The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) will evacuate its logistics base in Kadugli, Sudan, in the wake of the \u201cheinous attack\u201d this past weekend that killed six Bangladeshi peacekeepers and seriously injured eight others.<\/span> <\/span>
\u201cThe decision, which was communicated to the relevant authorities, follows an extensive assessment of the prevailing security situation in Kadugli which has disabled the capacity for the UN to function in the area,\u201d the Mission said in a statement <\/a>on Thursday.
UNISFA<\/a> was established in 2011 in Abyei, the disputed oil-rich region between Sudan and South Sudan. Its mandate includes monitoring and verifying the redeployment of forces from the region, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid, and protecting civilians.
Last month, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Africa Martha Pobee told the Security Council<\/a> that progress on the political track has been slow since the start of the Sudan war in 2023 and increasing political stability in South Sudan.
She also said the operational environment in Kadugli \u201chas become untenable\u201d and the fighting was putting peacekeepers at risk.
UNISFA underlined commitment to the implementation of the mandate of the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM).
The Mission is \u201cclosely monitoring the developments on the ground\u201d and \u201cwill reconsider the resumption of our activities in Kadugli when the situation permits.\u201d
Venezuelans living in other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean contribute more than $10.6 billion every year to local economies mostly through spending on food, education and healthcare.
The finding comes in a report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM<\/a>) published on Thursday, International Migrants Day<\/a>.
The analysis is based on research conducted since 2021 in Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Peru and Aruba.
Other findings show that Venezuelans make valuable tax contributions, representing approximately just over one per cent of total tax revenue in these countries.  In Colombia alone, this has exceeded $529 million in a single year.
Globally, there are more than 300 million migrants, according to UN estimates. 
While the International Day provides an opportunity to shine a spotlight on their invaluable contributions, it also highlights the increasingly complex environment in which migration occurs.
UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/a> noted that conflicts, climate-related disasters and economic pressures continue to drive millions to seek safety or opportunity outside their homelands.
\u201cThis past year saw record levels of internal displacement, rising humanitarian needs across ongoing and new crises, and, tragically, the highest-ever death toll of migrants in transit,\u201d he said in his message<\/a> to mark the Day.
\u201cBy supporting regular pathways for migration, we can enable opportunities for migrants, better protect their rights, and contribute to greater prosperity in the countries migrants come from and those that host them.\u201d 
Meanwhile in New York, the UN General Assembly observed the first-ever International Day against Colonialism in All Its Forms and Manifestations<\/a> which supports the implementation of the\u202fDeclaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples,<\/a> adopted 65 years ago.
Since then, the UN helped\u202fmore than 60 territories\u202f\u2013\u202fhome to over\u202f80 million people\u202f\u2013 pursue self-determination\u202fand\u202femerge\u202fas independent states.
However, \u201cthat legacy is unfinished,\u201d said<\/a> the Assistant Secretary-General for Peacebuilding Support, Elizabeth Spehar.
Today, 17 non-governing territories remain and \u201cvestiges of colonialism persist \u2013 not only on maps, but in the architecture\u202fof global power.\u201d
Institutions like the Security Council and the international financial system \u201cbear the imprint of a world that no longer exists \u2013 a world of empires, not of equals,\u201d\u202fshe said.
Ms. Spehar, who spoke on behalf of the Secretary-General, recalled that the UN was created 80 years ago to save succeeding generations from war, uphold human rights, and advance progress in larger freedom.
\u201cLet us renew that\u202fpromise\u202f\u2013 not only by ending colonialism in its traditional forms, but by dismantling its remnants wherever they endure.\u201d
