28/12/2020: Radio Dabanga - Protests against violence in Darfur

 Radio Dabanga report that The Peace Support Committees Coordination organised a protest vigil in Khartoum against the ongoing violence in Darfur.

Representatives of the group submitted a memorandum about recent human rights violations in Darfur to Mohamed al-Taayshi, the member of the Sovereign Council tasked with the coordination of the peace process. They referred to the recent killing of civilians across Darfur, and the targeting of farmers and displaced by militants.

The memo called on the transitional government “to take immediate action to maintain security in Darfur, protect citizens and property, arrest those involved in crimes and bring them to a fair trial”.

The Peace Support Coordination holds the transitional government responsible for the continued violence, and demand “the acceleration of the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement, especially the security arrangements protocol, including the establishment of a disarmament mechanism”.
