At least 50 people are reported to have been killed in recent days in attacks by the Sudanese government and Janjaweed militias in Darfur.


Jar El Naby, a commander with the rebel Sudan Liberation Army, told VOA by phone from Darfur that at least five people had been killed Wednesday in attacks in Bir Maza northern Darfur, including a young boy.


"Janjaweed militia 2 and government troops attacked area of Bir Mazza, yesterday at one o'clock. First they attacked the area [with] 200 Janjaweed militia [on] horse and camels and killed more civilians," he said.


El Naby called on the international community to stop attacks on civilians.


"We want to demand from the international community and especially the U.N. to save our civilians because this situation made our civilians in the northern area be in danger," he said.  "The situation of civilians is very bad in this area."
