The general economic situation has not been good and it was worsened by the
measures (like the lockdown) put in place by government to control the spread of
COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the year. This plus government mismanagement
of public resources and injustice all contributed to the hard economic situation. The
court trials against the former regime figures have not been done transparently. Sudan
as a country was removed from the USA’s list of countries supporting terrorist.
1.4 Statement of the problem
The violations in conflict areas continued mainly because of the presence of armed RSF
and PDF soldiers, the failure to act by the authorities/government or public
administrators at the state and central levels. RSF and PDF killed and injured many
people/civilians by shooting them directly. They confiscate/loot property from civilians
and recently they started to engage in armed robbery especially along the
roads(robbing travelers) in South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains. The MI/SAF resumed
arresting civilians with no action or reprimand from the authorities/government to
combat it.
Rights were violated in form of arresting people arbitrarily, unlawful killing, denying
people rights to fair trial (rule of law) and rights of civilians within conflict
areas(insecurity, abuse of authority and excessive use of power). Many times, the
authorities (police in particular) refused or failed to carry out investigations of cases
brought before them especially where RSF and PDF were involved. This is a challenge
to good governance, rule of law and an indication of impunity.
