They had taken their two dogs with them. “A group of Janjaweed intercepted the two men at 8 am, demanding a compensation of SDG14,000 ($2,440) for the sheep. They released Ahmed and Adam at 5 pm, after camp elders had collected an amount of SDG4,000 ($700) as advance payment.” The rest of the money has to be paid within one week. File photo
