HUDO Centre is very concerned about the safety of civilians in Sudan during this difficult period of the conflict/ fighting between SAF and RSF and calls for the following:  The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains to stop targeting civilians and killing them extra-judicially. Instead, SAF should conduct genuine investigations and to make the findings public.  The security committee in South Kordufan state to investigate the ethnic conduct by SAF.  The security committee in South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains to ensure the civilians security and to work towards the return of the IDPs to their villages and towns safely.  The prosecutor’s office in South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains to ensure that there is rule of law and the perpetrators should be held to account.  The civilians’ rights and dignity should be preserved.
