Sudan: Unidentified arsonists raze the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Madani, Aj Jazirah State

ACCORDING to this very sad report, unidentified arsonists razed the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Madani, Aj Jazirah State, Sudan. The fire, based on the information gathered, was deliberate and aimed to destroy the Christian community’s religious facilities and obliterate the church’s history, which spans over a century. The flames consumed the main library, housing historical documents, and ravaged the grand hall. Has Hemeti lost control of his RSF Janjaweed militia? Why are IGAD and the African Union allowing Sudan and her people and history to be destroyed?

Unidentified arsonists raze Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Madani

Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Medani

January 12, 2024 (WAD MADANI) – The main headquarters of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Medani, the capital of Al Jazirah State, was intentionally set ablaze, causing extensive damage to the building and destroying official documents.

Church leaders have held the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) morally and legally responsible for the incident, citing their control over the city.

Rev. Youssif Matar, Secretary-General of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, told Sudan Tribune, “We were informed that parties deliberately burned the church located in the first section neighbourhood in the middle of Wad Madani, causing severe damage.”

Matar explained that the fire, based on the information gathered, was deliberate and aimed to destroy the Christian community’s religious facilities and obliterate the church’s history, which spans over a century. The flames consumed the main library, housing historical documents, and ravaged the grand hall.

He did not rule out the possibility that this incident was an attempt to sow seeds of religious hatred and incite sectarian strife.

While Pastor Matar refrained from directly implicating the RSF in the incident, he expressed concern that “Islamic extremists or extremists within the Rapid Support Forces may be behind the incident.”

He emphasized the RSF’s “moral and criminal responsibility for the incident” owing to their absolute control over the area, stating that no unauthorized party could have entered the church headquarters without their knowledge.

On May 14, 2023, gunmen wearing RSF uniforms attacked the Mar Girgis (St. George) Church in Khartoum, one of the oldest Coptic churches in Sudan. They threatened the workers to reveal the whereabouts of money and gold, shot three individuals, and beat the bishop’s assistant with sticks, causing fractures.

The RSF has maintained control of Al-Jazirah State, with its capital Wad Madani, since December 18, 2023, following the sudden withdrawal of the army from its positions.

This takeover has been accompanied by widespread abuses affecting thousands of civilians, including killings, arrests, forced displacement, the looting of private vehicles, and the plundering of government institutions. (ST)

Sudan: Qatar Charity provides new food aid to war-affected families in Northern, Kassala, Red Sea states

Article at Gulf Times

Qatar Charity provides new food aid to war-affected families in Sudan

With funding from the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar's ambassador to Sudan Mohamed bin Ibrahim al-Sada, Sudan Humanitarian Aid Commission's (HAC) federal commissioner Dr Salah al-Mubarak and officials from the Qatari embassy in Port Sudan, launched new shipments of food aid to the states of Kassala, Northern, and Red Sea.

This is part of a project aimed at providing 50,000 food packages to families affected by the war and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan, a Qatar Charity (QC) statement said Sunday.

Ambassador al-Sada emphasised Qatar's continuation of humanitarian efforts aimed at assisting the Sudanese people affected by the war. He lauded the relief interventions by QFFD and QC since beginning of the conflict and stated that Qatar's support for the people in Sudan will continue in the next phase as it is a core humanitarian duty.

Dr al-Mubarak expressed the Sudanese government's appreciation for the continuous response from Qatar, as well as from the QFFD and QC, to help those affected by the war in various states of Sudan. He stated that their recent intervention by providing 8,000 food packages for the IDPs and affected individuals is of great importance, especially after the displacement due to the recent developments in Wad Madani city and the increasing need for food assistance for the affected families.

The shipments of essential food items, inaugurated in the presence of ambassador al-Sada, were directed to the affected, the IDPs, and the most vulnerable groups in the new states. A total of 4,000 food packages were allocated for the Northern State, and 2,000 each for the Kassala State and the Red Sea State. Each food package contains 40kg of essential food items, sufficient for a family of six for a month.

