Sudanese Organization: Documenting the disappearance of 2000 people in Sudan since the start of the war – the seventh day

The Sudanese group of victims of disappearance confirmed the rise in disappearances in Sudan, to about 2000 people, nearly two years since the outbreak of the war, and indicated that the disappearance rates may increase in various parts of Sudan with the continuation of the war.

Othman Al -Basri, a member of the group, pointed out that there are major challenges in the documentation operations, most notably the interruption of communication networks and means of transportation, which led to the isolation of many areas, in addition to the difficulty of accessing them and the interruption of electricity in most parts of the country.

He explained that the expansion of the dispute increased the complexity of monitoring operations, as the people are busy with the displacement, and they are afraid to report cases of disappearances in order to preserve the rest of their family members, in addition to some families receiving ransom threats and requests in exchange for the release of their missing children, according to the Sudan Tribune newspaper.

He added that the group faces special difficulties in documenting in a number of states, most notably Khartoum (localities, Omdurman, and Mount Awlia), White Nile, Darfur, Kordofan, Al -Jazeera, and Sennar.

Sudanese media revealed that the states controlled by the Rapid Support Forces are witnessing widespread violations against defenseless civilians, including killing, arrest, rape, kidnapping, and enforced disappearance.

During a previous report last April, the group reported that the number of missing persons reached 1140, including 998 men, 27 minor children (20 boys and 7 girls), in addition to 116 girls, and 11 people with mental disorders.
