Sudanese security forces launch new arrest campaign in Sinja
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese security services conducted a fresh wave of arrests on Sunday, targeting politicians and activists in Sinja, the capital of Sennar State.

The move comes amid tensions between Sudan’s military and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on one side and civilian forces calling for an end to the ongoing conflict. These civilian groups have been actively documenting alleged human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
violations, putting pressure for a peaceful resolution.

A member of the Sinja Resistance® Committees informed Sudan Tribune that the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) and the General Intelligence Service (GIS) arrested prominent Communist Party member Seif al-Dawla Jadid and Sinja emergency room volunteer Mohammed al-Hadi, known as "Hatab."

Significantly, both Jadid and Hatab were released only a month ago after spending over three months in detention. Their rearrests highlight the ongoing crackdown.

The source further reported that the security forces also detained Mohammed al-Wathiq Mohammed Abdallah, an employee at Sinnar University’s Faculty of Education, along with the brother of journalist Ali al-Arsh (apparently mistaking him), and the father and brother of two other activists.

This follows a wider arrest campaign by Military Intelligence across Sennar State in recent weeks, targeting members of political parties, resistance committees, and even humanitarian aid workers in cities like Dinder, Abu Hajjar, and Sinja.

The source revealed that security forces raided over 25 homes during the latest operation, with fears of an intensification in the coming hours due to the heavy deployment of security personnel. This extensive deployment has also hampered efforts to monitor detainees’ whereabouts.
