<\/figure>\n\u201cThe retreat looked on cross-cutting issues that UN peacekeeping is facing particularly in Darfur, South Sudan and Abyei. We have concluded that we strengthen intermission interaction and cooperation, comply with UN Security Council resolution regarding the implementation of our mandates especially with policing issues on the ground,\u201d Yang said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn implementing those policies and strategies, we have started our approaches on how to work together to maintain law and order, be part of the political process to facilitate final resolutions in conflict and post-conflict context.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further noted that they identified a number of issues to be adjusted in missions especially regarding the policing ideology, the mandates, strategies and operational issues.<\/p>\n
The three-day retreat brought together Police Commissioners and senior police advisors, Chiefs of Staff, Chiefs of Operations and all essential staff members from UNMISS (South Sudan), UNAMID (Darfur) and UNISFA (Abyei)<\/p>\n
The Police Commissioner for UNAMID, Priscilla Mukotose said that the three missions share the same geo-political environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cApart from the fact that we have a number of Rwandans serving in these missions, we also find that the issues we meet in the mission areas are also relevant here (Rwanda),\u201d said Mukotose.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving had our retreat in Rwanda, we were able to confirm after visiting the Rwanda National Police Peace Support Training Centre why we get well trained and qualified Rwandan police peacekeepers, which is already been certified in the mission because Rwandan police peacekeepers work so hard and are highly disciplined,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is encouraging to see where they are coming from\u2026 where they are getting all this capacity and capabilities to excel in mission areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the delegation also visited Kigali Genocide memorial, yesterday, where they laid wreaths as they paid tribute to more than one million innocent lives killed in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n The UNAMID Police Commissioner lauded Rwanda\u2019s progress in the reconstruction process following the Genocide that left the country in ruins.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to recognize Rwanda; they went through so much\u2026 you can\u2019t understand how people could do this. Certainly as peacekeepers, we wish that this peace lasts and you remain portraying to the world the fact that you have come through this tragedy of Genocide,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone can see what you are doing and how far you have gone, and I hope other nations will learn never to break down to the level of genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n Her counterpart of Abyei, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mohamed F. Suray from Ghana, said: \u201cWe have learnt a lot from the progress RNP has achieved in terms of community policing, road traffic management, general security even in the night. This is remarkable.
