The 20th Anniversary of Al-De'in Massacre (Re: JOK BIONG)
|
Quote: Two lecturers from the University of Khartoum, Dr Ushari Mahmoud and Dr Suleiman Baldo, learning of the massacre and the civilian government's attempts to cover it up, set out to investigate. They concluded that the various official accounts were contradictory, and the claims of "provocation" that were offered were too flimsy to explain the scale of the killings. Awkward questions arose about how much the massacre was planned or anticipated by government officials, and the disappearance of individuals such as the local Christian priest. |
Thank you Jok Biong for this important document. I hope that Dr. Baldo could shed more light on his excellent documentation, along with his colleague Dr. Ushari, in the wake of the 20th anniversary of this tragedy. I witnessed Dr. Baldo's suffering from the Inqaz because of his work on this. He was dragged a lot to the HQ of the Security during the the first 5 years of the Inqaz. I will forward him this post hoping that he could add more on this topic. Dr. Baldo has been doing similar investigation projects in many other African countries in his capacity as a prominent human rights reseracher with number of US-based orgs.
