A large amount of cannabis seized in South Darfur (RD correspondent)
West Darfur wali (governor) Mohamed El Doma said at a press conference yesterday that arms trade, drug trafficking and commodity smuggling are widespread in his state, “both in the cities and in the camps for displaced people”.
El Doma acknowledged West Darfur is not able to control the smuggling due to the lack of sufficient forces. He stated that there is massive proliferation of all kinds of light and heavy weapons in his state, “enough to arm an entire army”. He announced that West Darfur will start collecting weapons and other forbidden equipment soon.
