Board orders deportation for trucker in horrific Humboldt Broncos crash
The truck driver who caused the horrific bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team has been ordered to be deported.
The United Nations Security Council voted Friday to end its political mission of a few hundred people dedicated to ending the civil war in Sudan.
Russia abstained from the unanimous vote to end UNITAMS, the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan. The United States' and United Kingdom's ambassadors expressed dismay over the decision to pull out from Sudan but said the move was inevitable, given the Sudanese government's desire to end the mission's presence.
While the United States voted in favour of this resolution in order to enable a safe and orderly drawdown, U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood said, "we are gravely concerned that a reduced international presence in the Sudan will only serve to embolden the perpetrators of atrocities."
A paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces, which was born out of the notorious Janjaweed militias, has been at war against the Sudanese military since mid-April, when months of tension exploded into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, and other urban areas.
The conflict has wrecked the country and forced more than 6 million people out of their homes, either to safer areas inside Sudan or to neighboring countries.
United Nations officials say that the UN will keep trying to help Sudanese people with the continuing presence of various humanitarian agencies.
"What is clear and what should be clear to everyone is that the United Nations is not leaving Sudan," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters on Thursday.
But the end of UNITAMS removes a tool, albeit a flawed one, for trying to bring a measure of stability to Sudan, said Cameron Hudson, a former U.S. official specializing in Africa and now a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"What we are looking at now is potentially an extended period of time when there is no overarching UN presence in the country," Hudson said Friday.
