South Darfur Finance Ministry official killed in Nyala

A senior official of the South Darfur Ministry of Finance was killed in Nyala on Tuesday evening.

“At about 10 pm, a group of militiamen raided the home of Abdallah Younes Adam, Director of Expenses at the state Ministry of Finance, in Hai El Matar district,” a neighbour reported to Radio Dabanga.

“They wanted to steal his vehicle. When Adam resisted, they shot him. He was taken to Nyala Hospital, where he died of his wounds.”

He added that the attackers left with the vehicle “that belongs to the Engineering Unit”.

‘Criminal network’

Another source told Radio Dabanga from Nyala that a group of paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and Border Guards demand to be promoted to the rank of officer.

“These angry militiamen formed a kind of criminal network with others who have been dismissed. They are killing and robbing whenever they want, as the South Darfur authorities are unable to deal with these militiamen.”
