Last Friday, the government of Sudan replaced the commander and the unit that its men committed rape of 200 women in Tabit on 31 October 2014. Yesterday, the new unit commander summoned all the men in the village above the age of 18 years to the military garrison and ordered them to swear by the Koranic book not report or bear witness in case there is any investigation team arrives in the village. The source also said the new unit commander told the men that his unit will provide them with protection and medical treatment in exchange to report to him if they see any one among the villagers giving or delivering information to anybody about the rape incident. The military unit placed several check-points surrounding the village to prevent any strangers or anybody who has no relatives in Tabit to enter the village. The locals are thoroughly searched prior to go out or enter to their village. The villagers are also requested to take permission to go out of the village and they have to declare where they go and when to return. The Sudan government is now isolated the entire population of Tabit to prevent the rape information to be reported to the outside world. Source on the scene.
