The situation in West Darfur is of particular concern following a series of attacks on INGO [international NGOs] convoys. Overall, there have been at least 10 serious attacks on humanitarian workers in the past 30 days, including two attacks by armed men that took place on 1 September.

Our humanitarian efforts are being destroyed on the ground.

There have been clashes between elements of the SSDF and the SPLM.

It could be tens of victims.

The month of September, so far, has not been a good month. There has been quite an increase in both the number and the scale of attacks.

The deployment of military observers and force protection elements in southern Sudan is in progress and as of now, the total military personnel stands at 5,902.
