West Darfur trader knifed at Sirba market

A merchant was stabbed by government forces on the market of Sirba, West Darfur, on Sunday.

“Three soldiers stormed the market, and began pillaging the shops,” a visitor of the market told Dabanga.

“They threatened merchant Abubakar Mohamed Abubakar at gunpoint, and stole a jerry can of diesel from him. The soldiers then turned to the grocery of Yahya Yousef, stabbed him with a knife, and took a large number of goods from the store.”
