Militiamen have wounded a number of people in the Otash camp for the displaced in Nyala, South Darfur. The spokesperson for the Otash camps reported to Radio Dabanga that on Saturday about 16 “government-backed militiamen on camels and horses” assaulted a group of people who were on their way to Wadi Andur, 2km east of Otash camp to collect firewood and straw.The gunmen bound them for about two hours, beating and whipping them. Zahra Khater Adam, Maryam Muhamed Ali, Salha Musa Mohamed, Karima Abdelnabi, Aisha Mukhtar Mohamed, Laila Abakar Suleiman, Salha Jibril Yahya, Mohamed Ishag, and Yahya Mohamed Ishag were seriously injured. They were transferred to the health centre of Utash camp for treatment. In Central Darfur, militiamen killed Bishara Bahar Hasaballah at the El Salam camp for the displaced in Nierteti on Sunday evening. One of the camp sheikhs told Radio Dabanga that 1km west of Nierteti, militiamen on camels attacked a number of women, returning from their farmlands to El Salam camp. When the gunmen attempted to rape some of the women, Hasaballah intervened upon which they shot him dead and fled. A ‘rescue team’ of camp residents and policemen followed the militiamens’ tracks that led them to a village of herdsmen “armed by the government”. The team did not dare to enter and returned without taking any action. In North Darfur, militiamen slew Abbas Abdallah El Nur of the Kassab camp in the locality of Kutum, on Sunday evening. Taher Ismail, Sheikh of the Kassab camp told Radio Dabanga that three gunmen opened fire on El Nur at about 5pm at Bir El Faki, 4km northeast of the Kassab camp, where he had led his cattle to drink from the well. He was killed outright. The Sheikh noted that a complaint was filed with the military police and Unamid, but both did not react.
