Collecting arms

During a visit to Tullus on Saturday, the Governor of South Darfur, Adam El Faki, stated that the collection of weapons from civilians will start “in the coming period, in order to complete the integration of the social peace process in the state”.

“We will confront the group that wants to destabilise the state, so that the people can live a normal live in a safe and stable environment,” he said, and called on the South Darfuris “to unite and maintain security and stability, so that they can receive development services in their areas”.
