Three crew members of UN Humanitarian Air Service abducted in Darfur
Three Bulgarian crew members working for the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service were abducted in Darfur today, just over one month after three of their colleagues were freed after more than a month in captivity.
Eighty-five Pakistani troops arrived in Darfur during the past two days to bolster the strength of the joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force, known as UNAMID, deployed earlier this year to try to end the violence and suffering in the war-ravaged Sudanese region.
