Alarming build up of troops around camps

Darfur IDPs say Sudan building troops, urges world protection

November 6, 2008 (KHARTOUM) – Sudanese army is building up troops in the three states of Darfur and started crackdown against displaced  people who urge the international community to provide them with protection. Militias are gathered amd mobilized outside the towns. 

Hussein Abu Sharati, Darfur IDPs and refugees’ spokesperson warned that the Sudanese army is building troops around the camps and mobilizes militias out side the towns. He further said more than 4000 vehicles full of troops arrived yesterday.
The displaced spokesperson also accused the Sudanese authorities of hindering the activities of International NGOs and  indiscriminately arresting  the IPDs when they leave their camps and come into the towns.
He urged the international community to protect them with a robust, capable force.  

Mr Sharati believes that authorities are preparing new attacks similar to that on Kalma.
