HUDO Centre Date: 20th June 2021 No. H.K/UA/10/021 URGENT APPEAL UPDATE OF DEATHS AND CAUSALITIES OVER TRIBAL FIGHTS IN KOLOGI, SUDAN On 17th June 2021, the conflict spread out from Kologi to the gold mines. PDF and RSF soldiers looted the gold mines markets and robbed traveling trucks/ vehicles. People in these areas are on tension because there is no government intervention. On 17th June 2021, about two hundred (200) armed people dressed in Popular Defense Force (PDF) and Rapid Support Force (RSF) uniforms invaded markets at Bajoun and Gardood Toro gold mines. They came on Land-cruiser vehicles and motorbikes (some vehicles with RSF number plates), looted the shops goods (loaded them on vehicles) and other valuable items including money and smart phones from civilians. The invaders also obstructed the road at Gardood Toro and looted goods from some trucks that were traveling from Abu-Jibaiha to Aleri. Eyewitnesses informed HUDO Centre that, they believe those are the same Dar Ali/ Hawazma members who had invaded Kologi town and they recognized some of them (the invaders) who had joined the group from Abu-Kershola, Umbrembeta, Elfaid Um-Abdalla and Elbugolti. An activist from Talodi commented that; these incidents started in Kologi and now due to lack of government intervention, it has spread to affect other two localities. Further delays may result in more chaos. HUDO Centre is very concerned about the situation of civilians in conflict areas and calls upon:  Sudan government to urgently solve the tribal conflict and the insecurity situation in Kologi.  Sudan government to ensure the rule of law, safety of people and their properties.  Sudan government to hold to account the security committee in South Kordufan State.  Sudan government to dissolve the government militias and disarm people with unlicensed firearms.
