some youth of Jimeeya breached the agreement and passed through Bargo area. They
were assaulted by Bargo youth and one of Jimeeya youth was killed.
The two tribes have since activated the customary law that forced Bargo tribe to
relocate or shift out of the village and they moved to another 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
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 of the killed people mentioned above).
Note: Jimeeya is an Arab tribe while Bargo is an African origin tribe.
2.2.17 Deaths and causalities over tribal fights in Kologi
Kologi after the attack
Since 10th June 2021, the security situation in Kologi deteriorated due to conflicts
between Kawahla12 and Dar Ali/ Hawazma13 tribes that led to murders and injuries of
people. This happened when security organs were present but could not intervene.

Kawahla is an Arab tribe mostly in SK based at Kologi town/ Gadier locality
Dar Ali is sub-tribe of Hawazma and they are generally Nomads. Initially, they had settled at Bit-Alkalb
but due to the war conflict in South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains between the government and SPLA-N
they were displaced and moved to Kenana tribe’s area of Elhemaid and other places. They also move
because of their nomadic lifestyle in search of pasture and water.
