Humanitarian Situation:
The movement of displaced people in Al Abbasiya is still a major concern, the government insists in
rejecting the establishment of IDPs camp in Abbasiya, therefore, people from Chamchaka tend to
take other options:
Capable people rented house in Abbasiya to accommodate them and other families (HUDO visited
four families living in a three rooms house).
HUDO confirmed that more than a hundred family of IDPs from Suboot and Sok Al-Jebl gatherings
in Totider and Om Algoura villages are living in the open area without shelters and some locally
erected huts, they were counted by the Humanitarian Commission but have not received and aid
materials.
About 10,000 IDPs from Kalling and Chamchaka arrived to Om Marreh
Relief food items have spotted in Al Abbasiya and Rashad markets despite the deep needs of the
IDPs.
Detention:
HUDO never watched any detention cases or release of detainees in January.
Other Issue:
(Blue Nile Trials)

(29th and 30th of January 2014) during which they completed questioning the 78 accused people of
Blue Nile incidents. The Court has also scheduled the 5th and 6th of February 2014 to present its
accusation statement as well as letting the Defense Counselors to present their list of defense

Janjaweed within 24 hours.

Forces Act and tends to try young civilians under 30 years old in Military Courts, they were
detained by military intelligence during the attacks on Chamchaka, some were detained in
