ICRC transfers 4 Sudan soldiers from Khor Abeche to Nyala
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Wednesday facilitated the transfer of four soldiers of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) to Nyala, capital of South Darfur.
The troops had been captured by elements of the Sudan Liberation Movement for Justice (SLMJ of Karbino) and released in Khor Abeche in South Darfur, the movement disclosed to Radio Dabanga.
SLJM spokesman Mubarak Mohamed Ahmed said three soldiers had been abducted in Dobbo El Madrasa, East Jebel Marra, and the other in Labado.
Last week, the movement published the names of three officers its forces captured during combats in Dobbo.
Adil Sharif of ICRC informed Radio Dabanga the SAF troops were transferred by helicopter to Nyala where they were received by Sudanese authorities.
He added ICRC first interviewed the officers in private to ensure the transfer happened according to their will.
Just days ago ICRC flew 14 SAF soldiers from Labado to Nyala, and weeks before the organization supported the release of 31 displaced persons captured by rebel forces in Darfur.

Airstrikes kill 4 in Khor Abeche, South Darfur
A young child and three adults were killed when an Antonov aircraft “belonging to the Sudanese air forces” dropped several bombs in Khor Abeche, South Darfur, on Sunday.
Aircrafts have been flying regularly over the area “since Sunday at daytime”, the mother of the decreased child told Radio Dabanga. She noted the bombardments also killed several livestock.
Anticipating imminent airstrikes, hungry residents do not dare leaving their shelters and search for food. In addition, roads around Khor Abeche have been closed for days and the area is facing shortages in food and in medicine.
“The movement of people is almost inexistent”, the source said.
Local residents are appealing to aid agencies, to the UN and to UNAMID to pressure the government to stop aerial bombings and provide them urgent humanitarian relief.
