With realities shifting in Darfur, operations on the ground ‘must change’

United Nations, June 12 (UNI) The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Mission in Darfur “must change” in accordance with the shifting realities on the ground, the Organisation’s top peacekeeping official has said, highlighting the need to “closely link” the mission’s drawdown to the scaling up of both peacekeeping and development activities.
“The peacekeeping mission (UNAMID) should be directed to the area where it is most needed, namely at the site of continued conflict in the Jebel Marra,” Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the UN Under-Secretary-General for peacekeeping operations, told the Security Council on Monday.
“In the rest of Darfur, the UN system should leverage the capabilities of the agencies, funds and programmes best suited to tackling the problems that remain there.”
