Imminent Darfur/Khartoum uprising – how safe are Sierra Leonean peacekeepers?
Information has it that the Sudanese in Khartoum and Darfur want to take to the street in protest to unseat President Al-Bashir.
Sources say residents in both Khartoum and Darfur have had undercover arrangements, organizing and structuring themselves ahead of the planned protest.
It is disclosed to this press that Sierra Leonean peacekeepers, in particular police officers, have been forewarned to be on red alert and not to move in areas believed to be insecure.
Facts have it that a female police inspector serving as United Nations peacekeeper was gunned down owing to the spring up attack by Djandjawee rebels even as peacekeepers stepped up routine security patrols.
Though buried at home, Sierra Leoneans firmly questioned the Inspector’s death and urged the Sierra Leone government to put measures in place guaranteeing the safety and security of hundreds of Sierra Leonean peacekeepers in Sudan.
Disclosures revealing planned protests by the Sudanese sends shock waves to Sierra Leoneans back home.
Persons we spoke to apparently request United Nations’ quick security reply to the safety of personnel serving as peacekeepers (Sierra Leone police and army officers) in Sudan/Darfur.
Even though efforts to get comment of the Sierra Leone Inspector General of Police proved futile, credible information reaching this press indicates that the planned protest may likely commence this Sunday coming.
