Armed attack results in 30 casualties in village in southern Darfur |
2006-04-17 |
Seventeen people were killed and 13 injured in an attack executed Sunday by gunmen on a village in the troubled region of Darfur, western Sudan, a local official in Darfur said. The local official in southern Darfur, who requested anonymity, told KUNA in a telephone call that the unknown gunmen launched the attack on Krumji village, 70 kilometers south of Darfur's capital, Nyala. Darfur is witnessing an armed conflict which resulted in the killing of over 70,000 people and displacing two million others, according to non-official statistics. The conflict is between the two main rebel movements in the region -- Sudan's liberation army and equality and justice movement -- who had tumbling negotiations with the government, currently underway in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. |
