Six displaced in North Darfur were kidnapped by Abbala militias and forced to dig water wells near their base for over a day, \u201cuninterruptedly\u201d.<\/p>\n

A sheikh told Radio Dabanga the six people, who are displaced living in Kabkabiya city, had gone north of the town on Friday to collect firewood.<\/p>\n

Upon their return one day later, the displaced were ambushed by the Abbala, who perforated the wheel of their horse cart, threw their cargo on the ground and beat them.<\/p>\n

The victims were then dragged to the militants\u2019 base (damra<\/em>) and forced to dig water wells until they were freed on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to the sheikh, the Abbala, who were riding camels and dressed in military uniforms, told the six people that was a free land for grazing and not for collecting firewood.<\/p>\n

The sheikh is demanding authorities to put an end to violations and abuses by Abbala militias and bring perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n

Last week, Radio Dabanga reported that Abbala gunmen raped a displaced for three days in North Darfur, and attacked and looted displaced persons in West Darfur.<\/p>\n
