Failed Mediation Dispute in Darfur Leaves Peacekeeper Dead, 3 Injured
- UN Confirms

AllAfrica.com - 9 hours ago
Armed men in Sudan's western region today killed a Rwandan peacekeeper
and injured three others resulting in condemnations from United
Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and senior official Mohamed Ibn
Chambas who is urging the Sudanese Government to bring those
responsible to account.

The peacekeepers were part of a UN-African Union mission (UNAMID) team
attempting to mediate a tribal dispute between Fur people and Arab
militia in a village in North Darfur.

"The Arab militia elements, nevertheless, became hostile towards
UNAMID peacekeepers and started shooting at them," the Mission said,
at which point the peacekeepers returned fire.

The three injured peacekeepers are in critical condition at an UNAMID
hospital in Kabkabiya, west of El Fasher, the North Darfur state
capital. A number of other people were also injured.

The Secretary-General has conveyed his condolences to the family of
the fallen peacekeeper and the Government of Rwanda, and wishes for a
full and speedy recovery to those injured, according to his
spokesperson.

Mr. Chambas, UNAMID Joint Special Representative condemned the
"heinous criminal act in the strongest possible terms".

"Our peacekeepers were trying to mediate the dispute in good faith and
regrettably their efforts went unappreciated," he said.

Calling for justice, the Joint Special Representative stressed that
the shootings amount "to a crime against humanity for which those
responsible must be brought to account".

Since the inception of UNAMID in 2007, at least 58 peacekeepers were
killed in hostile action in Darfur.

Inter-communal violence has increased in the region, according to Mr.
Ban's latest report to the Security Council, which last month revised
UNAMID's mandate. Among its revised responsibilities, the Mission is
to mediate between the Government and non-signatory armed movements on
the basis of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur; and to provide
support, in conjunction with the UN Country Team, to the mediation of
community conflict, including through measures to address its root
causes.
