Comment: The African Union - United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) is a joint African Union and United Nations peacekeeping mission formally approved by a UN Security Council resolution in 2007 to bring stability to the Darfur region of Sudan while peace talks on a final settlement continue. Seven years later, the need for this peacekeeping mission is still in play. During this span of time, approximately 385,000 people have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict begun in 2003.
UNAMID has the protection of civilians as its core mandate, but is also tasked with contributing to security for humanitarian assistance, monitoring and verifying implementation of agreements, and assisting an inclusive political process aimed at ending the conflict that erupted in the Darfur region of Sudan over 10 years ago.
It is also tasked with contributing to the promotion of human rights and the rule of law, and monitoring and reporting on the situation along the borders with Chad and the Central African Republic.
Nearly one peacekeeper has died per day this October. The price of peace?
