 At least 15 people were killed, 25 others wounded, and dozens of people went missing in an attack by armed men mounting camels and horses on Abdos village in South Darfur’s Gereida.

 Radio Dabanga’s sources report that Rapid Support Forces (RSF) soldiers “fled” when the attack began, despite being tasked with protecting the villagers.

 AP quote Mohamed Abdel-Rahman al-Nayer, a spokesman for a rebel group known as the Sudan Liberation Movement, to say: “the militia that committed this crime is supported by the old regime,” in reference to the RSF.

 The Darfur Displaced and Refugees Coordination in Gereida demand Gereida locality, the local police chief, and the commander of the Gereida army garrison to be replaced, alongside the army and RSF troops in the area.
