Doctors at El Geneina Teaching Hospital  downed tools and went on strike today in protest against frequent attacks from a member of the regular forces.

Speaking form the West Darfur capital, one of the doctors told Radio Dabanga they embarked on an instant strike after an assault on Dr Jalaluddin Ismail by a member of the regular forces this morning.

The doctors said that they will only lift the strike one the aggressor is prosecuted, and sufficient measures are installed to protect the medical staff working in the hospital.

The source added that some members of the regular force have repeatedly attacked doctors recently.
