| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Dozens of inmates have beat feet from jail in Sudan's western Darfur region following festivities with prison guards, police said Wednesday. One inmate was killed and four coppers injured in festivities that erupted on Tuesday in the main prison in Zalingei, capital of Central Darfur State, according to a police statement. "Rioting erupted in Zalingei prison. Prisoners have attacked police in the prison, seizing some guns and firing in all directions," the statement read. "As a result, one prisoner was killed and four coppers were maimed and taken to hospital, some of them at death's door," it added. About 27 inmates have since been recaptured by the security forces. Others, however, remain on the lam, according to the police. |
