(viii) Jamal Naga (West Darfur), 4 September 2007
UN agencies, bodies and programs operating in Darfur received information of an alleged
attack on Jamal Naga (seven kilometers northwest of El Geneina) on 4 September, at around
midnight, by militiamen from Shakawaya, Koncongha and Beyra. On 8 September 2007, victims
and witnesses from Jamal Naga reported that, on 4 September 2007, about 70 militiamen on
horseback surrounded Jamal Naga.
UN staff interviewed three victims, a man and two women, who had been physically
assaulted and abducted by the attackers. The victims indicated that they have been held in
Shakawaya (a village) for 24 hours. The attackers demanded a ransom of 5,000 Sudanese Dinars
for their release from the Adar police, where the abductees were subsequently taken. The police
commander in Adar told the abductors that the police do not have the ransom and then advised
them to hand over the detainees to the police in Ardamata. Subsequently, the abductors refused
to hand over the detainees to the police and transferred them to Shakawaya. Reportedly,
detainees were released the following day and on their way back to Dorti IDP camp were
assisted by the AMIS patrol that brought them to the Ardamata police station. The male victim
who was seriously injured was immediately transferred to the military hospital where he was
admitted and treated. A police file was opened at Medina police station in El Geneina.
