from surrounding Al-Abassiya whom seek refuge in Al-Abassiya while the Amir was
doing his best with the community in serving them.
Others said that; the reason was the newly discovered gold in Jogana area (7 km SW
Al-Abbasiya) in which the Amir rejected the SAF from doing gold mining there.
In line with the same act of dismissing community leaders by the state governor, a similar
dismissal has happened in South Kordufan and South Darfur state (appendix: 4) by its governor
for 69 community leaders. The governor accused them of associating with the Rapid Support
Force (RSF). All these act came to power under the obligation given to the state governors by
the federal governance minister (appendix – 5).

2.1.8 SAF conducts arrest operations in Blue Nile
SAF intensified its operations of arresting activists, politicians and the youth in Blue Nile
state most especially after the war started between Sudan Armed Force (SAF) and Rapid
Support Force (RSF) on 15th April 2023. Arrests dramatically increased after RSF invaded
Medani town on 15th December 2023. SAF arrests and detains people in poor conditions.
During interrogation of the victims, SAF accuses them of either being affiliated or supporting
RSF and in some cases they accuse them for communicating to their relatives or friends who
joined RSF. They detain people in large numbers in unventilated rooms with limited food and
water. They also detain them without legal charges. They only rely on the emergency order.
The number of detained people is unknown however, HUDO Centre managed to confirm
some names as indicated below;
1) Mohammed Ahmed Rahama, manager of Abu-Naama Company
2) Elfadil Mohammed Elsadiq (resident of Ganees Sharq/ East.
3) Kaba, driver and resident of Elseraio
4) Mohammed Manzoul
5) Ayman, resident of Ganees Sharq/ East
6) Salim, resident of Elshorouq.
7) Abubaker, resident of Ganees Sharq/ East
8) Abaker, resident of Alazaza
Many other people were arrested and imprisoned for months without appearing before court,
only under emergency state orders. Usually, the number of detained people is not known, till
a pardon is issued then numbers are disclosed partially (appendix - 6). This process was
earlier challenged by lawyers however the authorities ignored the rule of law.
