Militia on ‘military attire’ assaults C. Darfur citizens

A group of citizens was assaulted by four pro-government militias wearing military attires upon returning to their village of Sannan from Umm Dukhun in Central Darfur on Wednesday.

One of the victims spoke to Radio Dabanga and recounted they were ambushed in an area called Beltebe, located about one hour and a half from Umm Dukhun.

The perpetrators, two riding horses and two riding camels, beat and looted the citizens before escaping.
