Radio Dabanga report that the governor of South Darfur, Mousa Mahdi, announced the arrest of a number of individuals who killed three farmers in the village of Dabanga in al-Wehda locality.  Mahdi also vowed to pursue all those who attack farmers.

He also confirmed that the State Security Committee will set up security reinforcements in the northern regions of South Darfur, establish a police department in the region, and publish strict guidelines to prevent further friction between herders and farmers.

Mahdi also pledged to bring the arrested perpetrators to a fair trial and reiterated his rejection of any solutions through reconciliation conferences. Previously, reconciliation conferences between Fallata herders and Masalit farmers failed to bring peace to the region.
