Militiamen on Friday raped a woman of the Murnei camp for the displaced in West Darfur and cut-off her hands. Two other women were badly injured.<\/p>\n
A Murnei camp sheikh told Radio Dabanga that three government-backed militiamen attacked three displaced women when they were collecting straw at a distance of 6km south of the camp. Because the women resisted the attack, the \u201cJanjaweed<\/em>\u201d beat one of the women (25) and cut-off of her hands before raping her alternately.<\/p>\n The two other women were also severely beaten. \u201cThey hit Halima Mohamed Yahya several times on the head with an axe, and they broke the legs of Halima Sharif Khamis,” the sheikh said.<\/p>\n The victims were transferred to the hospital of Murnei. The attack was reported to the police.<\/p>\n File photo by Albert Gonz\u00e1lez Farran\/Unamid<\/em><\/p>\n
