Planting season
In the area of Shergeila, 76 km south of Nyala, capital of South Darfur, a farmer was killed, and a herdsman wounded in a dispute over farmland.
Farmers in the area told Radio Dabanga that attacks by militant herders on unarmed farmers are on the rise in Gireida locality. “Recently, more farmers were assaulted. Some of them were killed too.”
They complained that the “government measures failed to stop the expected frictions between herders and farmers in South Darfur since the start of the planting season”.
