About one hundred fifty (150) armed soldiers on eighteen (18) Land Cruisers arrived at
the village in the afternoon. They were wearing two different kinds of uniform (SAF and
PDF uniforms). The troops were commanded by SAF Officers; Maj. Azmi and Capt. Ali
as well as Al Abbasiya District‟s PDF Commander Yagoub Amein Elbushra. They
parked at the compound of the Paramount Chief Farah Ibrahim Keuair. Maj. Azmi
briefed him that; the government decided to erase the village because “you Tagali tribe
have some young men who joined SPLA-N and you failed to bring them back. Your
village has been used in passing on supplies to the rebels”. When the Chief tried to
respond, some soldiers fired their guns and people around panicked and started to run.
Immediately the soldiers started to set fire on the village. Approximately eighty five (85)
houses were burnt and about 600 people became homeless. Majority fled to Tabassa
village and others continued to Um Rawaba town in North Kordufan State. Three (3)
people were injured and admitted at Al Abbasiya Hospital and discharged after five
weeks. The injured were:
