FOUR NIGERIAN PEACEKEEPERS KILLED IN DARFUR, SUDAN

Four Nigerian peacekeepers were killed and eight wounded in an ambush in Sudan’s restive West Darfur region on Tuesday. U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky yesterday said the ambush in El-Geneina took place on Tuesday evening.

Darfur has been torn by conflict since 2003, when rebels took up arms against the central government, accusing it of discrimination and neglect, but clashes continue and peacekeepers are a target.

How sad, I hope the perpetrators don't go unpunished.
