| U.N. Peacekeeper Killed in Shelling of Sudan Base |
| 2013-06-15 |
| [An Nahar] Shells hit a United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... base in Sudan's troubled South Kordofan state on Friday, killing one peacekeeper and wounding two more, a U.N. front man said. Two shells struck a U.N. logistics base in South Kordofan's main city Kadugli, U.N. peacekeeping front man Kieran Dwyer told Agence La Belle France Presse. Rebels have been fighting Sudanese forces in the state for the past two years and the U.N. says there is a major humanitarian crisis there. "One United Nations peacekeeper was killed in this shelling and two more injured. We condemn in the strongest terms this shelling," Dwyer said. The U.N. was not able to immediately say who carried out the attack. But there has been fierce fighting between rebel fighters and government forces around Kadugli in recent weeks. |
