Satellite Sentinel Project Documents Evidence of Abductions and Killings by Sudan’s Central Reserve Police

WASHINGTON – The Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) has corroborated eyewitness accounts and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) reports alleging that the Government of Sudan’s Central Reserve Police (CRP) unit has engaged in the unlawful abduction, detention, and extra-judicial killing of civilians in South Kordofan, Sudan.
SSP, through the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative’s (HHI) analysis of DigitalGlobe satellite imagery and field reports collected by the Enough Project, has documented that the CRP, also known as “Abu Tira,” reinforced and fortified a police training center alongside the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) compound during the time period that CRP forces were reportedly abducting, detaining, torturing and killing internally displaced persons (IDPs) seeking refuge there. Satellite imagery shows clear evidence of the buildup of fortifications and significant reinforcement of apparent CRP personnel and vehicles between 2 June and 19 August. The UN compound and the CRP compound stand within approximately 100 meters of each other.
“Reliable sources have told us that South Kordofan Governor Ahmed Haroun, an indicted war criminal, built up a goon squad known as Abu Tira, and let them commit abductions and mass murder with impunity,” said Enough Project Executive Director John C. Bradshaw. “Haroun is already notorious from his activities in Darfur and has now been caught promoting the same murderous tactics in South Kordofan.”
The Enough Project is calling on the United States Government to impose sanctions on individuals who command and control Abu Tira by adding their names and any assets that they control to its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. While Governor Haroun is already listed on the SDN list for alleged crimes in Darfur, no one has yet been added to the list for being associated with the CRP or for alleged crimes in South Kordofan.
Eyewitness accounts collected by SSP detail the alleged 6 June abduction of IDPs from the UNMIS compound to an area between the UN compound and the CRP training center, where CRP reportedly killed them. In another incident, a UNHCHR report describes reports of armed CRP personnel, moving in and out of the UNMIS protective perimeter, conducting identity checks on IDPs on 8 June. CRP forces reportedly abducted some IDPs following the identity checks.
In addition, eyewitness reports of the abduction and murder of Numeiri Philip Kalo, a UN independent contractor with Tri-Star Fueling and a Catholic seminarian, were communicated to SSP. One witness reported to SSP that Abu Tira abducted Numeiri, a Nuba man who was an active SPLM supporter, on 8 June from the east UNMIS gate. They reportedly put him in an Abu Tira Land Cruiser, drove around the corner, shot him with automatic weaponry, and dumped his bullet-riddled body from the moving vehicle in front of the CRP compound. Egyptian peacekeepers, among other people, reportedly observed the abduction and murder.
Also, SSP has received a new eyewitness report from 8 June alleging that CRP, Sudan Armed Forces, and PDF militia forces tied civilians to the gates of the Kadugli airport checkpoint, beat them, shot and killed them, and buried them in a mass grave.
“Abu Tira has allegedly committed in South Kordofan what may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity,” stated Harvard Carr Center Executive Director Charlie Clements, MD. “The international community has sanctioned others in the Government of Sudan for similar actions in Darfur.”

