HUDO Centre Up to date, Al Geneina town is under siege by RSF and Arab militias, carrying out attacks from time to time and targeting activists and intellectuals especially those from Massalit tribe. There are snipers in some parts of the town limiting the civilians’ movement. The invasion (attacks) included other parts of west Darfur like; Habilla locality; on 24th April 2023, RSF troops invaded Habilla town and the security organs (SAF, police and General Intelligence Service) immediately abandoned/quit the town. After one week, the RSF moved out of this town and handed it over to Arab militias. The Arab militias imposed daily payment on the residents as cost (tax) of not looting them or killing them. They also put a ban on any movements out of the town and other villages within the locality (like tewainj village). The Arab militias have been executing people selectively. Mesteri and Moley; on 9thMay 2023, some of the residents of these villages were displaced to Chad. They sought refuge after being intimidated and threatened by attacks. From 22nd May 2023, Mesteri had been under series of attacks for two weeks which resulted in the death of ninety seven (97) people, fifty (50) injured, and thirteen (13) abducted. The whole village was looted and burnt down that forced all its dwellers to displace to Chad. A medical doctor from Al Geneina described the situation that; “It’s very similar to the genocide that took place in Rwanda where by the world watched the mass selective killing with zero intervention. Everyone in Al Geneina particularly from Massalit tribe is expecting and waiting his/her death”. HUDO Centre is very concerned about the safety of civilians in Sudan within this very bad period and urgently calls upon:  The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Darfur regional authority to exercise their responsibility of protecting civilians in Darfur.  The African Peace and Security Council to take the necessary measures towards civilians’ security and to secure safe passes for civilians and humanitarian assistance.  The Mediators in Jeddah (US and KSA) to consider in any potential cease fire between the two warring parties to be conducted also in Darfur and other parts of Sudan.  The UN Security Council to conduct fact finding mission and investigate the ongoing atrocities.
