10/3/2021: Radio Dabanga – Protest against RSF presence in South Darfur

Radio Dabanga report that citizens of Gireida, South Darfur, organised a sit-in and several marches, demanding the implementation of 16 demands, including the removal of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from the area and the dismissal of the South Darfur governor Mousa Mahdi.

The protesters demanded that the state authorities end the systematic killings, the repeated attacks, and ethnic discrimination in South Darfur. They want the state authorities to prosecute criminals, form an international investigation committee into the recent violence, compensate those affected by recent arson attacks, recover looted property, enforce the rule of law, and provide shelter material for the newly displaced.

The protesters stressed that displaced people must be enabled to return to their villages and engage in agricultural, pastoral and commercial activities.
