East Jebel Marra — Eye witnesses told Radio Dabanga that an Antonov plane bombed the areas of Hillat Ahmed, Hillat Abaker, Um Kadaldal, Kabka, Lourtik and Trungfawi, South Darfur. In addition, villages south-east of Tabit and the area south of al-Malam in South Darfur were also bombed.

This is the fourth day of bombings in the area. Sources cannot confirm if there were any civilian casualties as inhabitants fled in different directions in search of protection and safety in neighboring valleys and mountains.

At the same time, one of the fugitives confirmed that three camels and three donkeys died due to the bombings in the village of Trungfawi.

    using the term fugitive in your reports about the information on recent darfur bombings suggests the guy is possibly an outlaw and thus an unreliable source of information. my question.... is this intentional?
