The Wali (Governor) of Darfur, Minni Minawi, has confirmed the start of operations to recover the goods looted from the former United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) headquarters in El Fasher. The base in the North Darfur capital was initially plundered on December 24-25, and was subsequently cleared of much of what was left, in a second round of looting last week.
Darfur Wali (Governor) and former rebel leader Minni Minawi has pledged to recover all property looted from the former United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) headquarters in El Fasher, as well as the goods looted from warehouses of the World Food Programme (WFP) on December 29, and apologised to the international organisations.
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 start has been made with the implementation of the Darfur security arrangements as stipulated in the October 2020 Juba Peace Agreement. Large groups of militants are gathering again in areas north of El Geneina, capital of West Darfur, where a car driver was shot dead last week.
