Senegalese peacekeepers slain in West Darfur repatriated
Unamid Joint Special Representative Mohamed ibn Chambas paid his respects to the three fallen Senegalese peacekeepers on Sunday and laid flowers on their coffins at the airport in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, before their bodies were flown to Khartoum and then repatriated to their country. Chambas was joined by a cross-section of Unamid uniformed personnel. The peacekeepers from a Senegalese formed police unit lost their lives in an ambush on 13 October while escorting a water convoy from el Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, to the Unamid regional headquarters in the state.
