Rhino: Agencies – The center of the Kanabi Congress in Sudan accused the Popular Resistance, the Mustafarin and the Sudan Shield Forces led by Abu Aqla Kikel of killing 70 agricultural workers in East Gezira and the localities of Al-Kamilin and Al-Manakil in Gezira.
Jaafar Mohamedin, secretary general of the Kanabi Congress, revealed to Radio Dabanga that 25 young men were killed in Kambo five north of Umm al-Qura for ethnic motives by the mobilizers and members of the Popular Resistance.
He pointed to the killing of 42 Kanabi people in Manaqil, and noted that three people were killed in Kambo Seven in Al Hadi in Manaqil locality on December 4. He pointed to the arrest of 93 Kanabi residents in Umm al-Qura locality during the past period. The number of agricultural villages (Kanabi) in Gezira State is estimated at more than (2150). Since the defection of Abu Aqla Kikel, the commander of the RSF in Gezira, military confrontations have escalated and widespread violations against civilians have increased.
Meanwhile, a civilian from Kanabi in Al-Huda area in Al-Kamilin locality said that members of the Popular Resistance confiscated his Starlink satellite internet device for ethnic reasons. In large parts of Sudan, citizens are using Starlink devices to access the internet in light of the outage of telecommunications and internet networks. Radio Dabanga was unable to obtain immediate comment from the Armed Forces spokesperson.
Jaafar Mohamedin denies that the Kanabi people joined the RSF, pointing out that limited elements joined the RSF, just like the rest of the island’s components. In an interview with Radio Dabanga, Jaafar Mohammedin, Secretary General of the Kanabi Congress, condemned the violations against agricultural workers, whether through direct attacks or speeches of racial incitement, and considered these practices a moral and legal crime that threatens the unity of the social fabric in the central region in particular and Sudan in general.
He called for an urgent and comprehensive investigation of all crimes committed against the Kanabi people, referring to what happened in the Umm al-Qura locality in East Gezira in Kambo Five, which claimed the lives of more than 25 young people from Kambo Five, known as the village of Taiba, north of Umm al-Qura city, and demanded that the perpetrators and instigators be held accountable and stop hate speech.
