Killing of two students sparks protest in South Darfur camp

Militiamen shot two students dead in a robbery in a camp in Nyala, South Darfur. The killing sparked a protest by the displaced people on Monday morning.

Four “pro-government militiamen” entered centre 3 in Dereig camp and forced four secondary school students to hand over their money and possessions. The students replied that they were not carrying anything, after which the militiamen opened fire on them, a protester told Radio Dabanga.
