One of them has been airlifted to Khartoum for specialised treatment and is in intensive care, according to UN-Africa Mission in Darfur (Unamid) spokesperson Chris Cycmanick.

Cycmanick said that the names of the critically ill soldiers would remain undisclosed.

“At this time, Unamid cannot release these names, but you can contact your foreign minister to have them if they are that much in need,” he said.
