United Nations, Rabi'II 2, 1437, Jan 12, 2016, SPA -- The U.N.-African Union (AU) mission in Darfur (UNAMID) expressed concern over an outbreak of violence in western Darfur, Sudan, and called for restraint. “Receiving reports of continuous unrest and sporadic firing across El Geneina and in Mouli with an undetermined number of casualties, UNAMID calls on the government authorities to exert their utmost efforts to contain the situation and investigate the incidents,” the mission said in a statement Monday. Tensions developed Sunday after an unidentified armed group attacked Mouli village. A large number of inhabitants were displaced to El Geneina, where the next day they demonstrated, leading to the closure of schools and commercial businesses in the town. “UNAMID emphasizes the importance of restraint by all parties and stands ready to assist the state authorities as well as the Darfuri people in their efforts to arrive at a peaceful resolution of the situation,” the statement said. --SPA 21:12 LOCAL TIME 18:12 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
