On April 8th 2015 SPLA-N attacked Madinah 10, on 10 April 2015 SAF reacted on the
SPLA-N‟s attacks on Madinah 10 by burning Madeim Aljabel Village of Bau Locality (14
kilometers south of Damazin). The SAF justified the burning by accusing the residents
of the area that they cooperate with the SPLA-N. According to the local leaders, the
area was inhabited by about 547 families mostly from Ingasana and Masaleet tribes as
well as IDPs33 from Sabil, Khor Maganza (Maganza) and Fadima villages. Some of the
displaced persons from Madeim Aljabel relocated to Madeim Masaleet village while
others remained in the wilderness. Later on May 9th 2015 the Government of Blue Nile
State forced them to move to Madeim Masaleet to Roseires Locality.
On April 13th2015, SPLA-N attacked Madinah 10 for the second time and this attack
displaced almost all the inhabitants in town to Madinah 8 and Madinah 9. Some went up
to Damazin and others preferred to follow the Nile to their original villages.
On May11th2015, SAF gave the civilians of Khor Maganza village in Bau Locality two
hours to evacuate. About 1500 families mostly from Ingasana Tribe had to leave. Some
immediately left while others stayed and watched their houses and shops burn. Those
who remained had stayed in the open area for three days and later went to Um Barid
north of Roseires. Those who left earlier settled in Roseires, Alazaza and Shanisha
villages. On the same day (May 11th2015) citizens of Bagees village were evacuated
and transported by SAF to Alshaheed Afandi village in Bau Locality. Blue Nile State
Humanitarian Commissioner visited them on the following day but, no services were
provided.
