Norwegian field hospital for UN operation in Chad
Norsk feltsykehus til FN-operasjon i Tsjad
“A Norwegian field hospital for the operation in Chad fulfils a critical need which is of great importance to the UN.
- Et norsk feltsykehus til operasjonen i Tsjad er en kritisk kapasitet av stor betydning for FN.
A number of other western countries have made the presence of a modern field hospital a condition for their own contribution of forces to the operation.
Flere andre vestlige land har satt nærvær av et moderne feltsykehus som betingelse for selv å delta med styrker.
Italy is at present providing a field hospital for the ongoing EU operation but this arrangement is due to end by May and there are few other alternatives,” says Defence Minister Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen.
Italia stiller i dag et feltsykehus til den pågående EU-operasjonen, men dette planlegges avsluttet innen mai og det finnes få andre alternativer, sier forsvarsminister Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen.
The main purpose of the UN operation will be to contribute to the safety and security of refugees, internally displaced families and others in need in the local population, as well as of the humanitarian aid workers themselves.
Hovedformålet med FN-operasjonen vil være å bidra til sikkerhet for flyktninger, internt fordrevne og hjelpetrengende blant lokalbefolkningen, samt for de humanitære hjelpearbeiderne.
The UN Secretary General describes the humanitarian situation in the region as acute.
FNs generalsekretær beskriver den humanitære situasjonen i området som akutt.
The number in need of help is approaching 1.2 million.
Tallet på hjelpetrengende nærmer seg 1,2 millioner.
Of these 290,000 are refugees from Darfur in Sudan and 180,000 are internally displaced families and individuals from elsewhere in Chad.
Av disse er 290 000 flyktninger fra Darfur i Sudan og 180 000 internt fordrevne i Tsjad.
In addition to providing substantial humanitarian support for Darfur in 2008, Norway has also contributed NOK 28 million towards the alleviation of humanitarian suffering in Chad.
I tillegg til betydelig humanitær støtte til Darfur har Norge i 2008 bidratt med 28 millioner kroner for å avhjelpe de humanitære lidelsene i Tsjad.
Serious humanitarian crisis The situation in eastern Chad and the northeast region of the CAR is closely linked to developments in Darfur which continues to suffer one of the world’s gravest humanitarian crises.
Alvorlig humanitær krise Situasjonen i østre Tsjad og nordøstre SAR er nært knyttet til utviklingen i Darfur, som fortsatt er rammet av en av verdens mest alvorlige humanitære kriser.
Refugees and insurgent groups constantly cross the border between the countries and the difficult situation in Darfur therefore has serious consequences for stability in the neighbouring countries.
Flyktninger og opprørsgrupper krysser grensene mellom landene, og den vanskelige situasjonen i Darfur har derfor også store konsekvenser for stabiliteten i nabolandene.
However, lawlessness, violence and the activities of local bandits continue to pose the greatest threat to the local population and to the work of the aid organisations in the field.
Lovløshet, voldelige angrep og lokal bandittvirksomhet er imidlertid den største trusselen mot sivilbefolkningen og hjelpearbeidet.
An important part of the UN mission’s mandate is therefore to strengthen the Chadian police, the prison authorities and the law enforcement system.
En viktig del av FN-operasjonens mandat er derfor å bidra til å styrke tsjadisk politi, fengselsvesen og rettsapparat.
Norway has contributed in this area through the provision of funding for the UN’s training programme for the Chadian police.
Norge har bidratt til dette gjennom økonomisk støtte til FNs opplæring av tsjadisk politi.
Norway wishes to increase its participation in Africa “Participation in MINURCAT II is an important indication of the Government’s ambition to step up its contribution to UN led peace operations, with particular emphasis on Africa.
Vil øke innsatsen i Afrika – Deltakelse i MINURCAT II er en viktig konkretisering av regjeringens ambisjon om å øke innsatsen i FN-ledede fredsoperasjoner, med særlig vekt på Afrika.
Norway’s view is that western countries have, to too great an extent, left it to third world countries to provide forces for the UN’s most demanding operations which very frequently relate to countries in Africa.
Norges syn er at vestlige land i alt for stor grad har overlatt til landene i den tredje verden å stille styrker til FNs aller mest krevende operasjoner, som i stor grad finner sted i Afrika.
The EU is currently engaged in leading a military force with a UN mandate in eastern Chad and the northeast region of the CAR.
