DURAIJ, Sudan – A large group of rebels stormed an African Union peacekeeping base in Darfur, killing at least a dozen soldiers and wounding several others in the biggest attack on the mission so far, the AU said today.
More than 50 AU peacekeepers and support personnel are missing in action since the attack on the base in northern Darfur just after sunset yesterday.
“This is the heaviest loss of life and the biggest attack on the African Union mission,” AU spokesman Nourredine Mezni said.
