The joint UN-African Union Mission in Darfur, UNAMID, is calling for the Sudanese Government to arrest those responsible for the recent spike in violent attacks against peaceful protestors, civilians and displaced persons in various locations across the province. More than 60 people reportedly were killed, and 60 more injured, when armed men attacked Masteri Village, West Darfur, on Saturday, according to the UN humanitarian affairs office, OCHA – the latest in a series of incidents over the past week.
The UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF, added that children were among the victims, with five reportedly killed and nine others injured, all of whom were between the ages of one and three. Some 1,500 homes also were burned. UNAMID is working closely with the Sudanese authorities and local communities to de-escalate tensions and has urged everyone with a stake in restoring stability, to intensify measures to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
UNAMID has welcomed the Government’s announcement that a joint protection force will be deployed to Darfur, where millions remain in displaced camps following fighting that began in 2003 between Government forces and allied militia on one side, and rebel groups on the other. “The civilian population in Darfur has endured enough suffering, and they deserve to live in peace and tranquility without fear of being attacked,” said the Mission.
