notes: On Feb 28th, soldiers from the SAF attacked pastoralists outside of Umm Dukhun (West Darfur), in an apparent attempt to rob them of livestock. The pastoralists (armed with knives and sticks) attempted to prevent the robberies, though three were shot dead by soldiers and a further two were wounded. Several soldiers sustained cuts in the battle, which was used to identify six soldiers who were later arrested.
