Affaire des soldats sénégalais au Darfour: Les précisions de la Police

COMMUNIQUE  DE  PRESSE

 

Contrairement à certaines informations véhiculées dans la presse et qui soutiennent que le retour au Sénégal du contingent (SEN FPU 2), précédemment déployé au Darfour, a été motivé par un manque de moyens, la Police Nationale tient à préciser que ce fait est la résultante de la décision de l’ONU qui a entamé un processus de réduction des effectifs présents au Darfour.

Et que d’ailleurs, c’est dans le cadre de ce processus appelé « Downsizing », que le Bataillon d’infanterie du Burkina Faso, le Bataillon d’infanterie du Pakistan, le Bataillon d’infanterie du Nigéria et le Bangladesh FPU 2, ont tous été invités à regagner leur pays.

Ci-jointe, la correspondance des autorités onusiennes.

Dear Sir.

According to the trail mail, your unit has to be repatriated very soon. Awaiting instructions or orders from your chain of command, I have been directed by my SSO to liaise with you in respect of this movement. Next day, you will receive an introduction letter giving details for your preparation and deadlines. The issue of COE is the most important and difficult in such case. In view to perform this movement smoothly and on time, we need to start the process now.

Regards.
