30/6/2020: Radio Dabanga - Sit-in for security in Central Darfur continues
Radio Dabanga report on the second day of the sit-in in Nierteti in Central Darfur, where protesters demand security, a halt to the daily attacks on civilians, disarmament of the militias, and arrest and trial of the perpetrators.
The demonstrators call for protection during the agricultural season, demand the dismissal of the executive director and the director of the security committee of Nierteti, the removal of the current security forces, and members of the Military Intelligence and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from the locality.
The Darfur Bar Association (DBA) said the protests are a request to the authorities to accelerate the purging of the official bodies from affiliates of the defunct regime” adding that “failure to do so will deliver wrong messages to the people, that the revolution governments at central and state level are not serious, which undermines the credibility of those in charge of state affairs.”
