More Than 100 People Reported Dead in New Attacks On West Darfur Capital Radiodabanga: Sudan
Activists told Radio Dabanga on Sunday morning that the attacks on Friday and Saturday left at least 70 people dead. More than 300 others were wounded but had to be provisionally treated as the health facilities were closed.Large numbers of people fled to. There have been attempts to evacuate the injured to the hospital of Adré in Chad, but this was not possible due to the dire security situation, a source reported.
The attackers used all kinds of weapons, he said."All camps for the displaced and a large number of houses in the neighbourhoods of the city burned to ashes." He called on the governor of Darfur, Minni Minawi, to"urgently intervene and protect the residents of El Geneina, help treat the injured, and provide them with aid, as most of the people are now living in the open."
The attackers plundered houses, including the residence of the Sultan of the Masalit tribe, whereby two of his guards were killed. The West Darfur Revolutionaries Bloc said in a statement yesterday that"this is not a tribal conflict, but an organised genocide targeting the inhabitants of West Darfur. Calling these war crimes and human rights violations in El Geneina a tribal conflict aims to evade the army from its legal and moral responsibility to protect the people.", to protect defenceless civilians the state failed to protect".
