Sudan kills seven IDPs in Darfur camp
Sunday 29 November 2009 04:10.
November 28, 2009 (PARIS) — Seven Internally Displaced Persons
(IDPs) were killed Friday in West Darfur following a wrangle
between the residents and government troops which
attempted to force them to take part in voter registration.
The IDPs ask the government to disarm militia and to bring
to justice responsible of atrocities committed in the
restive region as well as to conclude a peace deal with
the rebel groups before organize elections in the country.
However, the local authorities in Darfur launched a
voter registration process in the three states
of the province in a bid to count IDPs that
the UN estimates their number to be 2.7 million.
Many of them resisted the Sudan fifth population and
housing census conducted in April year. The total
number of Darfur three states is estimated at
7 501 012 according to the figures published by the
Sudanese authorities.
The Sudanese regular forces and militia in West Darfur
state on Friday evening — at 05:00pm – killed seven
people in Deleij IDPs camp, some 280 klm from
El Geneina the capital of West Darfur state. The incident
took place after attempts by local officials to persuade
the residents of the camp to register in electoral lists.
In a discussion with the officials who were accompanied
by regular forces from the army and police besides
Janjaweed militiamen the residents
reiterated their rejection to the electoral operation.
"They had a hot discussion with the officials after
declaring their support to (the rebel leader) Abdel
Wahid Al-Nur, then the regular forces and the militia
started shooting on the innocent civilians," said Hussein
Abu Sharati the spokesperson of Darfur IDPs and refugees.
He further said the peacekeepers in the area were present
but did not intervene to prevent the killing.
Speaking on Saturday afternoon, the IDPs spokesperson
added the regular forces had been withdrawn after the killing.
Abu Sharati also stressed that what was happened in Deleij
could be repeated in two other camps in North Darfur.
According the spokesperson, the Sudanese authorities
already visited Al-Maliha and Kassap camps today
and threatened to arrest tomorrow those who
refuse the voter registration operation.
"Today they already arrested seven local leaders
(Mashaikh) from Kassap camp," he further said.
Sudan launched a one month voter registration operation
inside and outside the country, ahead of general election
scheduled to be held next April. The process is
extended for one week during the next month.
