In a handout picture made available by Albany Associates, Gambian soldiers serving with the joint United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) stand on parade during celebrations marking the International Day for the United Nations Peacekeepers Day at a camp in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, on May 29, 2008. A memorial was unveiled today at the former headquarters of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) – the precursor to the new UN-AU joint force which took over on January 1, 2008 – to the 61 personnel who lost their lives while serving with the African Union peacekeeping operation in Sudan’s war-wracked western region since AU forces were first deployed in June 2004.
