May 20, 2011 (NEW YROK) – UN chief Ban Ki-moon condemned on Friday the
attack carried on UNMIS peacekeepers while they were escorting
northern Sudanese troops in the flashpoint Abyei border area.
A convoy of UN peacekeepers on Thursday evening was escorting 200
troops of Joint Integrated Units of the Sudan Armed Forces, as part of
the deployment plan agreed to by the parties.
Sudanese army criticized the silence of the UNMIS over the identity of
the attackers and accused the northern Sudanese army of being
responsible of this aggression over its troops.
UN "Secretary-General strongly condemns the attack against an UNMIS
(United Nations Mission in Sudan) escort convoy on 19 May 2011 in
Abyei" said a press statement released by his spokesperson.
Ban Ki-moon termed the attack as " criminal act against the United
Nations" but did not identify the assailants forces. He just said it
was also a serious breach of agreements signed between the parties, in
reference to the Kadugli and Abyei agreement signed in January and
March between the SAF and the SPLA.
He further called on "the parties" to probe the ambush on the UN and
Sudanese troops and bring responsible to justice and voiced concern
over the troop movements into Abyei district.
