- Description of incident
On Sunday (4th-Jan-2015) afternoon, about one hundred fifty (150) armed soldiers with eighteen (18) land cruisers arrived in this village. They were wearing two different kinds of uniform (the military and PDF uniforms). The troops were commanded by Maj.Azmei, Capt.Ali and the head commander of PDF at Al Abbasiya district by names of Yagoub Amein Elbushra. The troops parked at the Mayor’s (Farah Ibrahim Keuair) compound, when he came to them with other mayor (Mohmed Abduelraheem Burma). Maj.Azmei gave a very short speech and said that as the government they had decided to erase this village because “you Tagali tribe have some young men who joined SPLA/N and you failed to bring them back and this area is used in passing on supplies to the rebels”. When the mayor tried to reply some soldiers started a gun fire.
