A farmer called Farah Suliman and his brother Adam Suliman were killed on Monday inside their farm in al-Salam locality in Sudan’s South Darfur state.

The incident happened when camel herders entered into their farm which they resisted, prompting the herders to shoot them down immediately, according to a family member.

Madawi Mohammed Dau el Bait, a family member of the victims, told Radio Tamazuj that a troop from the Rapid Support Forces from Nyala town arrested a local leader from the suspected perpetrators' village.

He added that the authorities are still following them, saying that police from Katila locality are doing the same.

Local residents from Katila locality from which the two victims are from have called on the authorities to ask camel herders to stay away from farms.
