Gunmen shot an accountant dead in Nyala, capital of South Darfur, today. In the East Darfur capital of Ed Daein, a robber was killed and another wounded by policemen on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taha Abdallah Hamid, Commissioner of Nyala locality, told the press in the South Darfur capital that three unidentified gunmen attacked Ezzeldin Saadelnabi in Nyala on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Saadelnabi, an accountant working at the Wad Hijam Unit in El Radoum locality, had just received the salaries for the unit’s employees.<\/p>\n

The attackers attempted to steal the money from the accountant. When he resisted they shot him dead. They were not able to take the money and fled in a vehicle without a number plate, the commissioner said.<\/p>\n

In Ed Daein, four gunmen driving a Land Cruiser intercepted a vehicle of the state health insurance. The car was transporting the salaries of East Darfur employees amounting to SDG350,000 ($57,200), a witness reported to Radio Dabanga.<\/p>\n

One of the guards shot at the attackers. One was killed instantly, another one was injured.<\/p>\n

The source said that the gunmen later returned with others. “They stormed Ed Daein Hospital, took the body of their colleague with them at gunpoint, and fled the city.”<\/p>\n

The Deputy Governor of East Darfur, Maj. Gen. Mohamed El Hassan Beirek, pledged that the authorities “would hunt down the perpetrators wherever they are”.<\/p>\n
