URGENT APPEAL RESIDENTS RIOTED BECAUSE OF INSECURITY IN KADOGLI, SUDAN
People in Kadogli organized a public demonstration protesting the state of
insecurity. This was because of the worsening security status especially in
form of murder and robbery incidents towards the end of year 2020. Police
office did not do much to arrest the anonymous perpetrators. On the night of
17th December 2020, Mr. Mohammed Ali Mohammed Eldai was shot and killed at his
house in Alkooz neighbourhood in Kadogli. On the same night, Mr. Ahmed Gabir at
his house in Eldaraga Althaltha neighbourhood was robbed of his belongings and
got a gunshot injury in his right leg by masked people. On 18th December 2020
morning hours, Ms. S.S at Elsouq neighbourhood was robbed of her smart phone
and money (equivalent to $100) at gunpoint by unknown people. On 24th December
2020 night, Mr. Senein Sabun Marra was shot and killed by four armed people at
his house in Eldaraga Althaltha neighbourhood. All cases were filed at police
against anonymous and no serious steps had been taken to apprehend the
perpetrators. For this reason, on 27 December 2020 Kadogli’s residents
organized a demonstration march and delivered their message to the state
government condemning the state of insecurity and demanded safety (security).
HUDO is very concerned about the situation of civilians in conflict areas and
calls upon:
· Sudan government to
address the state of insecurity in South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains.
· Sudan government to
ensure that the safety of civilians in conflict areas is guaranteed
· Sudan government to
dissolve the government militias and disarm people with unlicensed firearms.
· Sudan government to
respect the constitutional rights of citizens
· Sudan government to
respect its international obligations. HUDO Centre More information Mr.
Mohammed Ali Mohammed Eldai was 19 years old; Mr. Ahmed Gabir is 25 years old
and trader; Ms. S.S is 18 years old and student; Mr. Senein Sabun Marra was 55
years old and known trader in Kadogli market. Kadogli is a capital city of
South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains. The insecurity in Nuba Mountains/ South
Kordufan State is deteriorating day after day. Over and over again HUDO Centre
reported the incidents of murder, injuring and looting from different parts of
the state while police or the security committee is watching with no action or
investigation. Yet, on 28th December 2020, when a soldier by names of Mr.
Saifeldin Angalu of Sudan Armed Force (SAF) was killed, immediately a troop of
SAF was deployed and they managed to arrest some suspected people and handed
them to police. But in the cases where civilians are the victims, there is no
action taken!!! The affected rights: Right to life
