Two more Rwandan peacekeepers have been killed and one injured in Sudan's Darfur region - the second deadly attack on the contingent1 in two days.

苏丹达尔富尔地区两名卢旺达维和部队成员被杀，一人受伤，这是两天以来发生的第二起致命袭击。

The soldiers were distributing分配，分布 water at a camp for the displaced on Saturday as gunmen in civilian2 clothes approached and opened fire, officials say.

On Friday, three Rwandan peacekeepers were killed and two injured in an attack on a convoy护送，护卫.

The Rwandans were serving in the joint3 UN-African Union peacekeeping force.

Saturday's attack took place at a camp in Shangil Tobaa, 65km (40 miles) south of the regional capital El Fasher, officials said.

They did not provide further details.

A Unamid spokesman said it was too early to tell if the two attacks were linked.

'Very unstable4'

Twenty-two members of the now 18,000-strong Unamid force have died in Darfur in the past two years, with Rwandans accounting5 for the most victims from a single nation.

The BBC's James Copnall in the Sudanese capital Khartoum says the intensity6 of the fighting in Darfur has declined over the last few years, but the region remains7 very unstable.

Violence flared8 in the region in 2003 when black African rebel groups took up arms against the Sudanese government in Khartoum, complaining of discrimination and neglect.

Pro-government Arab militias9 then started a campaign of violence, targeting the black African population.

Rights groups estimate 300,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in 2003, although Khartoum has put the death toll死亡人数 at about 10,000.

About 2.7 million people are thought to have been displaced during the conflict.
