On July 7, 2024, gunshot was heard in Wadi Saleh locality, Central Darfur state. The next morning, YCON observers confirmed that the shooting took place at the site of the relief warehouses, and that large quantities of relief materials were looted by using two Landcruiser vehicles. Fingers point to the retired Captain Abdel Sabour Adam Mazen and the RSF commander in the sector, Captain Osman Abdel Karim, as the culprits behind the looting. The distribution process witnessed some tensions, as two days were set for the distribution.
