Janjaweed militias accused of attacking villages as violence continues to rise in a region once ravaged by civil war

“Militias have been attacking the villages of Jebel Moon, setting fire to houses and using automatic rifle fire since Sunday,” a tribal leader said. “No government forces have arrived since the attacks on Thursday and we are terrified of an attack at any time.”

Between last Saturday and Monday, clashes already left at least 16 dead in the same region, according to an independent union of medics. Scores of people have been killed and hundreds of houses torched in several bouts of violence in Jebel Moon as well as elsewhere in Darfur in recent months, the UN and medics say.

Darfur was ravaged by a civil war that erupted in 2003, pitting ethnic minority rebels who complained of discrimination against the Arab-dominated government of the then-president, Omar al-Bashir., mainly recruited from Arab pastoralist tribes, who were blamed for atrocities including murder, rape, looting and burning villages.The region remains awash with weapons and deadly clashes often erupt over access to pasture or water.
