Executive summary This report covers some incidents that occurred between January and December 2020 in the government controlled territories of South Kordufan (SK) and Blue Nile (BN) States and among IDPs from the two states. In Khartoum state, the violations reduced significantly but in conflict areas, violations went on with limited or no intervention from the authorities. The police did not execute their duties well and for this reason, the perpetrators carried on with violations and abuses unrestricted. However, cases of abuses and violations in BN were generally low compared to SK. The aim of this report is to bring to light the human rights violations and abuses in SK and BN states of Sudan (government territory) and the situation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the two states. The information/ data included in this report was a result of prepared tools which were used by trained human rights field-monitors in gathering data. Data from the field monitors was reviewed and compiled by the competent reporting panel. Due to many challenges, this report does not take account of all incidents that occurred during this period. The violations and abuses included in this report are; Arbitrary arrests, whereby more than eighty four (84+) civilians were arbitrarily detained. Unlawful killings, whereby, more than forty (40+) civilians were shot dead. Towards the end of the year 2020, armed robberies were rampant mainly in SK and this was attributed to presence of very many troops of RSF and PDF soldiers. There were other kinds of violations that were mainly committed by government’s security organs and militias. On a regular basis, police deliberately refused to respond or failed to carry out investigations of cases that were brought before them. The report also includes court observation notes for specific trials with human rights aspect. In recommendation, this report calls upon Sudan transitional government to respect and implement its obligations towards the citizens and respect the international human rights laws. The report also urges the international community to stand with the victims in reparation for their rights. v
