PRISCA KISONGO, KHALID ARREJAMY: PROTECTING INTERNALLY DISPLACED CAMPS
IN DARFURNew York, May 28 2013 1:00PMPrisca Kisongo, a police officer
from Tanzania, is just one of many peackeepers serving under the
African Union – United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) who
participates in providing security and protection patrols which the
Mission carries out throughout Darfur 24 hours a day.

Ms. Kisongo is stationed in the Zam Zam camp for internally displaced
persons (IDPs), located near El Fasher, North Darfur.

"As a police advisor, I am part of a team which consists of officers
from UNAMID's various sections including child protections, gender,
human rights, rule of law and security. Each of us interacts in our
area of expertise with the IDPs," she says.

On the day of the interview, Ms. Kisongo explained that earlier in the
say she was on a patrol and that often times the residents' concerns
are often about a lack of food and water, as well as access to health
care and schools. She notes that patrols also visit detainees in
prisons and check for potential human rights violations.

With 1.4 million people still living in camps, and a majority of the
people in Darfur still facing an inadequate access to basic
health-care, education and other services, the challenges within and
around the camps remain enormous.

The UN humanitarian community estimates that 300,000 people have fled
fighting in all of Darfur in the first five months of this year, which
is more than the total number of people displaced in the last two
years put together.

Since arriving in Darfur two years ago, Ms. Kisongo explained that she
has work hard to build trust by creating relationships with local
communities, particularly with women and community leaders known as
'undas'.

Women in peacekeeping are a growing force. In the 32 years between
1957 and 1989, a total of only twenty women served as uniformed UN
peacekeepers. By 2012, out of approximately 125,000 peacekeepers,
women constitute three per cent of the military and 10 per cent of the
police.
