Darfur 24-El-Geneina
The Sultan of Dar Masalit, Saad Abd al-Rahman Bahr al-Din, has appealed to humanitarian organizations to provide urgent assistance to those affected by the tribal fighting in the city of El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, and at the same time hinted to return to the “Gilani” agreement and use the right of self-determination.
Saad said in a press conference in El Geneina that the humanitarian conditions that have resulted from the recent tribal violence have become awful.
