"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
Nairobi, Kenya – The UN peacekeeping force deployed to monitor the North-South peace agreement warned Thursday that the South Sudanese armed forces were impeding its complete pullout from the region.
The UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), which was disbanded after South Sudan officially declared its independence in July, said constant attacks had affected its total pullout.
The UN Security Council has formally wound up the mission and a plan to repatriate its military hardware and other mission equipment launched.
UNAMIS said its plan had been progressing well, but had recently faced major setbacks after elements within the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA) seized its equipment, including vehicles and other equipment.
It said while most of the blue berets have pulled out by 31 Aug, in line with the agreed schedule, rear parties who are guarding military and communications equipment belonging to the respective contributing countries remain behind.
The pullout, which started 12 July, is in compliance with the UN Security Council Resolution 1997, and in close coordination with The Sudanese National Technical Mechanism.