The total beneficiaries of the food aid shipments for the affected families in Kassala, Northern, and Red Sea states are 48,000, while the overall number of beneficiaries from the 50,000 food package provision project, funded by QFFD and implemented by QC for the benefit of the affected families in Sudan, is 300,000. DOHA

Sudan: SAF airstrikes on Khartoum & Madani kill 11+

From Radio Dabanga
Dated Sun, 07 Jan 2024; 12:24 Khartoum /Wad Madani - full copy:

At least 11 dead as airstrikes on Sudan capital and Wad Madani continue

The Sudanese air force continue to attack sites of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum and Wad Madani in the past few days. Various neighbourhoods of greater Khartoum were hit by barrel bombs targeting RSF sites yesterday. In Wad Madani, capital of El Gezira, at least 11 people were killed as a result of aerial bombardments on Friday.

Several areas of Khartoum state witnessed intense air strikes yesterday. “Warplanes and drones flew over Khartoum, in particular in the eastern and southern parts of the city, dropping a number of barrel bombs,” residents reported.

The RSF used “ground missiles and mortars” in the vicinity of the General Command of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in the centre of the city, and the Signal Corps in Khartoum North, they said.

The neighbourhoods of old Omdurman witnessed an exchange of artillery shelling by both sides on Friday. The clashes continued until Saturday morning.

‘Intermittently’

The resistance committees of Wad Madani, reported yesterday that at least 11 people, including six minors, were killed by bombs in the El Dabbagha neighbourhood on Friday.

“It is difficult in reaching the location of the casualties due to the complex security situation in El Dabbagha, El Riyadh, El Gadisiya, and the Hantoub neighbourhoods,” they stated.

The air force intermittently bombed the capital of El Gezira and its surrounding areas since the RSF took control of the city on December 18.

Since the war between the RSF and SAF broke out on April 15 last year, more than 12,000 people have been killed, and approximately 7.2 million people were displaced from their homes, half of whom are children, since making it the largest displacement crisis globally.

Sudan: Displacement crisis in Sudan deepens

If the fighting further escalates and spreads to Sudan's White Nile State it could significantly impact the work of UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations that provide critical assistance to over 437,000 South Sudanese refugees and some 433,000 internally displaced Sudanese there.

Briefing notes 
Dated 19 December 2023 - here is a copy in full:

Displacement crisis in Sudan deepens as fighting spread

This is a summary of what was said by Wiliam Spindler – to whom quoted text may be attributed – at today's press briefing at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is concerned at the deepening forced displacement crisis in Sudan and neighbouring countries as hundreds of thousands more people flee from the latest fighting in Sudan’s central Al Jazirah State, southeast of the capital, Khartoum.

We are also very concerned about reports of an escalation in the conflict in the Darfur Region. On 16 December, renewed fighting in El Fasher, in North Darfur, resulted in civilian casualties, injuries, and further displacement, followed by looting of homes and shops, and arrests of youth. In Nyala, in South Darfur, an aerial attack was reported, causing death, injuries and destruction of civilian homes.

Heavy fighting, including airstrikes and shootings, was reported on the outskirts of Wad Madani, the capital of the Al Jazirah State, on Friday, 15 December. The fighting has now reached the town. After conflict first broke out in Sudan’s capital in April this year, over half a million people, including some 7,000 refugees, fled to Wad Madani from Khartoum. 

With this latest bout of fighting, panic has reportedly spread among the civilian population in Wad Madani and people were seen leaving the town in vehicles and on foot, some for the second time in only a few months. According to IOM, between 250,000 and 300,000 people have fled Wad Madani and surrounding areas since the clashes began.  

UNHCR is working to deliver and distribute urgently needed core relief items to the people newly displaced from Al Jazirah to Sennar and Gedaref States. Despite efforts by national and international humanitarian organizations and local actors to provide assistance, the overall humanitarian situation remains dire.

