Gunmen attack two UNAMID staffers in South Darfur

September 21, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — Gunmen attacked two Sudanese working with the hybrid peacekeeping mission in South Darfur, the UNAMID said on Tuesday.

“Two UNAMID national staff members in Muhajeria, in South Darfur were attacked and wounded by armed men on Monday at their residence, the hybrid mission said on Tuesday.

South Darfur state has become the theatre of several recent attacks on the members of the peacekeeping mission. But the state governor blames the UNAMID for refusing the protection of the Sudanese security forces.

“UNAMID must coordinate with us and inform us with movements of its personnel so that we can provide them with protection,” said Abdel-Hamid Mousa Kasha following the short kidnapping last August of two Jordanian peacekeepers.

The two are currently being treated at the Mission’s clinic for light injuries.

The hybrid mission dispatched a security team to the scene to probe the attack in collaborating with local authorities.

    If the UNAMID is dependent on protection of the genocidaires they should pack up their things and leave. The Janjaweed general Kasha’s intention of knowing the movement of the UNAMID forces in advance is to lay an ambush for them using his Janjaweed militias and not to provide a protection.
