Khartoum — The Member of Parliament representing the Um Baru constituency in North Darfur demanded the release of abducted 17 Zaghawa tribesmen. MP Mohamed Ahmed Minawi on Friday demanded the release of 17 Zaghawa, abducted by militiamen in the area of Mellit in North Darfur two months ago.
Via Radio Dabanga, he appealed to the native administration leaders of the Abna Rashid tribe to mediate for the release of the abductees. The MP also called on the people of Darfur not to get involved in abductions, "a phenomenon that is foreign to them".
