On Tuesday, a military force on a Land Cruiser raided the area of Jamira, north of Kass in search of men accused of collaborating with the armed movements, detained Ibrahim Zakariya Ibrahim from his house and took him to the military garrison in Kass.

They appealed to humanitarian and human rights organisations to intervene to release him.
