Sudanese Air Force bombs South Darfur towns

A Sudanese Air Force aircraft launched several air raids on a number of villages and areas south of Nyala, the capital city of South Darfur, on Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses fleeing the bombardments told Radio Dabanga that the Antonov bombed areas from 1pm until 2pm, and said that the three villages most affected are El Fula, Halit Masaliit, and Halit Abu Asha. Sheik Mahjoub Adam Tabaldiya of El Salam camp told that one of the escapees from the village El Fula, named Ibrahim Mursal, arrived at the camp suffering from a serious injury. His horse and his dog were killed in the government air strikes on his village. Tabaldiya said they had heard loud explosions and see the smoke plumes rising from the affected areas. Last week, on January 6, a Sudanese Air Force aircraft dropped bombs at Adam Kambal village, 15km south of El Salam camp, injuring two children. Listeners told Radio Dabanga the aircraft also attacked Tabaldiyat and Ghireiga village that day. File photo Radio Dabanga Related: Two children injured in South Darfur air raid (7 January 2014)
