Unidentified armed men walking past the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) camp in Abyei, the main town of the disputed Abyei area on the border of Sudan and newly independent South Sudan. The violence has displaced thousands of people.
In a statement yesterday, the United Nations strongly condemned the burning and looting currently being perpetrated by armed elements in the area, following the seizure of Abyei town by Sudanese Government troops on 20 May.
