Darfur Bar Association lists Bentiu dead, injured

The Darfur Bar Association (DBA) has made a provisional list of 27 Darfuris who were killed in the Bentiu massacre in South Sudan on Monday and Tuesday of last week. They also list the wounded, as well as those who took refuge in the UN compound. In a statement released on Sunday, the DBA condemned the “heinous massacre of Darfuri civilians; most were running their business and were murdered in cool blood.” The statement confirms that “hundreds of Darfuris and their families are still missing and their whereabouts are unknown. Some of them have been settled in South Sudan for decades. “We unreservedly condemn the killing of unarmed innocent civilians and would like to urge the parties to the conflict to ensure protection of civilians trapped in conflict zone. We also remind them with their responsibility under international humanitarian law to protect civilians, as targeting civilians amounts to war crime and crime against humanity.” The DBA calls for the establishment of an independent investigation committee, for its finding to be published and all the persons responsible to be held to account. “We also urge the antagonists in the Republic of South Sudan to resolve their differences by peaceful means.” Provisional DBA lists: 27 people killed: 1 Abdel Rahman Mansour Zakaria; 2 Ramazi Ibrahim; 3 Kamal Abdel Alla Wadi; 4 Sharief Ajab Al Dor; 5 Mohamed Abaker Guma; 6 Abbas Sharief Hamad; 7 Mohamed Adam; 8 Bashir Abaker Rajal; 9 Suliman Idris; 10 Haron Mohamed Saleh Jamil Alla; 11 Bashir Musa Idris; 12 Mohamed Ibrahim Khamis; 13 Adam Mahamdo; 14 Mohamed Ahmed; 15 Abdel Alla Abu Hashim; 16 Ismail Idris Asala; 17 Hayder Mohamed Busahar Hamad; 18 Gamal Mohamed Hyder; 19 Mubarak Abdek Rahman Musa; 20 Musa Abdel Majeed; 21.
