The Stimson Center published in October 2024 a study titled "Civilian Protection in Sudan: Emerging Lessons from UNITAMS" by Julie Gregory.
The United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) began operations in 2020 to assist with civilian protection. It replaced the more robust UN-AU Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID). UNITAMS was not designed to operate in Sudan's current civil war environment, which forced the evacuation of most of its personnel. This study offers lessons learned as a result of this failed mission.
