Tribal fighting in East Darfur (RD)
Gunmen attacked Gireida, South Darfur, on Monday and Tuesday, killing five people and wounding 26. Witnesses say that government forces did not protect the people when two neighbourhoods were torched.
A witness from Gireida told Radio Dabanga that 35 gunmen on horses attacked Gireida on Monday morning. They left when joint forces intervened. The gunmen returned at 16.00 hours, driving four-wheel drive vehicles and riding horses. They carried various types of weapons.
Many of the injured were in a critical condition and have been transferred to Nyala. The rest of the wounded were treated at Gireida Hospital.
