SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - 3,000 displaced by South Darfur attacks

6/8/2020: Radio Dabanga - 3,000 displaced by South Darfur attacks

 Radio Dabanga reports that 3,000 have been displaced by “bloody attacks” on villages near Kass in South Darfur.

 Malik Haroun, member of the Resistance Committees active in the neighbourhoods of Kass, told Radio Dabanga that about 3,000 displaced villagers, most of them women and children, gathered in front of the Unamid base in Kass three days ago, and described their humanitarian conditions as bad and miserable, noting that the displaced people reside in makeshift shelters that do not protect them from the sun or rain.

 Haroun called for an urgent investigation into the attacks on Boronga and surrounding villages providing security and protecting the agricultural season so that the new displaced people could return to their areas and be able to continue their cultivation.

 The new civilian governor of South Darfur, Mousa Mahdi, said an investigation committee will start its tasks immediately and will submit a report within a week.
