Various incidents in South Darfur have led to the kiling of a bus passenger, and the serious wounding of four, at the hands of militiamen, or in grenade explosions.
One person was killed, and another injured in two separate incidents in Kass locality, South Darfur, at the hands of militiamen. In Gireida locality, three people were seriously injured by grenade explosions on Tuesday.
