Messages from the camps

The oumdas, elected leaders of Otash Camp in South Darfur, told Radio Dabanga they need more security. They also emphasized the current food shortage. In camps across Darfur, the priorities are food, water and security as well as education for the children, along with continuing hopes for justice, including the arrest of al Bashir and individual and collective compensation for their losses.

The marketplace in Tabara in north Darfur is the site of the recent massacre of some 50 civilians..Witnesses say that militia forced people to lie on the ground, then shot them in the head. Dozens of survivors fled to Tawila where " some arrived without clothes or shoes" The perpetrators are still in the region.

The Justice and Equality Movement says that the massacre was carried out by militias of the Sudanese government.
