UNAMID stresses commitment to returnees along Chadian border
UNAMID yesterday met with a delegation of the native administration from the towns of Tine and Kornoi, located along the Sudan’s northwest border with Chad, to discuss significant issues affecting the area. The group highlighted the plight of their people owing to the conflict in Darfur and requested the Mission’s support in providing livable conditions to facilitate and encourage returnee activities. They articulated that the border region was severely hit by the conflict with approximately 60 per cent of its population having sought refuge in neighboring Chad.
UNAMID has set in motion an action plan, to immediately conduct two assessment missions to the Kornoi region, largely to identify reliable and credible partners for the implementation of quick impact projects for the area.
UNAMID patrols
UNAMID military forces conducted 105 patrols including routine, short-range, long-range, night and humanitarian escort patrols covering 80 villages and IDP camps.
UNAMID police advisors conducted 111 patrols in villages and IDP camps.