Since the war broke out in April, more than 7 million people have fled their homes in Sudan, many of them moving repeatedly to find temporary safety. This repeated displacement shows how devastating this conflict has been for the civilian population.

We are very worried that if the fighting further escalates and spreads to White Nile State, it could significantly impact the work of UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations that provide critical assistance to over 437,000 South Sudanese refugees and some 433,000 internally displaced Sudanese there. Since the onset of the conflict in April, UNHCR has provided emergency shelter to approximately 42,000 families and core relief items to nearly 12,000 vulnerable families in White Nile State and, in collaboration with UN and NGO partners, has taken measures to mitigate the high risk of a cholera outbreak in displacement sites. However, a spread of the fighting or any new influx could disrupt health and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) services, resulting in severe consequences.

There are also reports of people on the move towards South Sudan, where the border town of Renk is severely overcrowded and lacking enough aid to meet the needs of the people who have already arrived. 

Heavy rains have made the roads impassable, hampering the relocation of refugees. UNHCR and partners are doing what they can to prepare, but resources were already severely overstretched.

We continue to strongly appeal to all parties to end the conflict, to respect the safety of civilians in accordance with international law, and to allow humanitarian access so that critical lifesaving aid and services can reach those in need.

As the scale of the crisis and the potential for it to destabilize the entire region continues to grow, the world must not forget the ongoing situation in Sudan.

We appreciate the funding received already from many donors, but it is just not enough to meet the needs of the families that are facing unimaginable hardship.

The 2023 Sudan Regional Refugee Response Plan, which called for $1 billion to meet the needs of 1.8 million people in Chad, Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan this year, is only 38 per cent funded.

Sudan Situation Overview OCHA 28 Dec 2023: Clashes in Wad Medani between SAF and RSF

From UN OCHA SUDAN

Flash Update No: 05

Dated Thursday, 28 December 2023 - here is a copy in full:

Clashes in Wad Medani between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF)

SITUATION OVERVIEW

More than 250,000 – 300,000 people have fled Aj Jazirah State following the clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) around Wad Madani, the capital of Aj Jazirah State, according to the International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). Fighting broke out in the morning of 15 December between the SAF and the RSF in the outskirts of Wad Medani, 136 km southeast of the national capital Khartoum. On December 18, RSF reportedly entered Wad Medani town and by December 19 took control of the city.

There are reports of displaced people from Wad Medani and other parts of Aj Jazirah State arriving in Gedaref, Kassala, Red Sea, Sennar and White Nile states. Mobile network and internet connectivity challenges in parts of Aj Jazirah, White Nile and other adjacent areas are making it difficult for partners to collate information on the latest numbers of people displaced and their immediate needs. The number of displaced people by destination and hosting location will be available once the numbers are registered and verified.

Many IDPs reportedly arrived at the existing IDP gathering sites (collective centers) in and around Gedaref and Sennar. The majority sought shelter within the host communities, and local authorities and partners in Gedaref estimate that about 15,000 people have sought shelter with the host communities in Gedaref town, the capital of Gedaref State.

In Red Sea State, the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) has reported that on 25 September an estimated 3,000 IDPs from Wad Medani arrived in Port Sudan, and another 980 on 26 December, with more IDPs expected in the coming days. The Red Sea State Committee on displacement and relief issues identified nine new sites at Al Souk al Shabi – mainly schools - to receive the newly displaced people. HAC reported an urgent need for shelter, food and non-food supplies for the newly arriving IDPs. Some of the new IDPs are living with host communities in the city.

Humanitarian response
Host communities in the localities receiving IDPs from Wad Medani are responding to meet the basic needs of the arriving IDPs. Site Management Cluster partners are closely coordinating with local authorities in Gedaref, where authorities have activated a daily emergency cell meeting to monitor the situation and ensure preparedness for increased arrivals to the town centre. Humanitarian partners in Gedaref have come forward with responses across WASH, Health, Protection and Food assistance to the IDPs once the relocation site is finalised and the IDPs start arriving on site. An inter-sectoral rapid needs assessment (ISRNA) is proposed in Gedaref among the communities displaced from Aj Jazirah. The local authorities are supporting the ISRNA, which would help the humanitarian actors to mobilise resources for the response. ISRNA will commence once the list of IDP gathering sites has been finalised by the authorities in Gedaref.

