Central Darfur villagers kidnapped
Militiamen raided Kolkul village in Zalingei locality, Central Darfur, and kidnapped nine villagers on Saturday. The next day, they released three of them, after a ransom had been paid. A group of gunmen on about 13 horses and camels attacked Kolkul at about 6 am on Saturday, the coordinator of the Zalingei camps told Radio Dabanga. “They searched the houses and captured village elder Saleh Haroun (45), Abdelaziz Shogar Musa (40), Osman Abakar (39), Abdallah Ishag (38), Maryam Shogar Musa (37), Hasan Adam Mohamed (35), Halima Shogar Musa (27), Fatima Shogar Musa (25), and Nurelsham Adam.” The coordinator explained that the raid came in response to the wounding of a militiaman the day before. “One of them had tried to rape a woman of the village on Friday. Her husband intervened, and injured the assailant.” “On Sunday”, he added, “the kidnappers released Saleh Haroun, Nurelsham Adam, and Maryam Shogar Musa, after a ransom of SDG500 ($87) had been paid for each of them.” File photo
