United Nation : 3000 Tentara Uni Afrika Tewas di Tangan Militan

Wakil Sekjen PBB Jan Eliasson mengungkapkan 3000 tentara Uni Afrika tewas saat memerangi pemberontakan Muslim dalam beberapa tahun terakhir di Somalia. Hal itu diungkapkan oleh Elliason dalam konferensi pers di markas besar PBB pada Kamis (9/5/2013), laporan Reuters.

Eliasson menyayangkan besarnya jumlah tentara Uni Afrika (AMISOM) yang tewas di Somalia. Ia mengatakan Uganda dan Burundi yang menyuplai paling banyak tentara untuk pasukan Uni Afrika, mengalami kehilangan tentara dalam jumlah sangat besar. Angka 3000 adalah pernyataan resmi PBB mengenai jumlah tentara AMISOM yang tewas di tangan mujahidin Ash-Shabab. Angka sebenarnya sesuai fakta di lapangan boleh jadi lebih besar.

Untuk memerangi mujahidin Ash-Shabab Somalia yang telah menegakkan syariat Islam di beberapa propinsi, PBB mengerahkan “Pasukan Penjaga Perdamaian PBB” sebagai pasukan asing pendukung pasukan rezim sekuler Somalia. Misi “Pasukan Penjaga Perdamaian PBB” dilaksanakan oleh pasukan Uni Afrika yang berada di bawah komando The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).

Pasukan AMISOM berkekuatan 17.700 tentara dan mulai beroperasi dalam perang melawan mujahidin Ash-Shabab Somalia sejak Februrai 2007 sampai saat ini. Pasukan AMISOM berasal dari pasukan nasional Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Sierra Leone, dan Djibouti. Jumlah 17.700 tentara AMISOM tersebut belum mencakup pasukan Ethiopia yang juga memerangi mujahidin Ash-Shabab di Somalia.

Saat ini komando tertinggi pasukan AMISOM dipegang oleh Letnan Jendral Andrew Gutti dari Uganda dan wakilnya Mayor Jendral Cyprien Hakiza dari Burundi. Keberhasilan mujahidin Ash-Shabab Somalia menewaskan 3000 tentara AMISOM dan kemampuannya berjihad selama 6 tahun terakhir melawan AMISOM menunjukkan betapa cabang kelompk jihad Al-Qaeda di kawasan Afrika Timur itu cukup kuat dan solid.

A top U.N. official says up to 3,000 African Union soldiers have been killed in Somalia over the past few years fighting the Islamist insurgency.

U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson gave the death toll at a news conference Thursday at U.N. headquarters.

Eliasson said Uganda and Burundi, which supplied most of the troops for the AU force, "have paid a tremendous price."

A spokesman for the force, Ali Aden Hamoud, says he cannot confirm or deny the death toll.

"That responsibility belongs to each one of those contingents, or troop-contributing countries," he said.

Over the past two years, AU troops, working with Somali and Ethiopian forces, have forced militant group al-Shabab out of southern Somali towns and cities they once controlled.

Eliasson said the al-Shabab threat has receded but still exists and that the AU force, known as AMISOM, still "plays an absolutely crucial role" in Somalia.

AU soldiers arrived in Somalia in 2007 and were involved in heavy fighting with al-Shabab in Mogadishu for several years.

The capital is largely calm these days, although al-Shabab still carries out periodic attacks like a suicide bombing last Sunday that killed eight people.

The East African nation is attempting to emerge from more than 20 years of chaos and war under a new government formed last year. Donor nations pledged $300 million for security in Somalia at a conference in London this week.
