HUDO Centre Date: 15th December 2021 No. H.K/UA/19/021 URGENT APPEAL MANY PEOPLE KILLED AND OTHERS INJURED OVER TRIBAL FIGHTS IN ABU-JIBAIHA, SUDAN On 30th November 2021, cattle looters triggered tribal fights in Abu-Jibaiha and as a result, people were killed, others injured and houses were burnt. The situation is still tense and the governmental authorities did not intervened adequately. On 30th November 2021, cattle were looted from Jabarouna in Abu-Jibaiha. The three cattle owners from Kenana tribe pursued the looters. They used a motorbike while following the cattle footsteps. When they approached the cattle, the armed thieves (cattle looters) shot and killed two of the cattle owners (Mr. Mohammed Elmadani and Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim). The third one (Mr. Abbas Elmadani – he is a brother of Mohammed Elmadani) survived but he sustained injuries. The cattle looters also took the victims’ motorbike and they went away. The injured person (Abbas) used a phone to call his family for rescue. The relatives came to the incident scene and took him (the injured) with the two dead bodies to Abu-Jibaiha hospital. Abbas also recognized two of the thieves; that they are from his neighbourhood (Jabarouna) and they are from Hawazma tribe. On 1st December 2021, the two dead bodies were buried. After the burial some of the victims’ relatives attacked the homes of the cattle looters and burnt their houses. The fire extended to many other houses (estimated to be over hundred houses) and this caused displacement of many families to Abu-Jibaiha town. On 2nd and 3rd December 2021, a group of armed people from Hawazma tribe attacked residents of Jabourna. The fight took place between the two tribes using fire arms (guns). As a result, many people were killed and others injured among the two fighting tribes. The residents (especially women and children) of Jabarouna and other neighbourhood were displaced (relocated) to the eastern part of the town (opposite side of the town). This is the list of causalities from Kenana tribe (excluding who were killed and injured by cattle looters above): Names of the dead; Eltayeb Hasabu, Elsamani Mohammed Abdalla, Musa Eldegail, Daheeya Elsheikh, Mohammed Hassan and Hassabu Berair.
