On Friday, a group of militiamen threatened a herdsman and stole 30 cows near camp Foreeka. On Thursday, another group of militiamen on camels and horses entered Umm Asal camp and stole a horse and a donkey belonging to Imair Aldaif and Mohamed Abdullah Arifi under threat of arms. The displaced demand that the local authorities and forces of Unamid provide security for the displaced of Girayda camps and put an end to these militias.
