APRIL 2006


The village of Donkey Dereis has been a battlefield between government and rebel forces, ever since the rebel movements moved into South Darfur in strength early in 2004 and began establishing a presence in villages inhabited by the Masalit tribe, one of their core support

groups.

On April 27, 2006, the government army and it's proxy militias violently recaptured Donkey Dereis, after reportedly targeting civilians and burning houses in their village.
