IDPs were displaced from surrounding localities, arriving from Agour, Darei, Sabat, Tunguli, Togor, Nigeir, Alburam, Heiban and Um Dorain amongst others. This has largely been a result of political 5,139 violence emerging between SPLA-N and government forces. Individuals In Dalami, 146 households – comprising 447 individuals – were registered by IOM. Similarly, 216 households and 499 individuals were registered in Kadugli.

In March 2019, an additional 2,581 individuals (605 82% 18% households) were registered in the same camp. Reasons for the displacement were attributed to – as outlined in South Kordofan the initial interagency mission report – the 2018 conflict South Darfur between the SLA/AW and government forces.

Fighting over gold mines in North Darfur’s Jebel Amer area between the Janjaweed Abbala forces and Beni Hussein tribe started early this January and resulted in mass displacement of thousands. AP PHOTO/UNAMID, ALBERT GONZALEZ FARRAN Overview Darfur is burning again, with devastating results for its people. A kaleidoscope of Janjaweed forces are once again torching villages, terrorizing civilians, and systematically clearing prime land and resource-rich areas of their inhabitants. The latest ethnic-cleans- ing campaign has already displaced more than 300,000 Darfuris this year and forced more than 75,000 to seek refuge in neighboring Chad, the largest population displace- ment in recent years.1 An economic agenda is emerging as a major driver for the escalating violence. At the height of the mass atrocities committed from 2003 to 2005, the Sudanese regime’s strategy appeared to be driven primarily by the counterinsurgency objectives and secondarily by the acquisition of salaries and war booty. Undeniably, even at that time, the government could have only secured the loyalty of its proxy Janjaweed militias by allowing them to keep the fertile lands from which they evicted the original inhabitants. Today’s violence is even more visibly fueled by monetary motivations, which include land grabbing; consolidating control of recently discovered gold mines; manipulating reconciliation conferences for increased “blood money”; expanding protection rackets and smuggling networks; demanding ransoms; undertaking bank robberies; and resum- ing the large-scale looting that marked earlier periods of the conflict.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    SUDAN Food Security Outlook Update April 2017 Food security continues to deteriorate in South Kordofan and Jebel Marra KEY MESSAGES By March/April 2017, food insecurity among IDPs and poor residents in Food security outcomes, April to May 2017 SPLM-N areas of South Kordofan and new IDPs in parts of Jabal Mara in Darfur has already deteriorated to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and is likely to deteriorate to Emergency (IPC Phase 4) by May/June through September 2017 due to displacement, restrictions on movement and trade flows, and limited access to normal livelihoods activities. Influxes of South Sudanese refugees into Sudan continued in March and April due to persistent conflict and severe acute food insecurity in South Sudan. As March 31, more than 85,000 South Sudanese refugees have arrived into Sudan since the beginning of 2017, raising total number arrived to nearly 380,000 South Sudanese refugees since the start of the conflict in December 2013. Following above-average 2016/17 harvests, staple food prices either remained stable or started increases between February and March, particularly in some arid areas of Darfur and Red Sea states, and South Source: FEWS NET Kordofan, which was affected by dryness in 2016. Prices remained on Projected food security outcomes, June to September average over 45 percent above their respective recent five-year 2017 average. Terms of trade (ToT) between livestock and staple foods prices have started to be in favor of cereal traders and producers since January 2017. CURRENT SITUATION Staple food prices either remained stable or started earlier than anticipated increases, particularly in the main arid and conflicted affected areas of Darfur, Red Sea and South Kordofan states between February and March.

  • Protection Situation Update Sudan, October 2020 the Overall Security Situation Remained Relatively Stable in the Camps, Return A
    Protection situation update Sudan, October 2020 The overall security situation remained relatively stable in the camps, return and conflict affected areas of Darfur, Kordofan and Kassala states, however, unpredictable with current concerns due to the dynamic security environment. Sporadic violence and clashes in some areas continue to cause human casualties, displacement, damage to houses and belongings of population, thus creating high vulnerability. During October, a total of 27 protection incidents have been recorded including: twelve cases of generalized violence, eleven cases of Armed attack, two cases of abduction and two cases of intercommunal armed conflict. Major concerns include: Central Darfur - In Hamedia, Khamsa Daqeq and Hasahisa camps IDPs expressed their concerns about their physical safety and protection following UNAMID withdrawal. Specifically, they referred to the presence of armed nomads, occupation of their lands in areas of origin and inability of the GoS to protect them as the nomads are not part of the Juba peace agreements and like in the past enjoying impunity. - In Toga and Sabanga areas of Jabal Mara, IDP women are risking their physical wellbeing outside the area of displacement during the farming or firewood collection period due the presence if illegal armed groups and individuals. Additionally, all the IDPS further suffer from movement restrictions caused by the presence of SLA Mubarak Alduk faction. It was further reported by the IDPs that approximately 40 persons were killed in Daya and surrounding villages due to fighting between SLA/AW and SLA/Mubarak Alduk. They also reported 15 rape cases prior to displacement and three more during displacement allegedly committed by SLA/Mubarak Al Duk in the same location.

  • Abyei Jenn Christian and John Prendergast October 11, 2012
    Forgotten Again: How the World Has Failed Abyei Jenn Christian and John Prendergast October 11, 2012 On September 27, 2012, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and South Sudanese President Salva Kiir signed agreements concerning a host of issues resulting from South Sudan’s July 2011 secession. The agreements concern issues of oil and other financial matters, border security, and citizenship. They represent the culmination of a nearly two and half year-long negotiation process and, if implemented, have the potential to further consolidate peace and security within and between the two Sudans. However, the suc- cess of these agreements ultimately hinges on the resolution of the remaining outstand- ing issues on which the two presidents were unable to agree, chief among them the final status of the disputed Abyei area. Straddling the ill-defined international border separating the two Sudans, Abyei is the traditional homeland of the nine Ngok Dinka chiefdoms, a group with strong ethnic, cultural, and linguistic ties with the Dinka of South Sudan. Misseriya herders, members of a northern nomadic Arab tribe, seasonally traverse the Abyei area with their cattle. While Abyei was administratively transferred to the North in 1905, its Ngok Dinka inhabitants sided with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, or SPLM, and its pre- decessor, the Anyanya movement, during Sudan’s successive North-South civil wars.1 Despite Abyei’s central role as a catalyst for North-South tensions, the international com- munity has historically dodged the difficult issue of the area’s final status – or the question of whether the area should be part of Sudan or South Sudan – and, in doing so, has repeat- edly sacrificed the safety, security, and livelihoods of the Ngok Dinka people for the sake of other concerns and interests.
