A teenager named Nizar Yahia Abakr died the day before yesterday in Kabkabiya at the age of fifteen years after being shot in the head by a stray bullet fired by unknown gunmen on Friday. An infant aged 22 months was also struck in the back and has been taken to El Fasher Hospital for treatment since the Kabkabiya Hospital did not have the technical capabilities to perform the procedure she needed. A source who declined to be named told Radio Dabanga in an interview from Kabkabiya that the random shootings are intended to intimidate citizens.
