Pakistani peacekeepers distributed goats, scotch carts, blankets and quilts to the women in Darfur, the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur said. UN’s Military adviser Lieutenant General Carlos Humberto Loitey distributed the items of the project carried out by the Pakistani blue berets stationed in the war-torn country.
“UN Military Adviser Lieutenant General Carlos Humberto Loitey distributes goats, scotch carts, blankets and quilts to the local women in Kabkabiya, North Darfur,” tweeted UNAMID.
The UN mission in Darfur was established on July 31, 2007, after the Security Council adopted the resolution 1769.
UNAMID’s core mandate is to protect civilians, but has also been tasked with contributing to security for humanitarian assistance, monitoring and verifying implementation of agreements, assisting an inclusive political process, contributing to the promotion of human rights and the rule of law, and monitoring and reporting on the situation along the borders with Chad and the Central African Republic.
