Pro-government militiamen abducted a 10-year-old boy in Nierteti locality, Central Darfur, on Monday. Meanwhile, a Central Darfur camp Sheikh has been kidnapped for nearly one and a half month.<\/p>\n

The militiamen have demanded a ransom of SDG 12,000 ($2,090) for the release of Adam Bilal, a second grade basic school pupil. A witness told Radio Dabanga how the militia elements attacked Adam when he was on his way to fetch hay 1 km east of Nierteti town. They took him to an unknown location.<\/p>\n
