Dinka Malual sultan: fake UN patrol sighted in N. Bahr El Ghazal
Sultan Chol Arop, sultan of the Dinka Malual tribe in Northern Bahr El Ghazal, told Radio Dabanga that citizens in the region saw a tank and three heavily armed Land Cruisers carrying people wearing clothes displaying the letters “UNAMID.” He said that those people dressed as UNAMID – the peacekeeping mission in Darfur – have nothing to do with the Mission but instead are using this dress as a ruse.

He accused Abdullah Masar, an advisor to the President of the Republic, of being the tumult. The Dinka Malual leader in an interview also strongly denied accusations by Masar that Darfurian armed movements are present in the region.
