Sudan: Militia Members Abduct 'Mainly Displaced' in Darfur

Kass/Darfur — Pro-government militiamen abducted a school teacher and stole a large amount of money near Kass town, South Darfur, on Wednesday. A refugee association claimed that the number of kidnappings is on the rise, and that mainly the internally displaced people seem to be the target of the militia members's abductions.

A witness told Radio Dabanga that militia members intercepted a small vehicle coming from Nyala, en route to Zalingei, at Lufa Kasara area.
