Militiamen kill rickshaw driver in South Kordofan

On Thursday, militiamen shot a young rickshaw driver dead in Kadugli locality in South Kordofan. In Omdurman, a man who was shot during the March of the Millions on Tuesday died of his wounds.

According to witnesses, a group of militiamen intercepted the rickshaw of Ishag Mustafa which was carrying passengers to Hamra, about 20 km southeast of Kadugli.

"They asked Mustafa about his name, age, and ethnic background, and then shot him," one of the witnesses told Radio Dabanga.

The victim was taken to the Medical Corps Hospital in Kadugli, where he died.

On May 21, armed men wearing uniforms of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) stopped a vehicle near Kadugli, and asked the driver and passengers about their tribal affiliation. When one of the passengers said he belonged to the Nuba Reika tribe, he was killed on the spot.

In Omdurman, security forces used tear gas and live bullet to disperse the crowds.  Ali Mohamed (33) was fatally shot in the chest. At least 55 others were injured.
