BURUNDI - UN / ONUB: DEVELOPMENT IS WELL, BUT NOT A ANY PRICE?

 AGNEWS, DAM, NY, 23/05/2006


Burundi and the ONUB (Operation of the United Nations in Burundi) try to find a new kind of co-operation.  Safety having returned, the question of keeping a force of peace in Bujumbura is not current any more.

Of U.N. source, “2006-2007 should record a fall of the budget of the ONUB, which should be 100 million US dollars according to current forecasts'”.   As comparison, an emergency plan of a whole year for our country varies between 150 and 200 Million $ US.

The relations to be continued with this institution are difficult. One could easily be in the situation of a state in the State, as in Bosnia-Herzégovine.  It becomes a political actor who can consequently make rock an election in a direction or another.

The economic weights of these U.N. missions exceed time with others that of small states.  The risk is the loss of sovereignty!
