Mr. Michael Khamees (33 years old), Mr. Musa Yousif (37 years old) and Mr. Osman Elamein Kuku (49
years old) were farmers. They were Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Umdurdu village (about 40 km
east Kadogli) and belonged to Tira tribe/ Nuba.
The victims’ farms (crime scene) is two (2) km from Murta neighbourhood of Kadogli. Kadogli is the capital
town in Nuba Mountains/ South Kordufan State.
In Nuba Mountains, members/soldiers of Public Defense Force (PDF) were mainly recruited from
the Arab ethnic group by the former regime as a governmental militia.
Currently, during this transitional government the PDF soldiers has been accommodated in RSF
and this deepened the social tensions and negatively impacted people of Nuba Mountains. However
there is a new order has taken place in the last two days in legalizing the PDF.
Recently in last month (May), there was a confrontation in Kadogli between the PDF/RSF and other
military group which led to loss of many lives. The confrontations pushed the Sovereign Council to
send a delegation headed by General/ Kabashi to visit the state and come up with a number of
actions/ measures and reconciliation agreement. This has not proved to work or to be respected yet.
