• Mr. Ramadan Abduelrahman • Mr. Omer Musa • Mr. Waheib Abdalla • Mr. Hassabo Mohammed After the news of detainees dying under detention, a group of activists and community leaders intensified their demand for releasing the other detainees and they succeeded. On 11th April 2024, the remaining eleven (11) detainees were unconditionally released by SAF in Kadogli with clear marks of torture on their bodies. On 25th April 2024, Mr. Shaga Tiya died as a result of the torture injuries that were inflicted on him by SAF soldiers while in custody. Others are still in bad health condition like Mr. Ibrahim Edris who is up to date receiving treatment at his home due to torture wounds on his head. Mr. Shams Al-Haq and others are currently suffering from trauma. An activist from Kadogli spoke to the HUDO Centre saying that, “The SAF in South Kordofan State/ Nuba Mountains arrests civilians basing on ethnic grounds. They accuse Nuba ethnic groups of collaborating with the SPLA-N, while the collaboration with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is imposed on the Arab ethnic groups’’. 2.1.5 SAF conducted arrest operations in Tegmala On 28th July 2024 morning hours, armed Sudan Armed Force (SAF) soldiers came on four Landcruiser vehicles to Tegmala village and passed to Tegmala military garrison. In the afternoon of the same day, more SAF soldiers came and raided the houses in the village causing chaos among residents. According to the eye witnesses, they arrested about twentyfive (25) people (the youth) while beating them. Thereafter, the soldiers cut the victims clothes and used them for blindfolding their eyes and tying them. The detainees were driven while guarded to Abu-Jibaiha military garrison. Since then, nobody has been allowed to visit them. This raised fear that they could be undergoing torture. The reason behind the arrest is unknown. On 29th July 2024, the community leaders of Tegmala formed a committee and approached the military commandant in Abu-Jibaiha. But there was no positive response. The following are some of names of the detained people; Abubaker Mohammed Elmahadi, Elamein Adam Elshafee, Hassan Elmakseek, Haraba, Fatehi Tebaiq, Mohammed Eltayeeb Elberjouki, Elneil Musa, Abduelrahman Hamza, Daoud Ahmed Julla and Mahadi Elhadoug. 10
