La Paix musclée de Carolyn McAskie
Who nowadays would want to head a UN peacekeeping mission? Landing in the eye of the storm without belongings or family, finding oneself in everyone’s sights, trying to build peace amid the guns... all the while knowing it can all go wrong just like that. And yet, when the UN asked Carolyn McAskie to head a peacekeeping operation in Burundi in 2003, she jumped at the chance. This dynamic and direct woman is amazing. She managed to get things moving: respect of timetables, integration of rebels, approval of a constitution. At the head of 1,000 civil servants and 5,000 Blue Helmets, she slowly built peace through dialogue and negotiation, even if it involved forceful intervention.
