A joint security force has reportedly been terrorising displaced people living in the southern outskirts of the Sudanese capital in the past weeks.
In a press statement on Saturday, the Sudanese Congress Party (SCP) strongly criticised the recent ”ethnically-based attacks” by a joint force against residents of Angola neighbourhood in Mayo in southern Khartoum “under the pretext of combating crime”.
Authorities detained three members of Sudan’s Empowerment Removal Committee (ERC), following a breach of trust reported against them by the Ministry of Finance. The ERC leader, Wajdi Saleh, an outspoken voice and supporter of the dismantlement of the ousted Al Bashir regime, was detained alongside former Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Khaled Omar Yousef. Also, among the detained was the Secretary General of the ERC, Tayeb Othman Yousef.
