yet it has not reduced the power and impunity from NISS and military forces in order to ensure independent investigation and prosecution of crimes (human rights violations) committed by the forces7 under international law. 4 Statement of the problem Since the war broke out in 2011, the humanitarian situation in SK and BN worsened. Many people were displaced within South Kordufan and others moved further to other states including Khartoum state. The government could not allow them erect IDPs camps wherever they settled. The IDPs and people in conflict areas have been targeted, harassed and arrested while accusing them of associating with SPLA-N. The general state of insecurity and violations persisted since SK and BN are still under the „state of emergency‟ as declared by the president of Sudan in 2011. Many atrocities like arbitrary arrests, unlawful killing, torture, sexual violence among other forms of violence have been committed by RSF, PDF, NISS, MI and in some cases police. People like members of SPLM-N, former SPLA soldiers, students‟ unions and Christians have been targeted and arrested arbitrary. The PDF attacked, killed and sometimes looted villages like in Alsanadra village where many people were killed /massacred by PDF. In other cases of murder, police did not help with investigations for instance those who were found dead especially in gold mines8. There are also cases of rape of both children (girl child) and adults. Most of the rape cases were reported but, police did not carry out investigations while the perpetrators were known and moving freely. From 2015, violations especially on the rights of worship/ religion intensified in Sudan. For instance , the threats issued by authorities and the demolition of some churches, arrests of Christian Pastors, leaders and some of their followers. Also there was a case/trial at Khartoum Centre court against Pastors‟ and an activist. Currently, the land related conflicts between nomads (cattle keepers) and the cultivators are exaggerated because some members of PDF support one tribe/side. The violated rights included in this report are; Security of person, Right to life, Child rights, Rights of women and girls, Rights of civilians within conflict areas, right to worship among other violations. 7 Amnesty International, Sudan Report 2016/2017 https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/africa/sudan/report-sudan/ 8 There are six gold mines in Talodi locality, those are: 1) Altugula, 13 km east Talodi 2) Al-Lafa, 10 km southeast Talodi. 3) AldaamAlsareea (RSF), 8 km northeast Talodi 4) Meraidan, 14 km southeast Talodi 5) Alhamia (military HQ), 3km east Talodi 6) Alshargey, 20 km east Talodi. 3
