Zitat:Sudan: West Darfur Violence Leaves 200+ Dead - 'Cautious Calm' As Hospitals, Markets Stay Closedhttps://allafrica.com/stories/202204280101.html
El Geneina / Kereinik — Health facilities, markets, and other institutions remain closed despite a 'cautious calm' reported from El Geneina and Kereinik in West Darfur. At least 200 people, including children, have died in several days of violence, widely attributed to attacks by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) 'janjaweed' militiamen, exploiting, inflaming, and blaming 'inter-tribal conflicts'. [...]
Sultan Saad Badruddin, Sultan of Dar Masalit, told the Sudan Today programme on Radio Dabanga, that El Geneina witnessed a bloody day on Monday. He said that the total number of casualties is still being assessed, and that the violent events of the past days led to complete paralysis in the city. Shops, government institutions, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies are still closed, however some vegetable stores opened their doors with the movement of a limited number of carts. [...]
Sultan Badruddin said that they were able to airlift 25 of the critically injured to Khartoum through El Geneina airport, while more than 70 wounded remain at Kereinik Hospital "in tragic conditions with the lack of the simplest aids". He lamented that the wounded were ambushed three times while being transported by cart from Kereinik to El Geneina, but they managed to escape. [...] International medical relief organisation Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says that three people, including two medical workers were killed, when a hospital the organisation supports in Kereinik was attacked at the weekend. The hospital´s pharmacy was also looted.
