Large crowds of protesters surrounded the Blue Nile Government Secretariat’s offices during the recent violent tribal conflict and tension that the Sudanese state had to endure.
Al -Arabiya Al -Hadath’s correspondent also reported that angry protesters set fire to the headquarters, on Sunday afternoon.
While Ahmed Al-Omda, the governor of the region, was called into question, the head of the Civil Society Initiative in the Blue Nile State, Mohamed Al-Tayeb, told the local newspaper Al-Sudani that a group of citizens stormed the fourth division infantry’s Brazin headquarters after giving the military division 48 hours to respond.
Last Friday, the mayor issued a decree imposing a state of emergency throughout the region for 30 days after the renewed violence and tribal clashes that resulted in 220 people.
Additionally, he gave instructions to security personnel to “intervene with all capabilities at their disposal to end tribal conflict and impose the prestige of the state.”
” The decree gave these officials, including police, intelligence leaders and rapid support forces in the region, “the full constitutional and legal powers to take appropriate measures according to the nature of the case. ”
Fath Al-Rahman Bakhit, Director General of the Ministry of Health in the Blue Nile, reported that 220 individuals died in the most recent round of fighting that broke out on Wednesday and Thursday.
Early this month (October 2022) saw a resurgence of warfare in the neighbouring states of Ethiopia and southern Sudan as a result of a land dispute that resulted in brutal clashes between the Hausa tribe from West Africa and the “Berta” people.
