July 7, 2010 (Nyala) — Vehicles belonging to the African Union/United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) were carjacked by unknown armed men.

The drivers of vehicles were released unharmed.

UNAMID Officials reported that vehicles were taken by armed men in separate incidents in Nyala, South Darfur.

A statement made available to the public by the mission headquarters reads: “the first vehicle, belongs to Movement Control, was carjacked near Nyala airport, while the second, belonging to Water Sanitation, was carjacked near the UNAMID Super Camp. Both vehicles were driven by international staff members, who were both released unharmed, adding the incidents were reported to the Government of the Sudan (GOS) police and an investigation is in progress".
