The security situation in Tawilla area remains calm but unpredictable. On 7 September, a UNAMID on its way from El Fasher to Tarabat was stopped by a Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) convoy and were informed by the commanding officer not to return before two days due to ongoing SAF operations in the area.
No other significant incidents were reported during the past 24 hours. UNAMID continues to conduct 24/7 patrols in and around the camps and villages.
