Seven Sudanese shot dead by armed robbers near Delling
Seven people were killed and ten others injured west of Delling in northern South Kordofan on Friday.
Abdelrahim Kounda reported to Radio Dabanga that a group of armed men ambushed a tractor with a trailer loaded with passengers on Friday.
They were travelling from Abu Janouk to Wali, west of Delling town. The attackers shot at them, killing seven. Ten others were wounded.
The wounded were taken to the area of Teima for treatment, Kounda said.
“Such violent incidents are happening very regularly these days,” he explained. “They can be attributed to old, existing tensions between the local population, mostly consisting of Nuba farmers, and Misseriya herders over pastures.”
