Frightening of students by police at the school On 27th September 2016 at 10:00 am, thirty seven (37) police officers headed by a captain on four vehicles (two with number plates and two without) entered Al-Gadeima24 secondary school in Al-Abbasiya town and started to shoot in air while students were in class. This scared both the teachers and students. The headmaster went to the captain and asked him about the reason for the shooting. The captain replied “we had information that students were planning to demonstrate about Al-Sanadra incident. This is a message to them, this time we fired on air but, if they dare demonstrate, the fire will be on their chests after all, you all belong to SPLA-N’’. As a result, five students who were originally from Al-Sanadra left the school25.

Then he gathered and took them towards the police post where there is a prepared fence (locally called ZARIBA) for such animals to be kept till the owner appears. Before entering the cattle to the fence, the owner Ommda, Manzoul came with a stick and instantly started beating Aboud while insulting him by calling him a SLAVE, associating him/his Tagali tribe with rebels and swearing that he will drive him out of Elfaid town. As a result, the Ommda managed to take his cattle and went away. All this happened as the police officers watched. In a short while, Aboud decided to report the matter to police officers in order to get justice but, the police did not record his case. Instead they referred him (informed him to go) to the prince (higher than Ommda in community leaders‟ hierarchy).
