United Nations published this video item, entitled “Sudan: Historic Darfur peacekeeping mission ends” – below is their description.
A historic peacekeeping operation in Darfur, Sudan winds down as leaders pledge continued support for the country’s people.
This was the first and only hybrid mission in the 75-year history of the United Nations.
A bitter conflict in the troubled Darfur region prompted the Security Council to establish the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur in 2007.
With some 6,000 personnel at its current strength, the mission had a range of responsibilities for securing peace, including those related to delivering humanitarian aid and mediating the conflict.
