A woman was killed outright and a man lost his leg when an item of unexploded ordnance detonated in Darfur’s Jebel Marra on Tuesday. Witnesses told Radio Dabanga that Halima Suleiman Yahya (41) died in the blast at Jawa, 15 km south of Deribat in East Jebel Marra, South Darfur.

Nel territorio del Jebel Marra, a sud della città di Deribat, in località Jawa, l’esplosione di una mina uccide una donna e ferisce gravemente un 18-enne, al quale i medici non possono che amputargli la gamba colpita. A riferire la tragica notizia è come sempre Radio Dabanga.
Years of conflict have left Darfur and other war-torn areas of Sudan littered with unexploded ordnance (UXO). Radio Dabanga appeals to listeners throughout the region (and elsewhere in our reception area) not to touch any ‘unexploded’ grenades or other ammunition found in the field. Mark its position clearly to alert others, and report it immediately to a camp elder, Unamid and/or the local police.
