Sudan: 3,000 Teachers in South Darfur's Nyala Request Transfer

Nyala — More than 3,000 school teachers in Nyala, capital of South Darfur, have requested to be transferred. The teachers submitted their transferral requests because of the rampant insecurity in the city. "Assaults and robberies take place in broad daylight on daily basis, while the police and the security forces are unable to control the situation, or arrest the criminals," one of the teachers told Radio Dabanga on Thursday.

He said that a number of young people in Nyala have begun arming themselves to confront the "killing and robbing by government-backed militiamen", and to protect residential sites and shops.
