#Sudan #SouthSudan #Abyei We are concerned over the situation with @UNISFA_1 peacekeepers in Gok Machar. We trust that the #BlueHelmets will soon be back on their positions. We underscore the importance of upholding the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). https://t.co/kcZafmDH3q

It's essential to figure out the reasons that provoked tension, and reach out to the sides in order to avoid recurrence of such incidents. In view of the pending renewal of @UNISFA’s mandate, we stress the importance of #BlueHelmets’ presence in #Abyei at this stage. @mfa_russia https://t.co/TYQtawKU5U

#Evstigneeva: @UN_CAR has frequently been the source of scandal. #BlueHelmets have been accused of sexual violence, incl violence against children and of trafficking in natural resources. We also have a lot of questions regarding the incident with #Egyptian troops on 1 November. https://t.co/cIvVWYEjAu

#Polyanskiy: It is the host state that is responsible for providing safe conditions for #BlueHelmets.It’s impossible to attain progress in ensuring security for #peacekeepers without moving forward the peace process, achievement of political settlement of the conflict @mfa_russia https://t.co/kjyOYTCWU6

#Evstigneeva: #BlueHelmets’ operations in #Abyei, just as the work of any other🇺🇳peacekeeping mission, must rest upon basic #peacekeeping principles. We call on the Mission to be guided by the latest report of Committee C-34, i.a. when addressing protection of civilians in Abyei. https://t.co/neaHld0oMg

#Nebenzia: Security situation [in #Mali🇲🇱] remains complicated. Extremists keep terrorizing the local population, attacking Malian military formations and UN🇺🇳 #peacekeepers. Malian armed forces and the UN #BlueHelmets continuously sustain losses. https://t.co/9BHbY2E6io
