NAIROBI: The joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur, UNAMID, has slammed the Sudanese government for killing dozens in a refugee camp in the restive province, accusing it of violating the Darfur Peace Agreement.

Sudanese security forces Monday opened fire in the Kalma internally displaced person camp near the capital of South Darfur, Nyala.

“While the alleged presence of weapons in the Kalma camp is a real security concern for the authorities, the actions taken to address it are a clear violation of the Darfur Peace Agreement,” UNAMID said yesterday.
