On
June 28, 2013, fighting erupted between Gharri and Degodia militias at
Malka Mari and Shirshir. It was said that over 40 people were killed and
many more wounded from both sides. However, the Gharri people have
gained the upper hand and were able to evict the Degodia militias from
two camps that have been occupied by the Degodia for the past 6 weeks.
The
Degodia militia over ran about 30 Gharri police officers that were
stationed at Malka Mari and began terrorizing several adjacent Gharri
communities. But, their occupation of Malka Mari ended in a dramatic
fashion. The Degodia terrorists were forcibly removed on Friday June 28,
2013 from both camps that had been under their control for over a month.
So, they left behind their dead, food rations, and weaponry.
