Central Darfur

Zalingei and its camps for displaced people in Central Darfur, Garsila, Mukjar, Bindisi, Um Dukhun and West Jaghma witnessed demonstrations, marches and sit-ins in front of the army garrisons demanding the handover of power to a civilian government,  bringing the leaders of the former regime, the groups of corruption and perpetrators of war crimes and genocide in Darfur to trial,  responding to all the demands of the Sudanese people as stipulated in the declaration of Declaration of Freedom and Change, the professionals association and the statements at the national and state level.

The protesters in Mukjar, who have been a sit-in in front of the military garrison since Sunday, renamed the square located west of the police station into Liberty Square and so did the protesters of Bindisi.

The displaced people in the camps of Central Darfur, Khamsa Dagayeg, Hamidiya, Zalingei, Bindisi and Garsila took part in the march of the millions of civil authorities called for by the Sudanese Professionals Association and the other forces of Declaration of Freedom and Change on Thursday.

The march of the displaced people demanded toppling the government of El Burhan, handing of power to a civilian government with the competencies and honesty, this along with the arrest and bringing to justice of all figures of the deposed regime in the centre and the state.

The displaced people demanded the trial and prosecution of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court so as not to repeat such crimes in the history of Sudan, in addition to the expulsion of new settlers from traditionally owned lands of the displaced (hawakeer), handover of hawakeer to their original owners, as well as the disarming of the various militiamen in the region, including the Rapid Support Forces, the Popular Defence Force, the Popular police and all the battalions of the ousted regime.

The displaced people also called for the immediate release of all detainees and prisoners of war from the sons and daughters of Sudan, while continuing the sit-ins and not leaving the squares unless all our demands are met so that the blood of the martyrs would not be shed in vain.

West Darfur

Hundreds of protesters are still crowding outside the army headquarters in Foro Baranga in West Darfur for the third consecutive day.

The crowds blocked the army command from each side amid chants of handing over power to civilians.

They called for trial of the regime, its figures and the perpetrators of crimes and genocide and the dissolution of the National Congress and the militias of the regime in various names.
