Farmer dead, others injured in air raids on Darfur’s East Jebel Marra
One farmer was killed and others injured in aerial bombardments on the villages of Khor Mali and Mashrou Abu Zeid in East Jebel Marra today. “Large tracts of farmland and pasture were set on fire too,” a villager told Radio Dabanga from Mashrou Abu Zeid. “Most of the villagers fled to the surrounding valleys and mountains.” He said that the bombardments took place between 7 am and 10 am. “We were working on our farmlands, when the first bombs fell. Haroun Juma Haroun was hit, and died instantly. A number of other farmers sustained various injuries.” “At least seven acres of farmland with millet, sorghum, and sesame burned to ashes,” he added.
