United Nations: The United Nations Security Council on Sunday condemned the attack against UN peacekeepers in the Central African Republic, which left one Kenyan peacekeeper dead.

The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic stated that peacekeepers were attacked by an “unidentified armed group” during a long-range patrol in Tabane village, Haut-Mbomou Prefecture, on Friday morning.

In a press statement, the Security Council expressed their deepest condolences and sympathies to the victim’s family, as well as to Kenya and the United Nations.

The council reiterated that attacks against peacekeepers may constitute war crimes and reminded all parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law.

On Saturday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the attack, urging the Central African Republic authorities to “spare no effort in identifying the perpetrators of this tragedy so that they can be brought to justice swiftly.”
