援機関と協力して活動するニュージーランドチームの福祉を担当しています。彼らの目標は、和平協定を監視し、民間人を保護し、援助物資の提供を支援することです。

ヒューム中佐はこれまでソロモン諸島とレバノンでの任務に加え、海外に3度派遣されている。現在36歳で、南スーダンに駐留する14,000人の国連軍関係者の長期計画を担当する副長官を務めています。また、南スーダン各地のチーム、ミッション本部、ニューヨークの国連本部とも連絡を取り合っています。

南スーダンでの彼女の最初の任務の1つは、ミッションに任務を遂行するのに十分な軍事資源があるかどうかを確認するための調査を主導することでした。この経験により、インフラが限られ早期警戒システムもない国で高まる緊張への対処など、現地のチームが直面する課題をより深く理解することができました。

彼女の派遣で最も困難だったのは、南スーダン人の多くが暮らす貧困と困難を目の当たりにすることでした。同国の人口1,100万人のうち約830万人が人道援助に頼っていると彼女は言う。この状況は、4月に隣国のスーダンで紛争が勃発して以来、さらに悪化しています。

国連は、南スーダンに帰還する人々、難民、暴力から逃れる国内避難民が急増しているスーダン近郊地域における人道的危機の防止に努めています。同時に、同国が2011年に独立を獲得して以来初めての総選挙に向けて準備を進めている。総選挙は来年に予定されている。

ヒューム中佐は、南スーダンを支援することはニュージーランドにとって重要だと考えています。南スーダンの多くの人々の生活は非常に困難だからです。彼女の仕事で最もやりがいのあることは、清潔な水の提供、地元の学校の支援、刑務所の再建、人々の行動に対する責任の確保など、国連が地域社会に与えたプラスの影響を見ることだと言います。

ニュージーランドは2011年以来、このミッションを通じて南スーダンの平和への取り組みを支援してきました。南スーダンが独立する前は、ニュージーランドは2005年から2011年まで国連スーダンミッションに人員を派遣していました。
