Tawila<\/strong><\/p>\n

In North Darfur’s Tawila locality, passengers of a commercial vehicle were robbed on the road between Khazan Tunjur and the Zamzam camp for the displaced on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“In the area of Jarangu, north of Tabit, armed men in a Land Cruiser mounted with a Dushka machinegun stopped our car,” a passenger explained to this station.<\/p>\n

“They robbed us of our money, about SDG2,000 ($300), our mobile phones, and took the spare tire of the car as well.”<\/p>\n

He said that the robbery was preceded by another one in the area on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

“Militants in two vehicles mounted with Dushka machineguns intercepted a bus carrying residents of Zamzam camp for the displaced from Tawila to the camp after shopping,” he said.<\/p>\n

A camp elder confirmed the attack, and said that the robbers took SDG8,000 in total from the passengers, their mobile phones, and the items they bought on the market.<\/p>\n
