- The Chadian rebels (backed by the Government of Sudan) are wreaking havoc in central Darfur. An 11 year young girl was raped by these rebels in the village of Kluklu, a villager told Radio Dabanga. The Chadian rebels were moved from the borders with Chad further in-land according to deals between the two governments: the Sudanese and the Chadian. Yet the Chadian rebels feel free to assault the Darfuri civilians wherever they go. Civilians in Ain Siero, Mallit, and Sayah in North Darfur have complained bitterly about the atrocities of these rebels (looting, rape, and terrorizing) but of no avail.
- Security forces of GoS (Government of Sudan) are in a campaign of arresting community leaders in South Darfur, A Darfuri Journalist reported. The arrests are mainly among Arab tribes leaders and civilians because the GoS is feeling the pressure of rebellion that is growing among Arab tribes in South Darfur, reported the Journalist. The Security forces are putting pressure on the detained leaders and demanding from them to intervene in order to stop the flow of the youth to the rebels, said the Journalist.
