DARFUR: JOINT UN-AFRICAN ENVOY VOICES CONCERN OVER RECENT
HOSTILITIESNew York, Aug 14 2013 4:00PMThe head of the joint African
Union-United Nations peacekeeping mission in Darfur today met with a
senior government official in the region to discuss the increasingly
violent clashes between tribal groups in and around El Daein and Adila
in East Darfur.

"The violence must stop for the sake of everyone caught in this
terrible ordeal. Fighting is not the answer and I urge all parties to
resolve their differences through dialogue," the Joint Special
Representative and head of the mission (UNAMID), Mohamed Ibn Chambas,
said in a <"http://unamid.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=11027&ctl=Details&mid=14214&ItemID=22576&language=en-US">news
release before meeting with the Chairperson of the Darfur Regional
Authority, Eltijani Seisi.

Mr. Chambas said he was deeply concerned over the high number of
casualties as a result of fighting between the Rezeigat and Ma'alia.

Unresolved disputes concerning access to land resources reportedly
triggered tensions between the two groups earlier this month.

The security situation has further deteriorated over the past week,
resulting in more crimes against civilians, UNAMID said.

"In response, UNAMID increased its presence and patrolling in the area
and transported officials from the Darfur Regional Authority to the
locality to support cessation of hostilities," according to the
mission, which also sent senior personnel to the field to provide
technical advice in the mediation.

Briefing the UN Security Council last month, Mr. Chambas said that the
inter-ethnic clashes are "particularly worrying."

The increased militarization and proliferation of arms amongst
civilian populations in Darfur – accompanied by the deterioration in
the humanitarian conditions for host communities and displaced
populations – has led to more deaths, injury and displacement, than
the fighting between the Government and non-signatory groups this
year, he told the 15-member Council.

The clashes have also led to attacks against UNAMID peacekeepers. The
latest occurred on 12 August, when a mob attacked a patrol in El Daein
town. The peacekeepers were able to return safely to their base.

In mid-July, seven Tanzanian peacekeepers were killed and 17 other
members of the mission were injured in a roadside ambush.

UNAMID and the Government have been supporting local mediation
initiatives to facilitate reconciliation and peaceful co-existence.Aug
