Thousands of people who fled their homes during mass attacks on El Geneina, capital of West Darfur, in early April, want to return to their homes, as the conditions in the shelters are dire. The acting governor of West Darfur, Mohamed Zakaria, told reporters in the town that the displaced demanded to return to their homes, and explained that a West Darfur government team has inspected the affected areas in the attacked neighbourhoods.

According to the West Darfur Doctors Committee, the number of victims from the El Geneina massacre has risen to 163 after a severely injured person died and another body was found. The RSF claims that peace has been restored in the area but many are still displaced and unrest, instability, and protests remain present.
The attacks in, and around, the capital of West Darfur have now cost the lives of at least 163 and left more than 100,000 people displaced in attacks by Arab herdsmen on El Geneina and nearby camps for the displaced on January 16 and 17.
