More information
Kologi is a capital city of Gadier locality. Gadier village is about 15 km East of Kologi while Kao is about 50 km
South-East of Kologi. Talodi is a capital city of Talodi locality about 60 km West Kologi. Gardood Toro is a
forested (bushy) area between Kologi and Talodi mainly occupied by nomads. All these areas are in South
Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains.
Dar Ali is sub-tribe of Hawazma and they are mostly Nomads. Initially, they had settled at Bit-Alkalb but due to
the war conflict in South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains between the government and SPLA-N they were displaced
and moved to Kenana tribe’s area of Elhemaid and other places as well as their nomadic life. Kawahla and
Dar Ali both are Arab tribes.
The trigger of tribal conflict predate back to January 2020 at Elhemaid area (between Kologi and Abu-Jibaiha
towns).The conflict was between Dar Ali-tribe and Kenana tribes and later it involved other neighbouring tribes
like Kawahla-tribe, Lougan-tribe and Kao-Nyaro against Dar Ali-tribe. Dar Ali-tribe/ Hawazma members used to
come from different far areas (like Umbrembeta, Khor-Eldelaib and Abu-Kershola) to support their fellows in
case of a fight/conflict. Initially, the two tribes were armed by the former regime (of Al-Bishir) as part of the
Popular Defense Force (PDF).
Currently many families have migrated/shifted from Kologi and more others are still leaving. There is no
presence of government/ authorities’ initiatives as far as safeguarding the citizens is concerned or ending the
conflict.
Since 12th June 2021, the single road which connects Talodi and Aleri localities to Abu-Jibaiha and rest of
Sudan is closed because of these violent incidents. This led to the rise of prices for essential commodities in
the two localities.
