A group of displaced people from El Salam camp near Nyala in South Darfur have complained about being robbed by armed militiamen on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Mahjoub Adam Tabeldiya of El Salam camp told Radio Dabanga that a group of displaced people left the camp and headed towards Kambala to collect firewood. \u201cThey were stopped by armed militiamen who opened fire on them, wounding Abu Al Qasim Hamid Adam, who was transferred to Nyala hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheikh said that Adam\u2019s horse was killed and another belonging to Abdul Aziz Abdul Jabbar was stolen, along with a donkey belonging to Hawaa Shaibu and her son. They were also stripped of all of their possessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been talking about the need to secure roads because the displaced people have no source of income other than going out to fetch firewood and hay to feed their children,\u201d a source explained.<\/p>\n

The leaders met with the police, the Sudanese Army and Unamid this week and agreed to the need for a night-time ceasefire inside the camp, as well as to curtail the threat of attacks against displaced people by pro-government militiamen.<\/p>\n

The leaders of the camp appealed to the authorities and Umamid to respect the outcome of this week\u2019s meeting and implement it by intervening to resolve the problem of the militias and secure the roads.<\/p>\n
