Three displaced people were killed by gunmen in Tawila in North Darfur yesterday. In Saraf Omra, a group of traders were violently robbed of their belongings. Last week, a villager was shot in the same area. In eastern Chad, two Darfuri refugees were shot dead on Sunday.
One person was killed during floods in North Darfur whilst at least 180 houses and 126 stores were destroyed in floods in Central Darfur. A Darfuri refugee camp in Chad also faced severe flooding.
Transportation tariffs in Khartoum witnessed a significant increase yesterday. Witnesses said that prices increased between 40 and 50 per cent. People condemned and rejected the increase in times of economic and political crisis.
More than 100 people were injured in the July 31 Marches of the Millions, called for by the Khartoum Resistance Committees and the Forces of Freedom and Change-Central Council under the slogan of “peaceful coexistence”. A new campaign was launched to expose human rights violations by the military junta against pro-democracy protests.
The mainstream faction of the Forces of Freedom and Change, the FFC- Central Council, has drawn up a draft of a new constitutional charter. After repeated criticism, they stressed their rejection of any agreement with the military and expressed their desire to consult with Resistance Committees.
