Perpetrators kill a 55-year-old refugee in the incident
An armed group plundered the Rwanda refugee camp in North Darfur on Sunday, killing a refugee in the incident.
The group riding more than ten Land Cruisers broke into the camp on Sunday evening
and killed 55-year-old Isaac Sahleh Babur, according to witnesses in the camp.
A witness told Radio Dabanga, “The armed group killed Isaac Sahleh Babur and plundered and looted more than 100 displaced people. They looted money, gold, mobile phones, food, clothing, furniture, utensils etc.”
The witness, who does not wish to be named fearing retribution from Sudanese authorities, added that the armed group came from Kutum and was led by a man named Musa Leylie.
He pointed out that Musa is the same person who had attacked the Tebra area last year, resulting in the death of more than 69 people.
Militia men surround camp
Furthermore, witnesses reported that armed militia men on horsebacks and camels surrounded the refugee camp on Monday.
“The armed men have been guarding the camp since last evening despite the arrival of the army from Turney to calm and reassure camp residents,” a refugee in the camp told Radio Dabanga.
The refugees appealed to the sheikh of the camp, the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to intervene in the situation and protect them.
