Sudanese troops and militiamen killed 28 civilians
After a period of relative calm in the region, where more than six years of fighting has driven as many 3 million from their homes, the Sudanese troops carried out  a series of attacks northwest of Meilit in North Darfur.

The Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) led by Ahmed Abdel Shafi said the government troops and militias in some 56 vehicles attacked  on Tuesday . Four helicopter gunships and two Antonov bombers took part in the attack. Some 28 people among them nine children were killed. Most of the 2000 villagers have fled the area.  Some 400,000 have been displaced since 2008. The rebel leader said the school and clinic had been destroyed.. "Also the militias looted goods and livestock of the villagers."
