Foreign Ministry, Khartoun (SUNA image)
Khartoum (IINA) – Sudan's Foreign Ministry on Sunday stressed that the appointment of the new head of United Nations African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) was carried out in full coordination and consultation with the government, SUNA reported.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ali al-Sadiq said in press statements that the appointment of the representative for United Nations-African Union Hybrid Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) came against the background of meetings held between Sudan's Foreign Minister Prof. Ibrahim Ghandour and a number of UN officials.
He added that the tripartite team – Sudan, United Nations and African Union (AU) – agreed to continue working jointly, assess the security and humanitarian situation in Darfur and to draw UNAMID's exit strategy.
It is to be recalled that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and AU Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma announced last week the appointment of Martin Ihoeghian Uhomoibhi of Nigeria as their Joint Special Representative for Darfur and Head of UNAMID, with responsibilities including those of African Union-United Nations Joint Chief Mediator.
Zuma and Ban also announced the appointment of Bintou Keita of Guinea as the Deputy Joint Special Representative for UNAMID.
