The sit-in of Arab tribes in El Geneina has grown over the past week (Social media)
The sit-in of Arab tribes in El Geneina, capital of West Darfur, has entered its second week. The protestors have closed all roads to and from the city.
Delegations from Zalingei and Nyala arrived at the sit-in square in Kubari El Naseem in El Geneina to support the protestor’s demands to dismiss state governor Mohamed El Doma, move the camps for displaced people from the city, and restructure the state police force.
The closure of roads is isolating the city of El Geneina and causes a rise in prices of goods.
