Two slain, three injured in South Darfur and East Jebel Marra

A displaced man was shot dead, and two others were injured in an attack by militiamen near Gireida town in South Darfur early this morning. A few hours later, in East Jebel Marra, a herder was killed this morning, and another wounded by cattle thieves. “Government-backed militiamen attacked a group of displaced farmers, who passed the night on their farmlands in the area of Donki Abyad, about 7 km south of Gireida town, at 3 am this morning,” a farmer from the area told Radio Dabanga. “They fired at the group, killing Adam Ibrahim Mohamed instantly. Mohamed Adam Omar and his brother Ibrahim were seriously injured, and had to be transferred to a hospital in Gireida.” In East Jebel Marra, armed robbers shot dead Juma Haran Eisa, and seriously injured Adam Omar Saleh in an attack by three gunmen on a nomadic settlement in the area of Dalma, a listener reported to Radio Dabanga. “They attacked the settlement at about 8 am this morning, fired at its inhabitants, and stole 18 cows.” File photo: Foro Baranga, West Darfur (Albert González Farran/Unamid)
