The African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur or UNAMID called for restraint by all parties after tension in El Geneina town and around Mouli village, 15 kilometers south of El Geneina, West Darfur.
The tensions developed after an unidentified armed group attacked Mouli village on January 9, displacing a large number of inhabitants.
The affected civilians then demonstrated in front of the Governor’s office in El Geneina on January 10.
UNAMID calls on the government authorities to exert their utmost efforts to contain the situation and investigate the incidents.
UNAMID said it is ready to assist the state authorities and the people of Darfur to arrive to a peaceful resolution of the situation.
