Operation HEDGEROW
Australia maintains a commitment to contribute to the United Nations and African Union Mission (UNAMID) in Darfur. By stabilising the region and providing support for an effective peace process, the Australian Government and international community aims to deter the resurgence of violence in Darfur. Australia has committed to eight positions in this mission including specialist capabilities in logistics, movements and operations to UNAMID headquarters to better support the activities of the African Union Peacekeepers. However, these positions have been unfilled since mid-August 2009 pending resolution of visas issues between the UN and Government of Sudan.
