More information
Tabaldiya is a village about 40 km Southeast of Debaibat town and Odaya village is about 30 km East of
Debaibat. Debaibat and the two villages are in Elgouz locality of South Kordufan State.
Jimeeya is an Arab tribe while Bargo is an African origin tribe.
Case Background: Jimeeya and Bargo tribes were living together in Tabaldiya village up to last April 2021
when Borgo people accused Jimeeya youth of stealing their property. The issue was raised at the level of
community leaders (Ommdas) and they agreed that, no one of Jimeeya youth should enter the Borgo living
side. One day, some youth of Jimeeya breached the agreement and passed through Bargo area. They were
assaulted by Bargo youth and one of Jimeeya youth was died.
The two tribes have since activated the customary law that forced Bargo tribe to relocate themselves out of the
village and they moved to other village called Odaya (more than 10 km far from Tabaldiya). On 1st June 2021
(the incident day), three of Bargo youth came on motorbike to Debaibat town for fueling and when they
reached the petrol station they found a long queue, then they decided to have a cup of tea at the tea seller
before accessing the queue. As they waited at the tea seller’s place, the attackers arrived and shot three of
them dead (the first three names and underlined in the mentioned dead people above).
Some of the wounded victims are: Hamad Jad-Kareem, Muneer Adam Elnour, Farha Eisa (the tea seller),
Hamid Karazai, Adam and a deaf man known by Abu-Shaiba.
