Last week 14 people died of cholera in Murnei camp in West Darfur, where the isolation centre received 25 new cholera patients on Saturday. Local sources have attributed the cause of the increased infection rate mostly to a lack of potable water and unawareness of camp residents and officials. A North Darfur locality recorded four deaths in a couple of days. A state public health specialist, Esam Osman Zakaria, resigned from the Ministry of Health <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=f18191d321&e=5ffa50b614> in protest against the government’s silence on cholera. “Because of misty reports on 'watery diarrhoea' in Kabkabiya, the cover up and non-response to the demands of the medical teams that have been sent to the area,” he told Radio Dabanga. In Tokar, in the eastern Red Sea state, two people died of cholera last week. The total number of deaths has risen to five and more than 100 infections in a week's time. A journalist reported to this station that most of the infections in Tokar originate from the districts surrounding the town, which are overcrowded and lack clean water and toilets. In eastern Sudan’s Sennar, the spread of the infectious disease seems to be halted. Cholera has been ravaging in a number of localities but isolation centres in El Dindir, El Souki, and Singa witnessed a remarkable decrease in infection rates in the past few days.* Continue Reading <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=af27e923f2&e=5ffa50b614> *First warning in Darfur's illegal arms, vehicle collection* *August 8 - 2017 EL FASHER The five governors of Darfur and the Second Vice-President of Sudan issued a warning to people who possess weapons illegally, or unlicensed vehicles, to hand them over to the Sudanese army and police or risk a penalty. Complaints arose over the government targeting civilians, instead of militia members.* *The first meeting of the Higher Commission for the Collection of Unlicensed Firearms and Vehicle took place this week to implement the disarmament campaign in Darfur. Only owners of unregistered Land Cruisers will be compensated for the confiscation as of Monday, Second Vice-President Hassabo Mohamed Abdelrahman said. Specific measures are established for the many segments of the paramilitary Border Guards, Popular Defence Forces, Rapid Support Forces and Central Reserve Forces. The holding of weapons will be restricted to the regular forces, initially in Darfur and Kordofan but eventually in all states of the country.* *Representatives of displaced people and activists in Darfur have ridiculed the government's decision to collect weapons. “This campaign should collect arms from the hands of the government’s militias, not from civilians,” an activist told Radio Dabanga, claiming that all illegal weapons in Darfur are in the hands of militiamen. Some complained that the ones who own a Land Cruiser with a machine gun mounted on top are often the bandits who roam the markets carrying weapons and exercise banditry.* *More news from Radio Dabanga:* *Unamid appoints new head, coordinates exit strategy* <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=d2321f57fe&e=5ffa50b614> August 8 - 2017 NEW YORK / EL FASHER UPDATE 18:30 A new head for the military component of the peacekeeping mission was appointed today.
