(29 November 2016) Since 8 November, ten civilians from the Masalit ethnic group have been killed, and 14 injured, following armed attacks on Masalit communities by Rizegat pastoralists in Gereida locality, South Darfur. The armed attacks were instigated over access to land to areas traditionally claimed by the Masalit ethic group.

Following clashes between the two ethnic groups, Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) on 10 November began arresting members of the Masalit ethnic group who had called for peaceful demonstrations to condemn the clashes between the two groups and call for state protection. A series of arrests took place from 10 – 17 November, with eight members of the Masalit ethnic group currently detained incommunicado without charge or access to their families or lawyers by the NISS. Three of the men detained are youth activists who had rejected calls at the burial service of eight members of the Masalit ethnic group killed on 17 November by the Locality Commissioner, Hamid Abdalla, for a ceasefire. The three men demanded that the detained individuals from the Masalit first be released before a ceasefire could be reached, and made public calls for peaceful demonstrations for the group’s release.
