Murder, robberies in South and Central Darfur

A 21-year old resident of the Nama camp for the displaced in Kass locality, South Darfur, was killed on Wednesday. On Thursday, two displaced were robbed in Central Darfur. “Zaki El Nur was shot dead by a militia member working for the agricultural committee in Kass because of a disagreement about the payment of fees,” a colleague of the victim reported to Radio Dabanga. The witness added that government-backed militiamen are intimidating, assaulting, and killing displaced working at their farmlands. He called upon the local authorities to protect the farmers from “these ongoing attacks”. Robberies Gunmen intercepted Adam Mohammed Ali on the road between Zalingei, capital of Central Darfur, and Hamidiya camp for the displaced on Thursday evening. They stole his Galaxy mobile phone worth about SDG4,000 ($700), and SDG2,000 ($350). Earlier that day, Hamidiya camp resident Abdallah Kuj was robbed of his three donkeys, when he was returning home from a visit to a nearby valley. File photo: A gunman in Darfur (CNN)
