Denial of humanitarian access in Eastern Sudan (July 2006 - July 2007) ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21615]

"The last quarter of the reporting period showed improvement of humanitarian access in the states of Eastern Sudan, including Kassala State.

This allowed for the initiation of a dialogue and preparations for a children's disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme by UNICEF, in collaboration with the Northern Sudan Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission and the Eastern Front, which has begun together with other child protection programmes.

However, there are still instances of denial of access in Eastern Sudan."
