From his side, the king of Gureida Mohammed Adam Elmalik, to which the village belonged, condemned the resolution to place Sadoon under government control. As he warns of the potential new conflicts that might arise in the area, he calls on the concerned sides to nullify the decision.
On the other hand, one of the assistant leaders of the Falata tribe expressed his relief about the decision, saying it would end the ongoing conflicts in the area. He furthermore denied the existence of any link between the resolution and the Falata’s support of the governor during the previous elections.
