“The device exploded when they played with it,” a relative of Adam told Dabanga. “They died instantly.”

An explosives expert called via Dabanga on “all the people in Darfur, especially those in East Jebel Marra, Kutum, Um Baru, and Karnoi localities in North Darfur, not to touch or pick up any unknown object they find on the ground”.
