Sumario: 30 September 2007, Brussels - Javier SOLANA, EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), strongly condemned yesterday's attack on the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS). The attack was carried out by as yet unidentified militias and led, according to preliminary reports, to ten AMIS personnel killed and many more wounded or missing.
"I strongly condemn the attack on the AMIS peacekeeping forces in Haskanita in Darfur and fully support the statement made earlier today by the Chairman of the Ceasefire Commission, General Martin Luther Agwai, in this regard. The attack is unjustifiable and constitutes a grave violation of the ceasefire agreement. It comes at a particularly sensitive moment shortly before the launch of renewed peace talks on Darfur and the transition from AMIS to the AU/UN hybrid operation, UNAMID. I urge
all parties to act responsibly, to desist from acts of violence and to respect the ceasefire and focus on the upcoming peace talks".
In a press statement by the African Union, the chairman of the Ceasefire Commission, General Martin Luther Agwai, condemned the attack on behalf of the Ceasefire Commission. The EU holds the position of Vice-Chair of the Ceasefire Commission.
