The ambush, the UN said, occurred near Kabkabiya, North Darfur. The Secretary-General, in a statement, condemned the attack “in the strongest terms”, saying he expects the Sudanese government to take swift action and bring the perpetrators of this and previous attacks on UNAMID convoys to justice. The incident comes barely five months after seven Tanzanian peacekeepers were killed and 17 injured in what was described as the worst-ever single attack in the region, since 2007. UNAMID deployed to Sudan’s western Darfur region in 2008 as the largest and most expensive peacekeeping operation in the world, employing more than 25,000 military, police and civilian staff. The agency’s core mandate is to provide protection to Darfur civilians and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Over 16,000 UNAMID peacekeepers are currently based in Darfur, where conflict broke in 2003 after mostly non-Arab fighters took up arms against the Sudanese government.
