Kendebe Camp — Displaced from Kendebe camp in Sirba locality, West Darfur, assert that Tuesday's onslaught by a pro-government militia is costing them "millions of Sudanese pounds in damages".

They told Radio Dabanga the militia destroyed and looted 23 shops at the central market, taking with them "all kinds of goods".

In addition, the gunmen stole "baby clothes, chicken, livestock, grain mills and water" from 2.000 homes in Kendebe.
