Background: *

The situation in Sudan is still bleak. UN have finally arrived, but too late to prevent the dissaster allready a fact. The UN presence has increased since the end of summer but there doesnt seem to be much improvment of the situation in  the country. Nigeria as part of the african union under UN supervision just established a small base in the Kurdufan Province. Its belived that increased presence would somewhat stem the violence and bring a sense of security to the suffering. No hostilities have yet been aimed at UN or AU troops.*

*Story:*
"Thank you very much for your time major, see you soon". The BBC reporter and her team steps into their landrover. They arrived this morning to do a short segment on the group of refugees that did arrive two days ago to the camp. A UN column will arrive tonight and transfer them to the nearest refugee camp. It has almost become routine by now, gathering up people fleeing from the north and west. Shelter them for a few days and then send them off to safety somewhere else.*
*The Nigerian African Union (AU) troops that garrison the compund is doing a good job and there havent been any trouble with anything since you first got here four weeks ago. Then it was just a grassy plain, now its a real camp, complete with a good shelter and barbed wire.*
*The Nigerian gate guard salutes the reporters as they drive through the gate and up to the main road. As a precation, you tasked one of the APCs to escort the team out of your AOR, better safe than sorry you thought.*
*You pick up a bottle of water, screw of the top and take a sip as you gaze over the hills and jungle to the north. Suddenly there is a flash, a thud and then a bang. You shift your view and see that smoke is coming from the APC on the road. One more flash and now you also see a smoke trail coming from some trees besides the road. Another bang follows and the reporters land rover spins of the road, and you see them exiting and running for cover. Small arms fire also starts to erupt at the same time the alarm starts sounding in the camp. The Nigerians are allready manning the trenches around the perimiter. The Panhard APCs are allready manned and have their engines up and running when You reach the the CP and the radio room. This doesnt look good and you need the QRF here ASAP.*
