HUDO Centre More information The detainees Mr. Taj-Elsir Abdalla Mesaibeil is 28 years old and health worker/ advisor in Mandi health centre and Mr. Hussein Ibrahim Abu-Jarra is 24 years old and trader (self-employed) at Mandi market. Talodi is the capital town of Talodi Locality in Nuba Mountains/ South Kordufan State and it’s under the Sudan government control. Mandi is a village in Talodi locality and it’s about 25 km Northeast of Talodi town and it’s under SPLAN controlled territory. After the ouster of former president (Bashir) in 2019, open markets (social markets) started operating in different areas in Nuba Mountains (like in Talodi) for the people in two controlled areas (government and SPLA-N) which enabled relatives to meet after years of separation. Traders also exchange goods and people mixed freely from either sides. But recently, the new Military Intelligence (MI) commandant for SAF in Talodi by names of Major/ Ibrahim Abduelhafeez has been arresting civilians who come from SPLA-N controlled areas. SAF also confiscates the goods/valuables of the arrested civilians. This led to the closure of the open markets in Talodi and the separation of people from either side.
