The hybrid African Union-United Nations peacekeeping mission in Darfur is set to stop its operations by 22G, today Thursday (Midnight in Sudan).

The mission has been in Darfur since 2007 to try to end the conflict in the region after 300,000 people were killed and more than 2 million displaced.

The mission had 15,000 troops when it started and, with gradual withdrawal since 2017, now has about 4,000 troops.

It will be replaced by a new political mission in 2021.
