UN Mission in Sudan Patrols Abyei Area in Wake of Clashes
Zambian peacekeepers with the UN Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) are pictured on patrol in Sudan’s Abyei region.
The Mission has intensified its patrols in this area in the wake of violent clashes that have killed dozens before and during Southern Sudan’s referendum on self-determination. Abyei was meant to have its own referendum on whether to join the southern or northern part of Sudan but disputes over who is eligible to vote among other issues have left the referendum indefinitely postponed.
