PATROL REPORT
On 16
August 2009, at about 09.00 hours the United Nations Police (UNPOL) Patrol Team
from Community Police Centre (CPC) Nyala arrived at the Internally Displaced
Persons (IDP) Kalma Camp during their weekly patrol plan. The Patrol Team was
composed of five UNPOL Officers from CPC Nyala, travelling in two Toyota
Land-Cruisers registration plates UN-23876 and UN-23462. The Team was escorted
by a section from the Nepalese Formed Police Unit (FPU) based in Nyala Team
Site (TS) lead by Mr. Kay Rabindra. The FPU Section was moving in two 4x4
pick-ups and one Armored Personnel Carrier (APC).
The Patrol
Commander was the CPC Team Leader Ms. Halima Mwanga (CP-45763) from Zambia.
They travelled the 40 km distance between the Team Site and the IDP Camp in
almost two hours due to the difficulties encountered in the terrain and poor
road conditions, in the rainy season. The visit was of paramount importance
because of the complete absence of UNPOL presence in the area since the
beginning of the rainy season and also in view of recent information about the
presence of militia groups operating in the area.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 01
Upon arrival at the IDP Camp, the
UNPOL patrol went directly to the house of the IDP Camp Traditional Chief.
However, they were informed that the Camp Chief had left very early that day in
order to visit the local governor at Nyala village. The UNPOL Team then moved to the IDP Camp
Manager’s Office, located at the “Area 51” within the IDP Camp. The location is
well known and visible from all parts in the Camp, because of the large World Food
Program (WFP) warehouse located there. Many of the Non-Governmental
Organization (NGOs) had established their containerized Field Offices in that
location, so it is also informally known as the “Humanitarian Area”.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT # 02
Once at the location, the UNPOL Team
met the IDP Camp Manager Mr. Giovanni Bosco, the Office of Coordination for
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) representative, just outside his office. Around
09.30 hours, the UNPOL Team was surprised by the sudden noise of what appeared
to be a gun battle. It appeared that the shooting incident was very close to
the UNPOL location. Immediately the
UNPOL officers took protection by lying beside their UN vehicles, while they
saw the OCHA representative running away towards his office, seeking safeguard.
The Nepalese FPU immediately established a security perimeter around the
location, using their APC vehicle to secure the access road leading to the
site. The FPU Section commander reported the incident over the radio to the
Joint Operations Centre (JOC) at Nyala TS. After several minutes of fierce
gunfire, the shooting stopped.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT # 03
After verifying that all the members
of the UNPOL Patrol Team were accounted for and in good health condition, as
well as the humanitarian officials at the OCHA Office, the Patrol Commander
decided to investigate the causes of the gunfire. She requested some of her
UNPOL colleagues stay at the OCHA Office, while she left accompanied by UNPOL
Officer Dario Garcia (CP-5478) on board the Nepalese FPU APC Vehicle. At about
50 meters away from the OCHA Office, and just around the corner of the WFP
warehouse, they noticed the presence of several local military personnel. They also noticed a KAMAZ military vehicle
equipped with a heavy machine gun, positioned at the corner of the warehouse.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT # 04
The UNPOL Team was informed that at
about 09.30 hours one of the security guards posted at the WFP warehouse saw
the unauthorized entry of a large truck moving towards the warehouse. The truck
was carrying several armed personnel. The security guard warned the driver to
stop the truck, but the armed men started shooting at him. He repelled the
aggression by using his AK-47 rifle. The exchange of fire caught the attention
of the military garrison stationed outside the IDP Camp. The military personnel
immediately got onboard their KAMAZ vehicle and engaged the assailants. The
exchange of gunfire between the local military personnel and the assailants
lasted for about 15 minutes. The attackers left the place on board their truck.

NARRATIVE
When reaching
the spot of the incident, the UNPOL Team noticed the presence of an armed KAMAZ
military vehicle belonging to the local military forces and personnel that were
very nervous and exasperated. By interviewing the Sudanese military commanding
officer at the scene, Captain Mohammed Bashir, the UNPOL Team Leader learned
that the gunfire originated when a Mercedes-Benz truck carrying several armed
men, allegedly belonging to one of the militia groups operating in the area
appeared in the Camp with clear hostile intentions. The truck didn´t stop at
the military check-point at the IDP Camp and attempted to break into the World
Food Programme (WFP) warehouse. The Sudanese soldiers stationed just outside
the IDP Camp were alerted of the situation, they moved to the location and
engaged in a fierce gun battle that lasted about 15 minutes, forcing the
attackers to leave the place. No military personnel were injured during the attack, however one of the
WFP security guards sustained a bullet wound to the left shoulder. He was given
first aid by military personnel and then evacuated to the medical clinic of the
Medecins-Sans-Frontiers (MSF) at “Area 51”. According to the military personnel
the local security guard should be commended as he faced and confronted the attackers
alone until the arrival of the military forces. He was seen being taken to the
clinic, and was doing fine. Someone informed that he is a former member of the
military or a policeman. Not
one of the attackers was apprehended, killed and/or left behind, however the
local military discovered some emergency bandages and traces of blood at the
location where the attackers were engaging the military forces. The attackers were identified as members of
one of the militia rebel groups operating in the area since a few months, known
as "Intihari", and the reasons for the attack were believed to be
because of the recent delivery of fuel and medicine supplies to the WFP
warehouse. The attackers are being pursued by a Special Operations
Platoon from the military, with the support of a helicopter, and personnel
dispatched from Nyala Regional HQ. They intend to chase, locate and apprehend the
perpetrators of this attack. The local military forces have not ruled out any
possibility; however they do not believe that the attackers may come back again
to the IDP Camp. The following is the dialogue between UNPOL Team Leader Ms.
