EU High
Representative Catherine Ashton Thursday
expressed deep concern about the recent increase
in serious security incidents in Darfur.
She strongly condemned the attack on UNAMID
peacekeepers that left four Nigerian peacekeepers
dead and eight others injured in an ambush in El
Geneina, West Darfur, her spokeman Michael Mann
said in a statement.
Ashton called on Government of Sudan to work
closely with UNAMID to bring the perpetrators to
justice.
The High Representative is also deeply alarmed at
reports of a violent incident in Hashaba in North
Darfur, which appears to have cost the lives of
large numbers of civilians, including through aerial
bombardment, noted the statement.
She called for UNAMID to be allowed immediate
access to the area and urged all parties to end the
cycle of violence in Darfur and to pursue a
comprehensive and inclusive peace settlement.
