Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Interim Force for Abyei has dismissed a statement that one of its peacekeepers was killed during the recent attacks in the region.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Abyei Information Minister Bolis Kuoch told Eye Radio that 32 people were killed including a United Nations peacekeeper during Sunday morning\u2019s attacks on the Abyei Administrative Area.<\/p>\n

The Administrative Area Spokesperson said 20 others were wounded in the attacks on Rum Ameer and Aleel counties.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the report, UNISFA said, 27 people were killed but no peacekeeper was among the casualties.<\/p>\n

UNISFA, condemned the attacks by a group of armed youths on villages in the area around Angath, Wunpeth, and Korioch in the Abyei Administrative Area.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Eye Radio in an exclusive interview this morning, UNISFA\u2019s spokesperson Daniel Adekera added that there was no peacekeeper or civilian killed or wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo peacekeeper has been killed no peacekeeper has wounded, we have our Ghanaian battalion deployed in that area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have confirmed from the battalion commander and the military observers that no UNISFA military or civilian was wounded or killed in the attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adekera said that following the attacks, UNISFA beefed up security in the affected areas by intensifying patrols and closely monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n

According to him, calm has returned to the areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of now, the situation is just calm but unpredictable which is normal in most conflict areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have increased patrols and the area surveillance we are doing both night and day patrols to ensure that there are no further escalations of the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Adekera added that UNISFA\u2019s leadership is currently engaging with the Abyei Area Administration and Ngok Dinka traditional leaderships as well as stakeholders in Juba to ensure peace and security are maintained in the Abyei area.<\/p>\n
