Peacekeepers of the joint United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) continue to face challenges.

On Sunday they lost a colleague. 

The peacekeeper from Bangladesh was killed early in the morning in the mission's community policing centre inside the Otash camp for internally displaced people in Nyala, South Darfur.

Thirty-eight peacekeepers have been killed since UNAMID was deployed to protect displaced people in Darfur in December 2007.