In Close Proximity
alleged abduction, detention
and extrajudicial killings

special report
Satellite Sentinel Projectsatsentinel.org
13 october 2011
The Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) has corroborated multiple eyewitness accounts and United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights (UNHCHR) reports alleging that the Government of Sudan’s (GoS) Central Reserve Police (CRP) unit engaged in
the unlawful abduction, detention, and extrajudicial killing of civilians in Kadugli, South Kordofan, Sudan. SSP, through the Harvard
Humanitarian Initiative’s (HHI) analysis of DigitalGlobe satellite imagery and field reports collected by the Enough Project, has documented that the CRP, also known as “Abu Tira,” reinforced and fortified a training center within approximately 100 meters of the UN
Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) compound perimeter as early as 2 June 2011.
Between 2 June and 19 August 2011, CRP significantly built up the fortifications and reinforced the vehicles and personnel present
at that facility during the time period that CRP forces were allegedly abducting, detaining, torturing and killing internally displaced
persons (IDPs) seeking refuge there. CRP in South Kordofan is allegedly under the control of the Governor of South Kordofan, indicted war criminal Ahmed Haroun.
Central Reserve Police
CRP is a branch of the Sudanese National Police Service (NPS) under the Minister of Interior, Engineer Ibrahim Mahmoud Hamid.
According to an August 2011 report by the UNHCHR,
1
the CRP in South Kordofan allegedly committed what may constitute war
crimes and crimes against humanity under international human rights and humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions. In
2003 and 2004, the GoS used the CRP, among other entities, to “mobilize, train and arm” civilians in Darfur as part of GoS operations there.
2
On 12 May 2008, CRP attacked Tawilla in North Darfur, resulting in the displacement of approximately 20,000 people,
with killings, violent assaults and rapes reportedly occurring during the attack.
3
In addition, reports indicate that CRP recruited
child soldiers in Darfur between July 2006 and June 2007,
4
and again during late 2007 and 2008.
5
Furthermore, the CRP has been
previously associated directly with Ahmed Haroun, the current governor of South Kordofan, who was indicted by the International
Criminal Court in 2007 on 22 counts of war crimes and 20 counts of crimes against humanity. In a visit to Al Hamra in June 2011,
Haroun affirmed his control of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and CRP in South Kordofan.

Warning Signs
On 2 June, Sudan People’s Liberation Army-North (SPLA-N) Commander Abdulaziz al-Hilu sent a letter to Brigadier General Jamal
Hamad, commander of UNMIS forces in Kadugli, inquiring about the build-up of the CRP training facility adjacent to the UNMIS
compound. Al-Hilu questioned the legality of their presence in such close proximity to the UNMIS compound, and he also claimed
that the weapons and vehicles used by these forces suggested that they were combat troops (See Appendix 1). DigitalGlobe satellite imagery indicates the ongoing construction of a fortified berm on the northwest corner of the CRP compound on 2 June.
Abductions and Killings
According to multiple sources, fighting in Kadugli started on 5 June. An eyewitness account collected by SSP alleges that IDPs
abducted from the UNMIS compound on 6 June were taken to an area between the CRP training center and the UN compound
and reportedly killed there. Their bodies were dumped in a nearby riverbed, according to the eyewitness. In a similar incident, the
August 2011 UNHCHR report describes armed CRP personnel moving in and out of the UNMIS protective perimeter on 8 June, conducting identity checks among the IDPs there. CRP forces reportedly abducted three IDPs suspected of supporting the SPLM-N.
Also, SSP has received an eyewitness report alleging that CRP, SAF, and PDF forces tied civilians to the gates of the Kadugli airport
checkpoint on 8 June and beat them. Witness reports communicated to SSP claim that those individuals were later shot and killed,
and subsequently buried in a nearby mass grave.

The Murder of Numeiri Philip Kalo
An eyewitness report received directly by SSP contradicts core aspects of the August 2011 UNHCHR report’s account of the 8 June
abduction and murder of a UN individual contractor. SSP has learned that the contractor, Numeiri Philip Kalo, a Nuba man and
known SPLM-N supporter, worked for Tri-Star Fueling and was a Catholic seminarian. SSP has identified discrepancies regarding
this incident between witness reports, the leaked UNHCHR draft and the final version of that report released in August 2011.
Eyewitness reports communicated directly to SSP claim that on 8 June Numeiri Philip Kalo, among others, was pulled out of an UNMIS vehicle directly in front of the east main gate of the UNMIS compound. CRP personnel reportedly put Numeiri Philip Kalo in a
CRP-operated Toyota Land Cruiser. The CRP then took him around the corner of the UNMIS compound, near the CRP training center, and shot him while Egyptian UNMIS peacekeepers looked on. Eyewitness reports communicated to SSP state that Kalo’s body
was riddled with bullet holes when it was dumped out of a moving CRP vehicle on the road in front of the CRP training center. An
individual who spoke to SSP independently identified the CRP training center on a map, and stated that Numeiri Philip Kalo’s body
was reportedly dumped on the side of the road in front of the CRP facility.
However, the August 2011 UNHCHR report states that on “8 June, an UNMIS individual contractor (IC) was pulled out of a vehicle by
SAF in front of the UNMIS Kadugli Sector IV compound in the presence of several witnesses.” The draft report included a notation
that this occurred “while UN Peace keepers could not intervene.” This point was not included in the final report. Both versions of
the report continued with the following language: “He was taken away from the vicinity of the compound and gunshots were heard.
Later he was discovered dead by UNMIS personnel and IDPs. Several sources confirmed that the victim was an active SPLM member.” Neither version of the UNHCHR report mentions CRP personnel or the CRP facility.

