The Sudanese young revolutionist, secondary school student Mohamed Youssif, was like many across the country who were angry at the 3 June massacre at the army headquarters in Khartoum.

A new report released today by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) sheds more light on the 3 June attack in Sudan, implicating the Rapid Support Force militia and other security forces in a planned attack that affected far larger numbers than previous assessments.

On 3 June, security forces under the direction of the Transitional Military Council surrounded Sudan’s main protest site around the army headquarters in Khartoum and proceeded to attack the demonstrators in one of the most violent raids recorded. Based on eyewitness accounts and crowdsourcing research, the targeting of the protestors was designed to clear the protest site and to quell any further civic action.

The atmosphere remains tense. On 20 January, rumours emerged that a mass demonstration would take place to protest the local government’s handling of the situation. Security forces were deployed across the region, even armoured vehicles and tanks were seen on the roads and outside government institutions, eyewitnesses said, but no demonstration occurred. Authorities relieved the former West Darfur Governor, Major-General Abdel Khaleq Badawi of his position whom they accused of complicity in the attack, with his successor, Major-General Rabie Abdullah Abduallah. But this has done little to restore confidence amongst the IDPs. The newly appointed governor attempted to pay condolences to some of the displaced at one of the temporary shelters –but the IDPs attempted to attack the government delegation after seeing the RSF leader Col. Musa Hamid accompany the state actors, news reports said.

When you enter El Geneina Secondary School for Girls on a school day you will see anything but students. The normally lively school in West Darfur, Sudan, has a more sombre air these days. Cooking pots pour smoke into the windows, salvaged livestock pick at shreds of grass around the compound and fa...

“All people came from different villages, sometimes spending three days walking on foot so that they could see the man from the World Food Programme [WFP],” said Eman Bolis Abdullah, a war-weary resident of the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan State in reference to the UN agency’s historic visit to the area in October. “We hope WFP can support us, especially women, we are under-developed, having lost our dads, husbands, [it’s] a very tough life. We want to live like other people in Sudan.”

After an eight-year ban by the former government, humanitarian agencies are now openly accessing the rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) controlled areas under SPLM-N Chairman Abdelaziz Al-Hilu. On 31 December, six UN agencies arrived in the rebel-held capital Kauda, South Kord...

Amina Koko sits a little easier on the sturdy-but-rusty coffee tin that she uses daily as a stool, serving traditional Sudanese tea to the public in southern Khartoum. Koko can now carry out her business in relative peace. Late last month, Sudan’s new government repealed the infamous Public Order Law that largely targeted poor women as a state profit-making scheme rather than upholds morality as its proponents claimed. “They took my tea equipment during one of their raids, property I could not buy back easily,” Koko told Ayin. Police on orders from the Public Order Courts raided Koko’s small tea making area five times, she said, making it nearly impossible to eke out a living.

The repeal of the Public Order Law is certainly a positive step, several women’s rights activists told Ayin, but it is only a baby step. According to the same sources, a whole litany of legislation curbing women’s rights in Sudan remains on the books.

Prime Minister Hamdok returned from a trip to the United States this week in a diplomatic bid to urge the country to lift Sudan from the U.S. State Sponsor of Terrorism (SST) list. While the eventual removal from this list is vital for the country’s economic recovery, both official and unofficial U.S. requirements to remove Sudan from SST may be difficult to meet.

The transitional government that emerged after the revolution that toppled former dictator Omar al-Bashir in April had high hopes the U.S. would immediately remove them from the terrorism listing and restrictions related to the restive Darfur region. But so far, the SST list remains in place, hamper...
