Over the last week and a half there has been more indiscriminate killing by the Sudanese government in western Darfur. It is taking place in an area north of El Geneina. Up to 12,000 people have fled across the border into eastern Chad. One story tells of refugees desperately bringing a woman whose both legs were severed in the bombing, only to have her die several hours later. According to news agency witnesses, there was heavy bombing, and refugees report over 100 people, mainly civilians, killed. There was direct bombimg of several IDP (internally displaced persons camps.
