Sudanese force holding survivors of Darfur siege for ransom, witnesses say

CAIRO/TINE: The Sudanese paramilitary force that besieged then overran a city in Darfur in late October is systematically holding trapped residents for ransom, killing or beating those whose families cannot pay, witnesses, aid workers and researchers say. Reuters could not determine exactly how many people the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias have detained in and around Al-Fashir, capital of North Darfur.
