Gunfire in El Geneina IDP camps

Gunmen wearing military uniforms started shooting at random within IDP camps in El Geneina, West Darfur. Witnesses reported intensive gunfire inside Riyadh Camp last Monday after a fight between members of the police and army inside the camp. The witnesses described panic in the camp after the gunfire broke out. One resident of Riyadh Camp, in an interview with Radio Dabanga, appealed to military leaders to forbid their subordinates from entering the camps with weapons. He also requested that UNAMID peacekeepers intensify patrols around the camps, especially in the evenings.