In Kassala, about 3,000 new IDPs from Aj Jazirah’s Medani Al Kubra locality, Hantoub administrative unit received high energy biscuits and Ready-to-use Supplementary Food (RUSF) for pregnant and lactating women and children from WFP as the initial food support for 4-5 days, with more comprehensive food and livelihoods assistance to come as the needs assessments are finalised and the numbers of the displaced people become available.

In Red Sea State, the Port Sudan Youth Initiative started providing ready meals with limited resources. The Red Sea Gathering Site Coordination Meeting on 27 December agreed to field an inter-agency assessment mission in the coming days to two IDP hosting locations in Port Sudan - Abdalla Nagi and Salalab Al Garbia.

In Sennar, HAC reported that about 1,770 displaced households arrived at various locations in Sennar and Sinja localities since the fighting started in Wad Medani. Humanitarian partners continue providing support to newly arrived IDPs from Aj Jazirah and also those from Khartoum.

The State Council for Child Welfare, in collaboration and with support from UNICEF, continues the registration of separated and unaccompanied children to provide services for them in all localities of Sennar State.

Child Development Foundation (CDF) and Save the Children (SCI) opened 10 child friendly spaces through the Council for Child Welfare in Sennar and Sinja localities with support from the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) and UNICEF. UNICEF, through the Council of Child Welfare, provided clothes and personal aids to children living with disabilities.

With support from UNICEF, the Council of Child Welfare activated 10 community-based protection networks (CBPNs) in Sennar and Sinja localities to provide protection services to children in need and refer cases for protection support. CDF established a CBPN targeting 60 people in the Suki locality. Also, the Council formulated a Women and Children Protection Network Group to trace and follow up on the issues of children's and mothers' protection.

Earlier this week, IMC provided medical supplies for two months to five primary healthcare centers (three in Suki and two in Sinja localities), in addition to the ongoing mobile clinic in Karkoug, Sinja locality, serving IDPs from Khartoum and Aj Jazirah. IMC provided more than 1,300 medical consultations to the IDPs. It has also provided nutrition services to the IDPs through outpatient therapeutic programs (OTP) at five primary healthcare centres (PHCs). IMC distributed hygiene cholera kits to 880 IDPs in three IDP gathering sides in the Sennar locality. IMC continues to support the State Ministry of Health (SMoH) Rapid Response Team (RRT) staffing and logistical support for the RRT.

CDF conducted training sessions on gender-based violence (GBV) and psychosocial support for 30 people in Sinja and Suki localities and GBV prevention awareness raising sessions for 30 people in the Sinja locality. It also established a community compliant feedback mechanism in Sennar locality.

Relief International (RI) will deploy shortly two mobile clinics to support IDPs from Aj Jazirah. A RI team from Blue Nile plans to visit Sennar state with one ambulance and medical supplies for the mobile clinics on 28 December.

In Blue Nile, HAC reported that about 500 IDPs arrived in Ed Damazine and more displaced people may arrive in the coming days. About 460 people are sheltering at two schools in Ed Damazine town - 243 people at Nahda school and 216 IDPs at Arkaweet school. Human Appeal and other organizations have provided some assistance to the displaced people, including food for IDPs at Nahda school. 

Background
After years of protracted crisis, Sudan plunged into a conflict of alarming scale when fighting between SAF and RSF broke out initially in Khartoum on April 15, and quickly expanded to other areas across the country. Khartoum has been the site of heavy fighting, while severe violent clashes and heavy bombardments have also been reported in the greater Darfur and Kordofan regions. The hostilities have resulted in extensive damage to critical infrastructure and facilities, including water and healthcare, the collapse of banking and financial services, frequent interruptions to electricity supply and telecommunication services and widespread looting. Since the conflict broke out, humanitarian needs have increased and almost 25 million people now require assistance in Sudan. More than 6.8 million people have been forced to leave their homes for safety elsewhere.

