The village of Ogossagou is located 144 kilometres from the town of Sévaré in the Mopti region of central Mali. Ogossagou has been the site of two massacres between local ethnic groups in the space of two years, resulting in numerous casualties. For the last two years peacekeepers from Senegal serving with the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has secured a temporary operational base (TOB) in the village. The village of Ogossagou is difficult to access by land due to the security situation, terrorist attacks and Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and to the isolation of the village. Recently calm has returned to Ogossagou with the signing of local agreements between the two communities.

Standing at the press briefing area are 75-year-old chairs symbolizing “the seat of duty”. The gesture emphasizes the Security Council’s unique role as custodian of international peace and security, responsible for upholding and promoting international humanitarian law and responsible to protect vulnerable groups. Each chair portrays one letter of the message “War has limits” and symbolizes the collective responsibility to uphold international humanitarian law. Empty chairs symbolize the courageous presence of humanitarian workers at the front line, often risking their own safety to provide aid and protection. International humanitarian law is crystal clear: We must protect and respect UN and humanitarian personnel.

Headline UNDP Launches Pilot Projects for Recovery and Reconciliation in South Sudan

Caption Description The UN Development Programme (UNDP) launched its pilot projects within the Integrated Crisis Prevention and Recovery Programme “Strengthening national capacities for Early Recovery, Peace Building and Reconciliation” at the UN-House Protection of Civilian (PoC) site in Juba. UNDP developed the Programme in response to the crisis gripping South Sudan since December 2013. It seeks to enhance national capacities for early recovery, peace building and reconciliation in the country. During the launch, participants in the pilot projects exhibited their products based on the training they received, including in employments such as catering, hairdressing and tailoring. As part of the launch, UNPOL (the Civilian Police branch of the UN Mission in South Sudan) also exhibited training activities implemented in partnership with women living within the PoC site.
Participants are engaged in a tailoring workshop.
