**Two members of the joint UN/African Union (Unamid) peacekeeping force have been kidnapped in Sudan’s western Darfur region, officials say.**A Unamid spokesman told Reuters news agency they were abducted in the western town of Zalingei.
The pair’s nationalities have not been made public.
It comes two days after the UN’s military commander in the region said the six-year war there between the government and rebels was over.
The UN says 300,000 people died in the conflict in Darfur, but the Sudanese government puts the figure at 10,000.
Almost three million people are said to have been displaced by the fighting.
The commander, Gen Martin Agwai, said the region now suffered more from low-level disputes and banditry than the violence of recent years.
