AU-UN peacekeepers do final patrols in Darfur

  1. African Union and United Nations peacekeepers in Sudan’s Darfur region are carrying out their final patrols as the 13-year mission officially comes to an end.

A spokesman for the mission said the UN would still be present in the country and would continue to support the Sudanese people.
