*July 7 - 2015 NYALA* The driver of a mini-bus belonging to the AU-UN
Mission in Darfur (Unamid) was shot by gunmen during a chase in Nyala city
on Sunday. A pregnant woman passing by was hit by the mini-bus, the
peacekeeping mission reports, but she managed to give birth to her baby in
the hospital.
A witness told Radio Dabanga that the gunmen chased the mini-bus with their
vehicle on Sunday afternoon in the South Darfur capital. The men opened
fire on the driver. “The driver then lost control of the mini-bus and ran
over a woman on the road.”
The Unamid, for which the mandate was recently

extended by the African Union and the UN Security Council by one year,
commented on Tuesday that the Sudanese staff member who drove the mini-bus
was travelling alone and without armed escort on the Nyala airport road.
The assailants opened fire on him there, injuring his left hand. "...[the
mini-bus] veered off the road, accidentally hitting a pregnant woman." They
were both transferred to the hospital in the Unamid base in Nyala. The
driver was treated and discharged while the woman gave birth to a baby girl
through a C-section. "Both the mother and the child are doing well."
The mission stated that the Sudanese police detained three armed suspects.
Security measures such as a curfew and a ban on carrying arms are still in
place in Nyala, in an attempt to reduce criminality. In April this year, a
vehicle belonging to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) was
carjacked.
*Foreign settlers continue to torch Darfur villages*
*July 3 - 2015 EAST JEBEL MARRA / MEROWE *Witnesses have reported newcomers
from African countries torching abandoned villages in Darfur, to settle and
take plots in the deserted areas. New settlers, “mostly foreign Arabs from
Chad, Mali and Niger”, burned the entire village of Dolma, only leaving
four houses standing, on Wednesday evening. A witness in East Jebel Marra
told Radio Dabanga that the settlers occupied Wadi Marra, Tayarat and
Tabeldiyat villages in the area last week. An eyewitness claimed that “new
settlers” torched houses too in the nearly abandoned Numeira village on 28
June.
Radio Dabanga reported last month
<http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=203310bd34&e=5ffa50b614>
that up to ten thousand settlers have taken plots in deserted areas in East
Jebel Marra. The newcomers were identified by local pastoralists as members
of Arab militias and migrants from Chad, Mali and Niger.
The Sudanese government said it considers a policy of voluntary
resettlement of the displaced by shutting down their camps. The occupation
of their home areas by foreigners does not guarantee for a safe return,
displaced farmers said in a radio report.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture of Sudan’s Northern State has
confiscated 400 acres of land at the Alar agricultural project in Merowe
locality, to offer them to foreign investors. “Most of the investors are
Turks and Saudis,” an affected farmer told Radio Dabanga. He said that in
April the ministry issued a list of 80 people whose farmlands in the Alar
project were to be expropriated, claiming they were lying fallow. The
farmer feared that the investors will not plant wheat and beans, “which
will adversely affect the people in the area”.
