 24/12/2020: Radio Dabanga - UNAMID head lauds new Sudan govt as mission ends

 With the joint UN-AU Mission in Darfur (Unamid) ending on December 31, its Special Representative Jeremiah Mamabolo noted “major” challenges including rising numbers of displaced people whenever conflict erupts, factional fighting between rebel groups, intercommunal conflicts and that the Sudan Liberation Movement of Abdelwahid al-Nur continuing to fight.

Nonetheless, Mamobolo claims that Sudan is now “in the right hands” for peacekeeping, in contrast to al-Bashir’s government which “would not allow us to dispense relief because it saw certain parts of Sudan as enemy territory.”
