Dinder , July 14(Darfur 24)
The Dindir Emergency Room in Sennar State, southeastern Sudan, said on Sunday that support forces looted agricultural machinery, seeds, fertilizer, and pesticides from the city’s villages.
This step is expected to cause the failure of the agricultural season, which begins this July with the onset of the fall season, as the region depends on rain to grow peanuts, sesame, and sorghum.
The Dandir Emergency Room said, in a statement obtained by “Darfur 24,” that “the Rapid Support Militia collected all the agricultural tractors and their accessories from their owners by intimidating, beating, and killing them throughout the locality, east, west, north, and south.”
She indicated that Rapid Support collected about 200 agricultural tractors in the villages of Al-Fareesh and Kamrab, west of Dinder.
She continued: “The militia members seized all agricultural seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides from the villages and farmers’ stores, which heralds the failure of the agricultural season, which will lead to a famine whose effects will affect all the people of Sudan, given that Dinder is one of the largest agricultural areas in the country.”
The Rapid Support Forces attacked the city of Dinder at the beginning of this July, and the army quickly regained control over it before the Rapid Support took control of it on July 5 in an attack led by Abd al-Rahman al-Bishi.
The chamber reported that “the villages of Kamrab and Al-Fareesh have become a center and a center for the militia, as the Rapid Support legions depart from them to practice plundering, plundering and killing, in addition to turning them into warehouses for looted goods from the city of Dinder and its villages.”
She stressed that the continued cuts in electricity, water, and communications in Dindir locality, and the significant rise in the prices of consumer goods, threaten the lives of those remaining in Dindir.
