Fallata leaders report that 56 of their people were killed in South Darfur (Social media)
Fallata leaders reported yesterday that the death toll of the attack launched by Rizeigat gunmen on El Tawil village in South Darfur on Monday has risen to 56 people. At least 37 were wounded.
Ibrahim Mousa, spokesperson for the Fallata tribe, said at a press conference in Khartoum yesterday that the armed attackers, were driving cars and riding horses and camels.
The attack was preceded by large gatherings of Rizeigat fighters who then headed east in the direction of El Tawil village, Mousa said. He criticised the failure of the government forces to intervene, despite the fact that the army garrison is only five kilometres away from where the attack took place.
