Rwanda wants Sudan to explain peacekeepers death in Darfur

Rwandan President Paul Kagame said on Sunday that Khartoum had some explaination to do over the two deadly attacks on Rwandan peacekeepers in Sudan‘s Darfur region.

The governor of northern Darfur, Osman Kebir, told newsmen that several men suspected of the first ambush had been arrested and would be charged.

According to Reuters, during the attacks, three members of Darfur‘s joint United Nations/African Union UNAMID mission were killed on Friday when gunmen opened fire on their convoy in the northern Darfur settlement of Saraf Omra.

Kebir condemned the shooting, saying bandits had started to target UNAMID convoys to steal their vehicles.

The men had been taken to north Darfur‘s capital El Fasher where they would ”be presented before a court to receive punishment for their heinous act”, he said
