Unknown assailants killed seven UN peacekeepers and injured 17 others in an attack on a UN patrol as it was heading back to its base in Nyala state. The head of the UN peacekeeping force recently warned of the deteriorating security situation in the country, which has already displaced over 300,000 people this year, “due mostly to tribal clashes.” Yesterday some 300 armed men from Lakes state killed at least 10 people and injured 15 more in an attack in Unity state.
