Five people were shot dead in a raid by paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El Doudiya village in En Nehoud in northern West Kordofan last week. In a revenge attack by the villagers, four RSF soldiers were killed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A villager told Radio Dabanga from El Doudiya yesterday that five people were killed and 10 others were wounded in an RSF raid on the village on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the villages formed a search posse that chased the attackers and confronted them in the area of Um Samima, west of El Obeid, capital of neighbouring North Kordofan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ensuing firefight, four RSF paramilitaries were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-defence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marauding members<\/a> of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are wreaking deadly havoc<\/a> among civilians in parts of Sudan under the militia\u2019s control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from Khartoum and Darfur, where they, especially in West Darfur, reportedly killed thousands of people<\/a> last year, paramilitaries are raiding villages in El Gezira since they took control of most parts of the state in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wad Madani Resistance Committees\u00a0reported\u00a0in late February that RSF members raided 53 villages<\/a> since they took control of El Gezira. The paramilitaries \u201ccommitted the most\u00a0heinous crimes\u201d in El Gezira, they stated, \u201ccrimes that can be considered war crimes or crimes against humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, a group of people from El Gezira, in Sudan and abroad, launched the El Gezira Call, urging an immediate stop to the violence, amid fears that residents may take up arms<\/a> to defend themselves.<\/p>\n