An estimated 5.9 million people live in Aj Jazirah State, Sudan’s breadbasket, with 700,000 living in Wad Medani. More than 270,000 people in the town need humanitarian assistance. Since April 15, 2023, nearly 500,000 people have fled to Al Jazirah State, 86,400 of whom are in Wad Medani. About 1.9 million people are in crisis (IPC 3) and have above-level food security in the state, with 179,000 in Medani between October 2023 and February 2024, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). There is an ongoing cholera outbreak in Aj Jazirah and neighboring states. 57 humanitarian organizations work in the state, including 25 INGOs, 21 NNGOs and six UN agencies. So far this year humanitarian organizations have reached 730,000 people in Aj Jazirah with food assistance, WASH, health and other humanitarian interventions.

UNICEF Sudan: 253 babies and children have been safely evacuated from transit centres in Wad Madani

NOTE from Sudan Watch Editor: This is an incredible story of humans pulling together to help evacuate 253 babies and children from transit centres in Wad Madani, Sudan to a safer location. The mission must have involved many people and fraught calls to complete the evacuation. Sadly, not all 200 of the babies and children originally from Mygoma Orphanage in Khartoum have been evacuated from Wad Madani. Let's hope that UN Sudan and UNICEF Sudan can provide updates on this heart rending story.

Press Release from United Nations Sudan
Dated Wednesday, 27 December 2023  - here is a copy in full:

UNICEF: Hundreds of vulnerable children evacuated for second time as Sudan war continues to put millions of children at risk

27 December 2023

PORT SUDAN/NEW YORK – 253 babies and children have been safely evacuated from transit centres in Wad Madani, Sudan to a safer location in the country, after fighting in Al Jazirah state erupted this month. For many of the children, this is the second time they have been evacuated after they were evacuated from Mygoma orphanages in Khartoum earlier in the year following the outbreak of the war in April.

“The recent escalation of the conflict in Sudan, and the fact that these children needed to move from areas that were previously considered safer, is a cruel reminder of the continuing toll the war is taking on children,” said UNICEF’s Representative in Sudan, Mandeep O’Brien. “Thankfully, a coordinated effort has ensured these children are once again out of the line of fire. The safe passage was made possible by the cooperation and facilitation of both parties to the conflict and the support of key partners. However, as long as fighting continues, no child in Sudan will be truly safe.”

The children who were evacuated from Khartoum to Wad Madani in June continue to be under the care and protection of the Ministry of Social Development. The evacuation effort, led by the Ministry, and supported by UNICEF and partners, took place over 2 days.

UNICEF and partners continue to support the Ministry’s efforts to provide the children with medical care, food and nutrition, psychosocial stimulation, play and educational activities, and supporting carers for the children, and is working with the relevant authorities and partners to identify foster families for the children.  

Across Sudan, over 14 million children are in urgent need of lifesaving humanitarian support, the highest number ever recorded in the country. The war in Sudan has resulted in the largest child displacement crisis in the World. Close to 3.5 million children have been forced to flee their homes as a result of the fighting. The impact of escalating violence - more than half of states in Sudan, 10 out of 18, are now experiencing active conflict - continues to threaten the lives and futures of families and children, leaving basic health and nutrition, education, water, sanitation and hygiene, and protection services cut off with frontline workers going without pay and many facilities closed, damaged, or destroyed.

UNICEF continues to call for an immediate ceasefire across Sudan, and reiterates its call for all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian and human rights law – including ensuring that children are protected – and that rapid, safe, unimpeded humanitarian access to children and families in affected areas is facilitated. Without such access, critical lifesaving humanitarian support will be out of reach for millions of vulnerable children.
