SOAT Press Release: 28 April 2003
Killings and Mass arrests in Darfour
Sudan Organisation Against Torture (SOAT), had received confirmed reports that several people have been killed, wounded and arbitrarily arrested in connection with an ongoing conflicts between the Four, Zaghawa and Massaleet tribes on one hand and with Arab militia from Darfour region in Sudan.
According to the information received, on April 23, 2003, the Sudanese authority arbitrarily arrested 7 villagers of Mulli, 8 mile south of Al-Jenaina, who belonged to the Massaleet tribe. They were reportedly taken to the security forces office in Nyala, where they still remain in custody. Their names are:
Al Tahir Abd Al Rahman
Mahmoud Abd Al Rahman
Abd Al Majid Abd Allah
Wad Alumda
Abd Al Latif Mohamed Adam
A’abid Aldeen Abd Al Rahman
Mugiba Adam Mousa
There is no information regarding their conditions in detention, however, SOAT has genuine fears concerning their physical and psychological integrity since the pro-government media has accused them of being in support of Sudan Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/M).
According to the information received, 55 people were killed and 53 were
injured as armed militia, from Arab tribes in Darfour province,attacked a traditional Massaleet weekly market place in Mulli village on 27 April 2003; the names of those killed and injured is attached to this press release.
During the attack, market stalls were reportedly burnt and horses and camel were looted, more than 500 donkeys were slaughtered and mutilated.
Uniformed Militiamen reportedly led the Arab militia, riding camel and horses and their number were approximately 150 men, according to the leaders of the Massaleet tribes. The Massaleet leaders claim that 2 days before the attack ,government security forces and police has patrolled the Al-Jenaina area and surrounding villages, confiscating weapons from Massaleet members. This has left the Massaleet members vulnerable to attacks without the means to defend them according to their leaders.
Following this attack, persons from the Massaleet tribe have organised a peaceful demonstration against the government failure to protect them on Thursday 24 April 2003, one day after the attack. The demonstration proceeded to the Al Jenaina town hall (Amanat Alhakoma). However, the demonstrators came under attack by government forces and leading to the killing of one person from the Massalet tribe, named Mohamed Abd Al Karim (m) and injuring many others
The government alleges that the demonstrators had burned down the city town hall (Amanat Alhakoma) and a fuel warehouse. However, the demonstrators claim that they have only reacted after they have found themselves under attack by government forces.
Background information
The situation in the Region of Darfour in Western Sudan, continues to be of great concern. There has been a marked increase in occurrences of arbitrary arrest, detention and of torture or ill-treatment of detainees this year, notably against people belonging to the Four tribe and Zaghawa of Darfour. These arbitrary arrests and detentions have most often occurred in connection with what the Government of Sudan has termed ‘tribal conflict’ between Arab tribes in Darfour and the African tribes of Darfour. This ‘tribal conflict’ has taken the form of attacks by militia from the Gangawied group of 28 Arab tribes, amongst them the Mahariya, the Jalool, Hotiya, Saada and the Iraqat, against villages of the Four, Massaleet and Zaghawa, in which at least 75 people have been killed since May 2002, many more injured, hundreds of houses destroyed and thousands of livestock lost. Large numbers of people have been displaced by these attacks and left without shelter and food in an area where prolonged drought has resulted in consistently high levels of food insecurity. The authorities are aware that these attacks are taking place, but no investigations have been launched and none of the perpetrators pursued, despite the fact that leaders of the Four and Massaleet tribes have identified leaders of the militia attacks to the Government of Sudan. The Four tribe have accused the Government of Sudan of training and supporting militia from the Arab tribes.
The government of Sudan maintains that the conflict in Darfour is primarily a tribal one, centred around competition for land between pastoralists and crop farmers in the area. Whilst this is true to a certain extent, as drought in Darfour has led to severe shortages of pasture land and to conflict over viable land between tribes has occurred, this is not thought likely to be the primary cause of militia attacks on villages of the Four, Massaleet and Zagawa. Leaders of the Four tribe insist that the consistent depopulation of villages by Arab militia attacks and the changes in land ownership which have resulted are part of a government strategy to change the whole demography of the region of Darfour. To date, 59 Four villages in the region have been depopulated in attacks by militia from Arab tribes.
Following the deterioration of the situation in Darfour, a group of armed people from the Four and Zaghawa has formed an armed group. This armed group, which is reported to have grown rapidly in number over recent weeks, has named itself the Sudan Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/M), and has stated that it aims not only at the liberation of Darfour, but of the whole of the Sudan, restoring democracy and civil rights. The leader of this armed group has stated that the formation of an armed militia has been motivated by the increasing desperation of the Four people in the face of worsening human rights abuses including ongoing attacks against their villages and continuing arbitrary arrests of members of the tribe. He said that the formation of the SLA/M was a response to the lack of equality and underdevelopment suffered by the people from the Four and other African tribes, as well as to the government’s failure to protect them from attacks by Arab militias. Large numbers of people belonging to the SLA/M are currently in hiding in the mountains of the Jebel Marra region of Darfour.
SOAT urges the Government of Sudan to do the following:
1) Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of all those arrested and were who mentioned above. Also to investigate the killings of Massaleet tribe members.
2) Order their immediate release in the absence of valid legal charges, or if legitimate charges exist, bring them before an impartial tribunal and guarantee procedural rights at all times.
3) Ensure that all the detainees have access to legal advice
4) Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms throughout Sudan in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards.
The above recommendations should be sent in appeals to the following addresses:
