Two Darfuris killed in on-going East Jebel Marra airstrikes

Bombings allegedly carried out by the Sudanese Air Force continued on Friday in East Jebel Marra leaving at least two people dead and several others injured, local sources fleeing the strikes say.As a result of the “heavy bombardments, targeting mainly the North Darfur village of Dubbo al Omda and surroundings”, houses and farms caught on fire and livestock were killed.Witnesses told Radio Dabanga that a MiG aircraft dropped bombs on Friday from 8am until 10am, adding the bombardment “intensified”.A man fleeing the village of Kaja, located 7km east from Dubbo al Omda, said he saw two of relatives killed during the strikes: Mansour Ali Mansour and his son Hamouda Mansour, seven years old.“I could not count the dead and wounded because everyone fled in different directions on their own to survive the attack,” he said, while confirming that houses and farms are on fire due to the “intense bombardment by the Sudanese Air Force.”Bombings in East Jebel Marra are going on for more than one week. Sources told Radio Dabanga the noise of aircrafts “has completely traumatised the children, and some pregnant women have miscarried.”File photoRelated: Air sorties ‘traumatising Darfur’s East Jebel Marra’: witnesses (22 August 2013)
