HUDO Centre Additional information: The current war between Sudan Armed Force (SAF) and Rapid Support Force (RSF) affected South Kordufan as well as other parts of Sudan. The most active tribe that has members affiliated to RSF in South Kordufan is Hawazma and mostly from Abu-Kershola locality. The major towns of Abu-Kershola locality are Abu-Kershola town, Umbrembeta, Elfaid Um-Abdalla and KhorEldeleib. Hawazma sub-tribes whom located in this locality are; Aseera, Toogeya (among them Dar Kaabir), Ayatga (Hamid’s Omoodya), Dar Faied, Dar Ali, Dar Hesaiba, Dar Jegir, Awlad Maksour among others. Two of the most active commanders within RSF (former SAF officers) whom from this Hawazma group are; Officer/ Elnour Hamid Murahid from Aseera and officer Mahadi Kabba is from Toogeya/ Dar Kaabir. Currently, RSF occupies Um-Rawaba and Rahad in North Kordufan State (the two towns are neighbouring AbuKershola locality). They are also threatening Elobeid city (the capital city of North Kordufan State) and frequently attacking it. In this regard, SAF accuses the RSF members of Abu-Kershola locality to be responsible of these activities. All of the people killed are from Hawazma tribe except those killed by the indiscriminate shelling (Mr. Mohammed Fadul and Mr. Ishaq Musa Dafa-Alla) were from Bargo tribe. The ongoing acts of killing civilians by SAF affected the movement of people between the locality’s towns and raised the tension and anger among residents.
