29 feared dead in Darfur slaughter

THE UN High Commissioner for Refugees said an unprecedented attack on a displaced persons’ camp in Sudan’s embattled Darfur region has reportedly killed 29 people.

Antonio Guterres, chief of the UN agency, cited aid workers’ reports of the attack on Wednesday at Aro Sharow camp, which also left 10 seriously injured.

The reports said 300 mounted armed Arab men attacked the camp in northwest Darfur.
