HUDO Centre Date: 21st May 2020 No. H.K/UA/07/020 URGENT APPEAL MISERABLE CONDITIONS OF THE RECENTLY DISPLACED PEOPLE IN KADOGLI, SUDAN On 13th May 2020, armed RSF soldiers attacked Albardab village and killed nine (9) unarmed people, looted and burned down houses basing on ethnicity. As a result, more than two thousand people were displaced from their village. The displaced people have not received any humanitarian aid and are in a miserable state. On 13thMay 2020, armed group of Rapid Support Force (RSP) soldiers came on four land-cruiser vehicles with some motorbikes and invaded Albardab village. On arrival, they started to ask about the ethnicity of the residents they came across and it turned out that they were targeting the Nuba. Whoever said that they were from Nuba ethnicity had to be assaulted / beaten or killed and their houses had to be looted and burnt down. As a result, nine (9) people were killed, more than two hundred (200) huts/houses were burntdown and more than two thousand people were displaced. The displaced people settled in two schools near the military base of Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in Kadogli town while others went to al-Kewaik and Dameek village in search of protection. No services or aid has been provided to them regardless of the fact that government officials visited and witnessed the torched houses. Instead, the government officials requested the IDPs to return home without offering any protection or rehabilitation. Yet the attackers are still threatening to attack again. HUDO is still very concerned about the situation/ lives of civilians in conflict areas and calls upon;  Sudan government to urgently and responsibly investigate the state of insecurity in South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains and to solve it urgently.  Sudan government to investigate the conduct and racist acts of the RSF and to ensure the rule of law.  Sudan government to ensure the protection and safety of people in conflict areas.  Sudan government to dissolve the government militia and disarm them.  Sudan government to respect its international obligation towards their citizens.  The UN agencies, INGOs and national NGOs in Sudan, to monitor the situation and give the needed support for the IDPs.
