Ever since he and his family fled an attack by armed militiamen on Labado, East Darfur, more than a month ago, Abdul Aziz Tahir Juma Jadain has not been able to locate has wife and four of his sons.<\/p>\n

Jadain, who currently lives at El Neem camp in Ed Daein, the state capital, told Radio Dabanga on Friday that he and his family fled with a group of people. \u201cArmed militiamen attacked Labado from Land Cruisers and camels, opened fire on civilians. They then pillaged shops and houses, loading their loot into the vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jadain says that he and his family fled without any belongings. \u201cDuring my escape, a militiaman riding a camel was hunting me down, but I managed to evade him. I then located two of my sons, but they did not know what had become of my wife and four other sons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jadain searched for them without success. He then decided to search in Ed Daein where most those who fled went. He was “lucky” that he and his children got a lift to the camp on a cart, but his search has still be fruitless, he said. Jadain appealed to anyone who knows the whereabouts of his wife and remaining sons to contact him via Radio Dabanga.<\/p>\n
