Update on security situation
The security situation remains relatively calm.
Mission adopts confidence-building strategy
UNAMID has adopted a community confidence-building strategy which aims at focusing on the Mission’s efforts towards enhancing community confidence through the targeted use of quick impact projects; identification and allocation of additional funding and resources for key priority areas; enhancing protection in internally displaced person (IDP) camps and in the wider community; and up-scaling advocacy and communication initiatives to ensure that key messages are disseminated amongst the community.
The strategy is a response to the upsurge in tribal conflicts and harassment targeting the international community in South and West Darfur.
UNAMID patrols
UNAMID military forces conducted 88 patrols including routine, short-range, long-range, night and humanitarian escort patrols covering 79 villages and IDP camps.
UNAMID police advisors conducted 112 patrols in villages and IDP camps.
