29/12/2019: UN Peacekeeping - UNAMID strongly condemns the looting of its former Headquarters in Nyala, South Darfur

The UN-African Union Joint Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) called for the Sudanese government to take action to prevent further looting and vandalism, and conduct “appropriate” investigations, after UNAMID’s South Sector headquarters were allegedly looted by residents and “individuals in uniform.”

UNAMID handed over the Nyala camp to the government on 19 November 2019. UNAMID said it “particularly deplores” the participation of uniformed personnel in the looting of assets worth approximately $100 million.
