One of them, a watermelon trader, rushed to Khartoum hospital due to his critical state<\/STRONG><\/P>

Two refugees from North Darfur\u2019s Zamzam camps were seriously injured on Friday when central reserve police, also known as Abu Tira, officers opened fire at them.<\/P>
\n

A witness to the incident told Radio Dabanga that it occurred in the watermelon market of Zamzam camp on Friday afternoon. \u201cThree Abu Tira officers came to the market with water melons at 6.30 pm and one of them opened fired in the market without any warning or reason,\u201d the witness said.<\/P>
\n

One of those injured was 28-year-old Issa Mohammed Ahmed, a watermelon trader and another was 18-year-old refugee Hamada Osman Ibrahim.<\/P>
\n

While Issa was injured in the knee, Hamada sustained wounds in his feet. \u201cIssa\u2019s condition was so serious that he had to be rushed to the hospital in Khartoum from El Fasher,\u201d the witness who spoke to Radio Dabanga said.<\/P>
\n

\u201cThe Abu Tira forces pose a serious security threat to the refugees in the camp. The shooting was probably part of a covert plan meant to shut down the watermelon market in Zamzam camp,\u201d he added.<\/P>

School burned down yet again<\/STRONG><\/P>
\n

In what is the fourth similar incident this month, a fire broke out in Zamzam camp\u2019s Al Salaam \u201c35\u201d school. Radio Dabanga had reported earlier this week about a fire in the same schoo<\/A>l that had engulfed five class rooms. The fire that broke on Sunday took down three more class rooms.<\/P>
\n

At the same time, a leader in the camp told Radio Dabanga that two more schools in the vicinity were burnt down. \u201cThis seems to be planned and looks like intentional sabotage,\u201d the camp leader told Radio Dabanga.<\/P>
