Executive summary
This report covers some incidents that occurred between January and June 2020 in the
government controlled territories of South Kordufan and Blue Nile States and among
IDPs from the two states. In Khartoum state, the violations reduced significantly but in
conflict areas of SK and BN, violations went on with limited or no intervention from the
state or central government (authorities).
The aim of this report is to bring to light the human rights violations and abuses in SK
and BN states of Sudan (government territory) and the situation of Internally Displaced
Persons (IDPs) from the two states.
The information included in this report is a result of prepared instruments/tools which
were used by trained field monitors in gathering the data. Data from the field monitors
was reviewed and compiled by the competent reporting panel. Due to many challenges,
this report does not take account of all incidents that occurred during this period.
The violations and abuses included in this report are; arbitrary arrests, unlawful killings
(more than thirty civilians were shot dead) and other violations which were mainly
carried out by RSF/PDF against civilians in the two conflict areas. On regular incidents,
police deliberately refused or failed to carry out investigations of cases brought before
them. The report also includes court observation notes for specific trials with human
rights aspect.
In recommendation, this report calls upon Sudan government to respect its obligations
towards the citizens and the international human rights laws. The report also urges the
international community to stand with the victims in reparation for their rights.
