UN Security Council slams attack on African Union-UN peacekeepers in Darfur

| The UN Security Council on Tuesday condemned "in the strongest terms" the April 20 attack on a peacekeeping patrol of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID).

The attack wounded four, and one of them subsequently died as a result of wounds sustained in the ambush.
"The members of the Security Council expressed their condolences to the family of the peacekeeper killed in the attack, as well as to the government of Togo," said a press statement issued here late Tuesday by the council.
"They called on the government of Sudan to bring the perpetrators to justice and stressed that there must be an end to impunity for those who attack peacekeepers."
"The members of the Security Council reiterated their full support for UNAMID and called on all parties in Darfur to cooperate with the mission," the statement added.
The team of 32 officers had been patrolling in an internally displaced persons camp and were returning to their base camp when men armed with AK-47 rifles attacked them, wounding two peacekeepers. In the ensuing clash, which also involved an UNAMID rescue unit, another two peacekeepers were wounded.

Humanitarian action essential in Jonglei / Statement by Toby Lanzer, Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan
I am deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Jonglei State, where thousands of civilians are in need of assistance and protection, and where humanitarian workers have treated more than 450 casualties, including children, since February. We have seen houses burned down and civilian property destroyed. Facilities such as schools and health centres have been robbed, looted and occupied by armed actors. In the past week, hostilities in Maruwa Hills, Pibor County, forced scores of civilians to flee their homes and aid agencies to relocate their staff.
