UNISFA pulled peacekeepers from two Sudan-South Sudan border sites due to rising danger, though it still backs existing border security efforts.
The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) has withdrawn peacekeepers and monitors from two border sites—Tishwin and Abu Qussa/Wunkur—along the Sudan-South Sudan frontier due to escalating instability.
The move, completed over the weekend, follows a security assessment that deemed the situation too dangerous for safe operations.
The sites were part of a border monitoring mechanism established after 2011 clashes.
The mission’s headquarters were previously relocated to Abyei after an attack on Bangladeshi peacekeepers in December.
Despite the withdrawal, UNISFA continues to support agreed-upon border security arrangements amid ongoing conflict in Sudan and instability in South Sudan.
The final status of Abyei remains unresolved.
