Also the Kawahla members informed HUDO Centre that, they got to know Dar Ali/ Hawazma’s preparation for this attack a day before and alerted/ informed both the military commandant and chief of police in Kologi on 18th June 2021. But, there was no protection mechanism or security measures put in place to safeguard unarmed civilians or prevent this attack. These incidents happened but police and military in Kologi did not intervene yet they were present. Note: The trigger of tribal conflict predate back to January 2020 at Elhemaid area (between Kologi and Abu-Jibaiha towns).The conflict was between Dar Ali-tribe and Kenana tribes and later it involved other neighbouring tribes like Kawahla-tribe, Lougantribe and Kao-Nyaro against Dar Ali-tribe. Dar Ali-tribe/ Hawazma members used to come from different far areas (like Umbrembeta, Khor-Eldelaib and Abu-Kershola) to support their fellow people in case of a fight/conflict. Initially, the two tribes were armed by the former regime (of Al-Bishir) as part of the Popular Defense Force (PDF). 2.2.18 PDF attacks farmers, kills one and injured others in Sabori On 13th June 2021, while Sabori farmers were cultivating at their farms, a group of armed people dressed in PDF uniform attacked and shot bullets at them.
