An estimated 11 people have been killed recently by government forces, including the nomadic militiamen referred to as ‘Janjaweed’ in Western Darfur.
After nomadic militiamen discovered one of their members killed by unknown assailants near Mouli village in Western Darfur, the militia raided and looted the village, forcing an estimated 300 people to flee to the capital, El Geneina. Since Sunday January 10, residents of the village are now protesting and camping in front of the Governor’s house demanding the government provide protection from the militia forces. There is fear tensions will escalate as a political standoff between Mouli residents and the state continues in the small Western Darfur capital, El Geneina.