As of 17 June, SSP observed at least 250 structures
at these locations, consistent with June UN reports
that approximately 6,000 civilians had gathered
around the UNMIS compound.
The day before, on 16 June, a UN peacekeeping
spokesperson announced that the Kadugli UNMIS
compound would become a safe haven for civilians.
By 16 June, according to a UNHCHR report released
in August and corroborated by independent eyewitness testimony, an UNMIS independent contractor
and multiple persons from the IDP camp had been
abducted and killed within the immediate vicinity of
the UNMIS compound. (See fig 3)

Greetings
Subject: Inquiry
We have witnessed that the Central Reserve Police have established a position in an area nearby your
headquarters with their vehicles and we were curious as to whether this was permitted under the Rules of
the UN and to what was the relation between your forces and theirs knowing that this is an Armed Force
which we can witness by the type of equipment and weapons they utilize. We ask that you clarify this.
Thank you.

The Satellite Sentinel Project – conceived by George Clooney – combines satellite imagery analysis and field reports with Google’s Map Maker technology to deter the resumption of war between North and South Sudan. The
project provides an early warning system to deter mass atrocities by focusing world attention and generating rapid
responses on human rights and human security concerns.
This project is the result of an unprecedented collaboration between Not On Our Watch, the Enough Project,
Google, DigitalGlobe, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, and Trellon, LLC.
The project works like this: Commercial satellites passing over the border of northern and southern Sudan are able
to capture possible threats to civilians, observe the movement of displaced people, detect bombed and razed villages, or note other evidence of pending mass violence.
Google and Trellon design the web platform for the public to easily access the images and reports. Harvard Humanitarian Initiative provides system-wide research and leads the collection, human rights analysis, and corroboration
of on-the-ground reports that contextualizes the satellite imagery. The Enough Project contributes field reports,
provides policy analysis, and, together with Not On Our Watch, and our Sudan Now partners, puts pressure on
policymakers by urging the public to act. DigitalGlobe provides satellite imagery and additional analysis.
The Satellite Sentinel Project marks the first sustained, public effort to systematically monitor and report on potential hotspots and threats to security along a border, in near real-time (within 24-36 hours), with the aim of heading
off humanitarian disaster and human rights crimes before they occur.
Not On Our Watch – co-founded by Don Cheadle, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, David Pressman, and
Jerry Weintraub – has provided seed money to launch the project. To support the Satellite Sentinel Project, donate

بالله شوف ليك زول محترم عشان الناس تصدقك بدلاً عن الساقط جورج كلوني الذي التقطت له صوراً فاضحه بإيطاليا مع إحدى المومسات وبرفقتهم فتاه عاريه عمرها 13 سنه فقط
كما يشتبه في تعاطيه للمخدرات بسبب تورط عشيقته الإيطاليه بجريمة تعاطي المخدرات بأحد النوادي الإيطاليه المشهوره لدى الطبقه المخمليه
جورج كلوني ساقط ويتحدث هكذا عن السودان بتحريض من اللوبي الصهيوني الذي يقود الآله الإعلامية التي تريد ان تشوه وجه السودان لكنهم للأسف إستخدموا ماجن سفيه لايثق به أحد
