Government bombs Mukjar in Central Darfur
On Tuesday a Sudanese fighter jet reportedly dropped five bombs in Mukjar locality, in Central Darfur state. Villagers told Radio Dabanga that there were no fatalities or injuries but the strikes caused severe panic in Artala village, 400 metres from the place the bombs hit. They said an Antonov plane circled the area first before striking just outside of the village. ‘Only by the grace of God did the bombs not hit the village’, said a witness. Villagers appealed to the UN security council to protect them from strikes by the government.
