The Secretary-General remains concerned over a string of recent incidents that have contributed to a general deterioration of the situation in Darfur. Continued attacks on UNAMID peacekeepers and abductions and mistreatment of UN staff and humanitarian workers will only aggravate the situation.

The Secretary-General appreciates the restoration today of some humanitarian access to Kalma Camp. He calls upon the Government of Sudan to apprehend and bring to justice those who attack UN staff and humanitarian workers and to take all possible measures to ensure that humanitarian access to all Sudanese remains open and humanitarian space protected.
