SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - West Darfuris torch offices of Intelligence Service

1/11/19: Radio Dabanga - West Darfuris torch offices of Intelligence Service

 Radio Dabanga reports that angry protesters burned to the ground buildings of the West Darfur General Intelligence Service (GIS), after a young man was allegedly tortured by Rapid Support Forces militants.

 GIS is the new name of Sudan’s infamous National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS).

According to Radio Dabanga’s sources, a dispute broke out after residents of Asonga in Darfur disputed with the RSF following abuses. The RSF then took a young man to the GIS offices in West Darfur and tortured him.

 The next morning, GIS offices were set on fire, until a security force arrived and evacuated the building. GIS members shot back, wounding three.
