A man was killed and two injured at Gereida internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in South Darfur on Saturday. A relative of the deceased, named as Adoma Yahya, told Radio Dabanga that 10 militants traveling on horseback opened fire on Yahya and two of his friends when they were returning from the market. Yahya died in hospital, where the other two, named as Ismail Muhammad and Nimr Jamal remain in a serious condition. The source said the militants seized three horses from the camp before attacking the men. The incident was reported to the police and the army at Gereida. However they reportedly refused to track down the militants because of a lack of fuel, leading to displaced citizens setting about tracking down the perpetrators themselves.
