Executive summary
This report covers some incidents that occurred between January and June 2022 in
South Kordufan (SK) and Blue Nile (BN) States (government controlled territories) and
among IDPs from these two states. The aim of this report is to bring to light those
human rights violations and abuses.
The human rights situation in the entire Sudan is generally bad and declining further.
Violations in the two areas (SK &BN) continued like before with particular increase in
cases of armed robbery and tribal conflicts. This led to an increase in the number of
death and injuries. All these violations happened with limited or no intervention from the
authorities.
The information/ data included in this report was gathered by trained human rights
monitors, reviewed and compiled by an experienced reporting panel. Due to many
challenges, this report includes incidents that HUDO Centre managed to compile and
report about, considering that many other incidents occurred without notice or reach.
The violations and abuses included in this report are; Arbitrary arrests, whereby around
thirty civilians were arbitrarily detained, Unlawful killings, whereby more than forty
people were shot dead among them females and underage. Within this period, there
were many incidences of armed robberies especially in Kadogli area and eastern region
of SK. This was attributed to the presence of very many armed militias like the RSF,
PDF and others. There were other kinds of violations that were mainly committed by
government’s security agencies and militias. On a regular basis, police deliberately
refused to respond or failed to carry out investigations of cases that were brought before
them.
In recommendation, this report calls upon Sudan government to respect the citizens’
rights, the international human rights laws, uphold the rule of law, dissolve and disarm
the militias. The report also urges the international community to observe the human
rights situation in the two areas of Sudan and to stand with the victims for reparation.
