The Sudan Liberation Movement, led by Abdel Wahed Mohamed Nour, called on the international community to intervene to protect civilians as a result of the armed attack they are being subjected to in Krink locality in West Darfur state.
The movement condemned what it described as heinous crimes against defenseless civilians there, while holding the Sudanese government at all levels accountable for the events.
The bloody civil clashes picked up in the locality of Krink during the past two days, and resulted in the killing of 22 people and the wounding of 27, in addition to the burning of many houses.
The town of Krink is 70 km east of El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur State.
The spokesperson for the SLM, Muhammad Abdul Rahman al-Nayer, called on the international community to carry out its humanitarian and moral duty towards defenseless civilians.
This is in view of the actions and practices of the “government militias” that amount to war crimes and ethnic cleansing, according to a statement issued on Sunday.
In his statement, the movement’s spokesperson considered that what is currently happening in Krink represents the same scorched-earth policies and demographic change pursued by the deposed regime.
He also accused those “militias” of attacking the camp for the displaced there, killing and wounding dozens, burning the entire market area and displacing hundreds of families.
Following the development of events, the joint and security forces moved in large numbers to calm the situation and contain the bloody events.
Meanwhile, the Governor of West Darfur, Khamis Abdullah Abkar, held an emergency meeting with the Security Committee to prevent the clashes from recurring again.
The governor of the Darfur region, Minni Arko Minawi, announced that he was going to the region on an urgent visit due to the escalating conflicts.
Minawi, via his Twitter account, said that “we have arrived before the city of Nyala (the center of South Darfur state), where we hope to draw up a road map to solve the problem of tribal conflict and consolidate a culture of peace.”
