Executive summary replica
Since June 2011 to present time South Kordufan/ Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile states
of Sudan have undergone through conflict. This resulted in many atrocities and different
human rights violations occurred. The Government of Sudan (GoS) had earlier declared
the state of emergency in the two states. Later the GoS formed the Rapid Support
Forces a replica of Janjaweed militia. The GoS equipped the RSF with more destructive
equipment and enlarged their field of work to include the two states (SK and BN) in
addition to Darfur.
The aim of this report is to bring to light the human rights violation and abuses taking
place in SK and BN states (government territory) of Sudan and the situation of internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the two states. The information included in this report
was gathered by trained monitors using a well prepared instrument that developed
under supervision of HURICAP/ AI-NL and compiled by trained reporting panel. The
report does not cover all incidents that occurred due to many challenges and limitations.
The violations and abuses included in this report are; arbitrary arrest and torture which
were mainly carried out by Military Intelligence (MI) and National Intelligence and
security Services (NISS) in conflict areas. This intensified because of the emergency
status which allows the military forces to arrest civilians. There are also cases of
extrajudicial killing and death under torture mostly carried out by military and their allied
militias (the Rapid Support Force and People Defense Force (PDF). Also, there are
many murder cases that were not investigated even where the perpetrators are known
and partly because of insecurity. Cases of sexual violence were mainly committed by
Rapid Support Force (RSF) and the police could not carry out investigations and there
was no reaction from authorities. The Christians and students were targeted more than
before. The report gives recommendations calling on both parties at war to consider and
respect the international human rights laws, calling upon regional and international
bodies to compel the Government of Sudan (GoS) to respect the international human
rights and humanitarian laws.
