Eyewitnesses said that some 20 insurgents on camels and horses \u2018discreetly\u2019 entered the police station after gathering at the town\u2019s market at 3:00 a.m. Once inside, they kept on firing gunshots for about 25 minutes, panicking many people in the neighborhood. At least one person died during the course of events, though reports conflict as to whether he was one of the attackers or a prisoner. \u201cBy God, for sure a group of radical criminals \u2013 road robbers \u2013 came at 3:07 am and opened fire at the police and released the prisoners. There are no losses only one of the prisoners was affected and unfortunately died, while the others escaped by a designated route. Actually it was something planned. But on the side of the police there were no losses,\u201d said one witness. Legal sources explained that most of these prisoners were set to receive the final verdict of their sentences on the day they were freed, adding these included \u2018harsh\u2019 rulings such as death or life imprisonment. They explained that in line with sharia law, criminal sentences become very predictable if victims\u2019 families refuse to receive blood money for their murdered relatives. Judges, in these cases, mostly only hand out sentences of death or life terms. \u00a0 A local politician noted that some inmates facing light criminal charges returned to the prison after the attack. Ammar Jibril Hamid Ambodi, the secretary-general of the National Umma Party (NUP) in South Darfur, said he woke up to the sounds of gunfire at the police station and found all cells empty and one of the attackers dead when he arrived. Ambodi said that what happened is \u201cvery serious\u201d but not the first time Buram witnessed something of the kind. He blamed the state and local authorities, besides the locality\u2019s police chief, for the release of the prisoners. \u201cAuthorities must be strong, capable and carefully understand their role towards citizens,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause security is a responsibility of the government and not of civilians.\u201d He called upon the state government and local authorities to ensure citizens are safe in their \u201chomes, farms and businesses.\u201d \u00a0 Last December, a group of armed men raided the headquarters of the Nyala special court for crimes in Darfur and took three defendants after shooting at the court's police and severely beating the judge. The defendants were on trial for looting 450,000 US dollars and 45 million Sudanese pounds belonging to UNAMID, approximately three months before."}
