as a result of the unrest.
Unconfirmed reports send to SN HQ, particularly the
Civilian Component, which can have a negative
influence in UNAMID itself.
Lack of involvement on the side of GoS authorities,
which gives UNAMID more strain.
Aggressive Arab Militia activities in front of UNAMID
Camp its a clear indication of provocation.
