Kordofan/Soudan : Attaque de drones contre des Casques bleus de l'ONU, 6 morts
Drone attacks on the United Nations logistics base in Kadougli, Sudan , have killed six peacekeepers and injured eight others, confirmed UN Secretary-General António Guterres .
The victims are members of the Bangladeshi peacekeeping contingent serving in the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei ( UNISAF ).
In a statement, Mr. Guterres reiterated that " Attacks targeting UN peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law ." He further urged all parties to the conflict to respect their obligation to protect UN personnel and civilians.
The Secretary-General described the attack, which took place this weekend in South Kordofan, as " unjustifiable " and stated that "those responsible will be held accountable."
For his part, the UN's head of peacekeeping operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix , expressed his " shock " and " strong condemnation " on the social network X. He reiterated that " Blue Helmets are not a target. This attack could constitute a war crime ."
Kadougli is an area affected by fierce fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). According to the UN, this armed conflict between rival factions, which began two and a half years ago, has already displaced millions of people across Sudan.
