Smail Chergui, former Ambassador of Algeria to Russia, has been holding the position of African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security (PSC) since October 12, 2013. The AU official had been mentioned in accusations of sexual abuse, abuse of power and administrative abuses, which have led to resignations of AU staff members. The charges against the Superman of Algerian diplomacy have re-surfaced, according to France-based website “Sahel Intelligence”. Shortly afterwards, the employee was fired manu militari following a heated argument with Chergui, says the website. The position of chairman of the AU Peace and Security Commission is a bedrock of the pan-African union.
