UN Suspends Its Road Movements in Part of West Darfur, Sudan, After Attack On Truck
UN News Service (New York)
February 3, 2005 Posted to the web February 3, 2005
United Nations road movement has been suspended on the route between two of the main towns in West Darfur state in Sudan after armed men yesterday fired at a clearly marked UN truck and looted all the personal belongings of the driver and passengers. One uniformed person and another wearing civilian clothes fired at least 10 shots at a water and sanitation truck as it travelled from the state capital of Geneina to the town of Mornei, the UN Advance Mission in Sudan (UNAMIS) reported today. The truck was marked with the logos of a UN agency and a non-governmental organization (NGO).
In North Darfur state, UNAMIS said it had received reports that armed tribesmen had attacked a camp containing members of the rebel Sudan Liberation Army (SLA), and that the SLA had stopped a bus north of El Fasher and abducted four passengers, killing three.
The latest attacks come as Security Council members study a report by a UN-appointed commission of inquiry that found that genocide has not occurred in Darfur, an impoverished region the size of France on Sudan's western flank.
The five-member commission found that while the Sudanese Government had not conducted a policy of genocide, both its forces and allied Janjaweed militias had carried out "indiscriminate attacks, including killing of civilians, torture, enforced disappearances, destruction of villages, rape and other forms of sexual violence, pillaging and forced displacement." The panel also concluded that rebel forces in Darfur were responsible for possible war crimes, including murder of civilians and pillage, and recommended that the Council refer its dossier on the situation in Darfur to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and up to 1.85 million others are internally displaced or have fled to neighbouring Chad since rebel groups took up arms against the Sudanese Government in early 2003, partly in protest at the distribution of economic resources
