Sudan awards outgoing UNAMID’s chief Nilein Order
September 7, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — Sudanese President has awarded today the outgoing chief of Darfur peacekeeping force, Rodolphe Adada, the Nilein Order, first class in recognition of his efforts in Darfur peacekeeping mission.
Before to grant him one of the country’s top honours during a farewell visit to the Sudanese President, Omer Al-Bashir last week praised Adada and disclosed that the Joint Special Representative had resigned to protest the renewal of his job.
“The enemies of Sudan did not like Adada’s report on Darfur, and this is why they refused to renew him” Bashir said last Thursday. “Adada resigned embodying the dignity of African man,” he further said.
A UN official confirmed to Sudan Tribune Bashir’s remarks adding the UN renewed him only for six months instead of one year. Adada considered the UN Secretariat’s decision as disapproval of his action.
Rodolphe Adada, a former foreign minister of the Republic of Congo, stepped down from his duties as UNAMID chief on August 31. UN Secretary General accepted his resignation and wished him continued success in his “future role with the Government of the Congo.”
The resignation of the head of the joint peacekeeping mission sparked difference between the two institutions. Darfur operation is the first hybrid peacekeeping mission between the African and the United Nations.
The AU Executive Council said concerned “at the way the decision of renewing Mr. Adada’s contract was handled by the UN Secretariat,” said a statement issued in Tripoli on August 31.
The African Union urged “the UN Secretariat to ensure that all decisions relating to the senior management of UNAMID are taken after due consultations with the AU Commission and to avoid re-occurrence of such situations.”
Adada’s issue and the difference in the evaluation of his action could impact the future cooperation between the two institutions but also risks to complicate the work of the next Joint Special Representative, said two western analysts to Sudan Tribune.

It is now clear that Mr. Adaba was doing the work of the NIF by alleging that the situation in Darfur had improved. Will the victims of rape and pillage award Mr. Adada even a handshtake? I do not think so. Adada has failed the people of Darfur and the integrity of the UN. It is very obvious that the janjaweed regime could give an award to someone who has done something special for their survival. The UN chief was right when he refused to renew Adada mission for a year because Adada was closed to the regime and for that reason, he compromised the duties of the UN mission in Sudan.

Look at Idiot Basher, He awarded the outgoing of Darfur peacekeeping force, Rodolphe Adada because he worked for his interset as Mr Adada said early this years that he was expecting that the situation in Darfur more woren than thoughts but say the situation was calm was fuel by western world where he describes there is no point of Basher indictment.
It has shows the weakeness of African peace mission in Darfur where they just there for money than security.
Shame on you Adada
