Residents of El Geneina, the capital of war-torn West Darfur, are struggling to bury their dead as violence rages across the city
Activists say 500 bodies across the city have been identified, and that they believe “thousands” more remain unburied on streets and inside homes. The Darfur Bar Association said that the bodies of those killed in the city “are still scattered in the streets and inside homes, public facilities and mosques,” and that the majority of the population has left the city, an independent Sudanese media outlet, Radio Dabanga, said on its website.
A previous CNN report said that a pregnant woman was shot by the Rapid Support Forces for not having enough cash to allow her safe passage from Darfur. Around 15,000 Sudanese refugees have fled West Darfur state and reached the Chadian town of Adré over a four day period with thousands more desperately trying to escape the area, Médecins Sans Frontières said Tuesday.
