Darfur: Killings still on the rise at Kassab camp, N Darfur

Radio Dabanga reports that it was informed that another four displaced persons were killed and seven were wounded at the Internally Displaced Person (IDP) Kassab camp near Kutum town, North Darfur. Since the outbreak of this conflict, in the beginning of August, a total of seven people were killed and seven were wounded.

A relative of one of the victims told Radio Dabanga that three of them were shot dead by border guards inside the camp. The victims, who previously fled the camp, were returning home to recover the belongings they left behind.

The camp's sheikh, Al Taher Ismail, added that a large amount of people are either missing or are detained by border guards. They also looted the Qursi village, north of Kutum and raped an underage girl.
