A group allegedly consisting of members of government forces and former rebels reportedly looted all remaining assets of the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) mission from its former headquarters in the North Darfur capital El Fasher on Monday evening and on Tuesday. Some of the plunder is being sold on a ‘open market’ outside the site.
A curfew came into effect in the North Darfur capital of El Fasher yesterday at 18:00 and continued until 05:00 today, in accordance with a decision of the North Darfur Security Committee after widespread looting of a warehouse of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), that followed the looting of the former African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) logistical base north of El Fasher last weekend.
