The joint UN-African Union Mission in Darfur, UNAMID, has deplored the recent spike in violent attacks perpetrated in the province, pointing out that the recurrence of such incidents at this moment of Sudan’s history can only aggravate division and discord amongst communities. UNAMID called on the Sudanese Government to arrest those responsible for the recent spike in violent attacks against peaceful protestors, civilians and displaced persons in various locations across the province. “The Mission condemns the loss of life, injuries and displacement resulting from such attacks whose main victims are women and children. It calls on the relevant government authorities to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice”, UNAMID said on Tuesday. “The civilian population in Darfur has endured enough suffering, and they deserve to live in peace and tranquility without fear of being attacked,” said the Mission.
