Its residents were displaced to Al-Abbasiya/Tagali and Wakara. Dates and causes of displacement Displacement from the above mentioned areas took place between 21 January and August, 2012. The main causes for the displacement were: • The organized operations of looting and attacks of unarmed population (civilians), by the groups of Border Guard and Popular Defense Militias (who were inspired by government) since early January, 2012. (Detailed information were included in earlier report titled: Nuba Mountains / Eastern Region). • On 28 January, 2012, SPLM forces attacked Al Migreh area and abducted Chinese laborers. This attack led to displacement from the neighboring villages like Karmogia. It also resulted in more government pressure on the Nubian group and eventually a clear instruction was passed by the government in May 2012 to evacuate the remaining inhabitants and to leave the area. th • On 9 July, 2012, Border Guard and Popular Defense Militias attacked Souq-Aljabal Area. The attack result in displacement of the residents to Rashad and Al-Abbasiya/Tagali and later on some fled to other big towns in other states while others fled to the nearby camps. • In July 2012 the government forces backed up by militias including the Janjaweed from Darfur attacked Tassai village, which resulted in further displacement. • On 20 August 2012 the government forces backed up with its militia including the Janjaweed from Darfur attacked the densely populated El-Moreib areas. This attack resulted in massive displacement from these areas which necessitated the establishment of displacement camps. Later more IDPs joined these camps after being harassed and denied the right to establish IDP camps. Important Notes on the camps • • The camps are dominated by women, children and the elders; and almost lack the presence of male youth who had migrated to big cities and areas of agricultural schemes due to two reasons: o To run away from the authorities violations and harassments . To look for work in order to help and secure their families needs.
