Zalingei / El Geneina — Residents and displaced people in Central and West Darfur have expressed deep shock at the appointment of Lt Gen Abdelfattah Burhan as the head of the Transitional Military Council, describing him as "having blood on his hands as one involved in planning and carrying out genocide, burning of villages, and displacement of unarmed residents in Central and West Darfur".
El Shafi Abdallah, one of the leaders of the camps for displaced people in Central Darfur said: "Burhan is the architect of the genocide that took place in Darfur, where, as the first official in charge of popular security in the region, he armed the militias known as the border guards. He distributed the weapons to the militias that were used in the massacres since 2009."
