UN pulls out from border posts between African states

Rising instability has forced the relocation of personnel from two Joint Border Verification Mechanism sites along the Sudan-South Sudan frontier

The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) has withdrawn all peacekeepers and national monitors from two sites on the border between Sudan and South Sudan, the UN said on Monday. 

The pullout from the Tishwin and Abu Qussa/Wunkur positions was completed over the weekend, according to the statement.
