UNMIS CONDEMNS THE ATTACK AGAINST UN CONVOY IN ABYEI
20 May, 2011
The United Nations Mission In Sudan (UNMIS) strongly condemns the
attack against its convoy on 19 May in Abyei. The incident took place
at around 18h30 in Dokura, an area controlled by the Southern Sudan
Police Services (SSPS), approximately 10 kilometers north of Abyei
town.
At the time of the attack, the convoy was transporting 200 troops of
Joint Integrated Units of the Sudan Armed Forces to their designated
post, as part of the deployment plan of the Kadugli Agreements, which
had been agreed to by all parties.
This act constitutes a serious breach of previous agreements made
between the two parties. It is also a criminal attack against the UN.
UNMIS calls on the parties to immediately investigate the incident and
take appropriate action against the perpetrators of this deliberate
attack.
We remind the parties of their responsibility to protect civilians in
the area. UNMIS remains ready to continue to assist the parties in the
implementation of the Kadugli Agreement and urge them to do everything
possible to stay on course in the implementation of this agreement and
avoid any actions that could derail it.
