Janjaweed Rampage in Alfashir, Capital of Darfur under AU Nose
October 12, 2006 — A large bunch of Janjaweed rampaged in Alfashir market and rebuffed State Governor saying they act on direct instructions of President Albashir.
A large force of Janjaweed attacked Alfashir market, October 10th, in broad day light and looted the shoe-makers quarter in the city centre. Petrified shopkeepers hurriedly deserted their premises in absolute fear. Neither the AU nor the government security forces made any attempt to intervene and control the Janjaweed mob.
Unlike Alfashir home grown Janjaweed, these attackers are imported into the area following intelligence that the NRF is about to invade city. They are brought from areas as far as Nyala, Geneina, Janjaweed capital Kabkabiya and even Khartoum.
Following the rampage, Yousif Kibir, Governor of Alfashir tried to subdue the attackers. His attempt to discipline them was cut short. The leader of the new Janjaweed declared that his instructions come directly from Albashir, and not from lowly State Governors like Mr Kibir.
The NRF assures Alfashir citizens that it stands ready to defend Darfur people and will not hesitate to enter the city, if necessary.
