Gunmen kill man, rob passengers in South Darfur

A passenger was killed and two others injured in South Darfur, when commercial vehicles were halted and raided on Thursday night.

Militiamen, riding camels, opened fire on the convoy of five vehicles on the road from Buram to Gireida in South Darfur. Abdelrahim Ibrahim Mohamed was killed immediately. Two people sustained gunshot wounds.

The passengers had gone shopping in El Nadef. The perpetrators stole the goods and property of the passengers and fled the scene.

Earlier this week bandits scourged roads in Darfur in separate incidents: on Wednesday, a man was robbed of his motorcycle on the road to Kutum. In the same area militants robbed a driver en route from Kutum to Fata Borno and stole the passengers' belongings.
