Twitt by Atib LATEST STATEMENTS 11/17/2014 New York, 17 November 2014 - Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on Darfur The Secretary-General is deeply troubled about persistent allegations of mass rape in Thabit, North Darfur. The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) visited Thabit on 9 November. However, the heavy presence of military and police in Thabit made a conclusive investigation difficult. UNAMID has since then attempted to gain further access to shed light on what happened. The Secretary-General is concerned that after intense consultations with the Goverment in Khartoum and with local authorities in Darfur , UNAMID was yesterday denied access to Thabit. Only a full investigation by UNAMID will help shed light over these serious allegation. The Secretary-General therefore urges the Government of Sudan to grant UNAMID unfettered access, without further delay, to Thabit and its population so that these reports can be verified .
