SRF asks Hillary Clinton to condemn Nyala’s violence
Estimates of the number killed in last Tuesday’s demonstrations in Nyala, South Darfur remain unclear. The Ministry of Interior says that eight people were killed and 24 policemen were injured. Three of them are in critical condition. The governor of South Darfur, Hamad Ismail, says that six civilians were killed and 23 people were injured, 20 policemen and three civilians. Yesterday, in a press statement, the Ministry of Interior said that protesters target police stations and government institutions. The governor of South Darfur declared in a press conference that an investigation committee is being formed to assess the events. He also said that security authorities treated the protesters responsibly and according to the law. The police commissioner of South Darfur, General Taha Jalal, stated that the demonstrations are initiated by delinquents. He added that detainees are arrested by the police while they are trying to rob shops. A source from the Legislative Assembly of the state of South Darfur told Radio Dabanga they will conduct a closed-door meeting on Thursday with the state governor and the security committee to discuss the Nyala events. At Nyala Hospital, doctors denounce being threatened and terrorized by security authorities while treating victims of the protests. Security authorities arrested some patients and abducted others from inside the hospital. In addition, they confiscated doctors’ mobile phones to avoid them from taking pictures of the injured and dead. Eye witnesses informed Radio Dabanga that the police and security authorities managed to contain a small demonstration in a Nyala market. They added that there is a large deployment of police and security forces in Nyala’s main streets, at petrol stations, banks, around government institutions and in living areas. Sources said that 50% of the market is open and that 20% of the traffic is working, adding that the situation is somewhat calm. The Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) condemned the killings and the violence against the innocent in Nyala. The SRF called for the international community to open an investigation into the events and to protect the civilians. They also asked US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to condemn the attacks. Clinto visits South Sudan shortly and the SRF asks her to send Khartoum a strong message to stop killing innocents and release the detainees. The SRF says that this revolution will not stop until the people overthrow the regime and a democratic state is established. The Darfur Bar Association and the The Sudanese Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms demanded that the violence against civilians stops immediately. They asked that perpetrators are taken to court and that an investigation committee is formed, calling the current regime autocratic.