Halima Mwanga and the Army Commanding Officer Captain Mohammed Bashir, of the
Sudanese military detachment.
DIALOGUE
UNPOL Officer: Al Sallam Allaikoum, good morning. I am
the UNPOL Team Leader of the Community Police Centre (CPC) Nyala, and would
like to ask you the details of what just happened here.
Capt Bashir: Good morning to you too. I am
Captain Mohammed Bashir, from the 103 Regiment of Northern Region, and I am the
Commanding Officer of the military detachment stationed outside the IDP - Kalma
Camp.
UNPOL Officer: We were just outside the OCHA Office at
Area 51, when we heard the shooting. Can you tell us what happened exactly?
Capt Bashir: Well, we were at the military
camp, when some of my soldiers noticed that a Mercedes-Benz truck carrying
armed men was passing by the check-point and entered the Camp without stopping,
moving towards Area 51. My personnel realized then that it was an attack, and
we came in full force to protect the warehouse and to respond to this
attack.
UNPOL
Officer: Have you been able to
identify the attackers, or their intentions?
Capt Bashir: We know that in the area there
have been many rebel movements operating for several months, however based on
our gathered intelligence, we are quite sure that these attackers are part of
the newly organized militia group known as "Intihari", that had been
recently seen operating in the area.
UNPOL
Officer: Do you know the reasons
or the motives for their attack against the WFP warehouse?
Capt Bashir: We believe that most likely they
realized that the warehouse received a large supply of fuel and medicine a few
days ago, and I am pretty sure that they launched the attack in order to steal
these goods.
UNPOL
Officer: Were there any casualties
as a consequence of this attack?
Capt Bashir: Unfortunately the WFP local
security guard was hit by a bullet on his left shoulder, nothing serious I
believe. He was assisted immediately by our soldiers and then transferred to
the Medecins-Sans-Frontiers (MSF) Clinic in the
"Area 51". There are no casualties among our forces.
UNPOL Officer: And what about the assailants, was
anybody injured? Were you able to capture any of them?
Capt. Bashir: Well, I am not sure on the status
of the attackers. You know very well they do not leave their own people behind,
even if they are killed. So everyone was evacuated in the same truck they came
in. We could not detain nor find anyone left
behind, however we found some traces of blood and first-aid emergency bandages
scattered all around the area from where they were fighting us.
UNPOL Officer: Do you know anything about the status
of the local security agent that was on duty at the WFP warehouse?
Capt Bashir: Well that guy is a hero, he
faced and confronted the attackers alone, without his prompt reaction I am sure
that the perpetrators would have been able to gain access to the warehouse and
take away all they wanted. I remember someone told me that he was a former
member of the military or a policeman.
UNPOL
Officer: Is there anyone following
the attackers or trying to capture them?
Capt Bashir: I have dispatched one of my
Lieutenants in charge of the Special Operations Platoon to follow the
attackers. We are also expecting that a reinforced platoon will be dispatched
from Regional HQ to assist in this operation, even with the support of a
helicopter.
UNPOL Officer: What about the security of the IDP
camp? Do you believe that the IDP population might be targeted by this same
group in the future?
Capt Bashir: This is very difficult to
predict. However we are not ruling out any possibility. We know these groups do
not attack the camps unless there is something attractive for them, like in
this case, the fuel and medicine. Anyhow we are very close, also the police are
working with us, so I do not believe they will come again.
UNPOL Officer: Captain Bashir, many thanks for your
time, we are heading back to "Area
51." Have a nice day!
Capt Bashir: Enjoy the rest of the day and
wishing you a safe journey back to Nyala village. Please inform the
Humanitarian officials they do not have to worry; we are here to protect the
IDP camp.
UNPOL Officer: Many thanks for your reassurance. I
will pass your message to them.
Massalamah.
Capt Bashir: Massalamah.
