Bringing the Nation back to Life

How did this start?

The story of how the fighting began in the city of Sudan started between two Arab nomads that were killed near Kreinik, a small town that was home to many ethnic black Massalit communities, home to many different families who had lived in this area for over two decades. Friday morning, Arab fighters had taken place to raid the city, leaving families to be driven out, this left nine people dead and 16 injured. From this day onwards, many other attacks were taken place, and more lives were taken. Attackers arrived at the scenes in 4×4 vehicles, loaded with machine guns that were identified as “technicals” and “motorbikes”, stated by Kreinik Voluntary Youth Groups. “Three people, including two medical workers, were killed. The hospital pharmacy was also looted,” MSF said in a statement.

Why is the RSF so powerful?

The former rebel leader, Minni Minawi, who was the governor of Darfur’s regional government, accused the authorities in Khartoum of not doing much or putting in enough effort to rein in the RSF. Originally a Chadian Arab, who grew up in Dafur, expanded the RSF’s membership, allowing him to include many more fighters to join from across the country. The “Janjaweed” has long been accused of recruiting Arab fighters from Chad and other countries across Africa, encouraging them to bring their families as part of attempts to change political consistency in Dafur. The Janjaweed are known as the military.

Even when at times peace would come and the violence would decrease, looming of a sense of danger would also be shadowing them. Not so much like the regular army, these militiamen rarely responded to any greetings, or if they did, it was always a distance non-committal nod, no smile was reciprocated.

Our Live Introduction, previously recorded before the protesting began.

The live introduction video above shows the Hull community of people from Sudan, who address their community as Bait Al-Sudani gathered together on the day of the protest. A speech was written by the 4 women who stood above, who are heads of the community. The speech goes on by thanking the people for joining them today, and how their presence for protesting in Hull is truly respected and honoured by the people in Sudan. Mentioning that other cities were also contributing to this protest in progress to make the problem aware to socials and others publicly. Although the situation is not so positive, people we advised to stay strong and to always think ahead positively. Prayers were made towards the end of the speech. Speakers Name: Hannan
