The farmers recognized the armed men who shot at them and reported/ filed the case against them at Abu-Jibaiha police. But no further step was carried out by police. On 26 thJuly 2021, Mr. Bahaa-Eldein Hasabu Hamad together with his brother Mr. Eltayeb and other two farmers were shot. The victims were at their agricultural scheme located between Abu-Jibaiha and Elrahmania when five (5) armed people attacked and shot at them. As a result Mr. Bahaa-Eldein died while the other three sustained injuries, thereafter, the assailants run away. The injured people recognized some of the attackers and reported/ filed the case at Abu-Jibaiha police. An activist in Abu-Jibaiha informed HUDO Centre that he suspects the cause of this attack to be related to the tribal conflict between Hawazma and Kenana tribes since the victims are from Kenana and the suspected attackers are from Hawazma. Elrahmania is a village 25 km west Abu-Jibaiha town. Abu-Jibaiha is a city in the eastern region of South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains. HUDO is very concerned about the security situation and the safety of civilians in conflict areas and calls upon; <br> · Sudan government to urgently solve the tribal conflict and the insecurity situation in the eastern region of South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains.<br> · Sudan government to ensure the rule of law, safety of people and their properties.<br> · Sudan government to hold to account the security committee in South Kordufan State. <br> · Sudan government to dissolve the government militias and disarm people with unlicensed firearms. <br> <br> End: For more information please write to: hudo2009@gmail.com<o:p></o:p></p>