EU leder i dag en militær styrke med FN-mandat i østre Tsjad og nordøstre SAR.
This force was established in order to support the UN’s civil operation in the area, MINURCAT.
Denne styrken ble etablert til støtte for FNs sivile operasjon i området, MINURCAT.
When the mandate of the EU force expires on 15 March 2009, the UN will take over the lead role and the force will become part of MINURCAT.
Når EU-styrkens mandat utløper 15. mars 2009, vil FN overta ledelsen og styrken innlemmes i MINURCAT.
It is at this time that the Norwegian field hospital is planned to become operational.
Det er fra dette tidspunktet det norske feltsykehuset planlegges å være operativt.
It is proposed that the additional funding associated with this contribution will be covered by a supplementary budget allocation.
Ekstrautgiftene knyttet til bidraget vil bli foreslått tilleggbevilget.
The capability that this represents is approximately in line with that provided on standby for the EU’s Nordic Battlegroup which stood down at the end of its six months standby period on 1 July 2008.
Dette er i stor grad den samme kapasiteten som tidligere har stått på beredskap til EUs nordiske innsatsstyrke, som gikk av vakt 1. juli 2008.
In other words, it is a well trained and fully exercised rapid response capability that we are talking about.
Det er med andre ord en vel trent og hurtig tilgjengelig kapasitet det her er snakk om.
Critically important capability “I am very pleased that Norway, and the Norwegian Armed Forces, are able to provide a critically important capability for a vital UN operation in Africa.
Kritisk kapasitet – Jeg er svært tilfreds med at Norge og det norske Forsvaret har mulighet til å stille en kritisk kapasitet til en viktig FN-operasjon i Afrika.
The link with the conflict in Darfur is obvious.
Forbindelsene til konflikten i Darfur er åpenbar.
By participating in the UN operation in Chad, Norway will be able to contribute towards the strengthening of the UN’s activities in the region as a whole.
Ved å delta i FN-operasjonen i Tsjad vil Norge bidra til å styrke FNs innsats i hele regionen.
We have to remember that the widespread conflicts in Africa, primarily in Congo and in Sudan/Chad, have cost more human lives than all the other conflicts in our time,” says the Defence Minister in conclusion.
Vi må huske på at de store konfliktene i Afrika, i første rekke i Kongo og i Sudan/Tsjad, har tatt flere menneskeliv enn alle andre konflikter i vår tid, avslutter forsvarsministeren.

Videre vil Norge stille et C-130J militært transportfly til rådighet for ISAF fra september 2012.
Norway is considering additional contributions in both Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif when the mission in Faryab is concluded.
Norge vurderer ytterligere bidrag både i Kabul og i Masar-e-Sharif når oppdraget i Faryab avvikles.
Norway will continue to make a substantial military contribution to the operation in Afghanistan until the end of 2014.
Norge vil fortsatt ha et substansielt militært bidrag i Afghanistan helt fram til utgangen av 2014.
"We entered into this together with our allies and do not intend to withdraw until our allies do so when the time comes.
-Vi gikk inn med våre allierte og vil først trekke oss ut med våre allierte når tiden er inne.
The fact that the PRT is terminating its mission now at ISAF's request does not change this in any way," said Mr Barth Eide.
At PRT-oppdraget avsluttes nå i tråd med ISAFs ønske endrer ingenting på dette, sier forsvarsminister Espen Barth Eide
At the same time, the civilian effort will be maintained at a high level.
Den sivile innsatsen vil samtidig videreføres på et høyt nivå.
Norway assisting climate research in Himalayas
Norsk bistand til klimaforskning i Himalaya
The Himalayas are often described as the world’s ”third pole”.
Himalaya-regionen blir ofte omtalt som ”den tredje pol”.
Glaciers are vital resources for freshwater and hydroelectric power, for fisheries, agriculture and transportation.
Isbreene er svært viktige kilder til ferskvann og vannkraft, foruten til fiske, jordbruk og transport.
Increasing temperatures have already caused Himalayan glaciers to start diminishing.
Varmere klima har allerede ført til at flere av isbreene i Himalaya er redusert.
Climate models estimate a further global temperature increase of two to four centigrade by the end of the century.
Klimamodeller anslår en ytterligere temperaturøkning på to til fire grader innen slutten av århundret.
