Rhino: Follow-up – The Central Committee of Al-Kanabi Conference condemned what it described as the use of excessive force and the targeting of residents of the Azraq-Tayba area in Al-Jazirah State, South Al-Jazirah Local Area, Barakat Unit, and denounced what it described as the ongoing series of attacks against residents based on ethnicity and skin color, as well as the serious violations they face that infringe upon their fundamental rights and human dignity.

In a statement issued today, the Central Committee added: “The events and targeting of citizens witnessed in the Azraq Tayba area are extremely serious, raise grave concerns regarding the safety and security of civilians and their property, and reflect a worrying escalation in discriminatory practices attributed to the de facto authorities led by Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.”

The statement emphasized that the use of excessive force against civilians and targeting them based on their ethnic identity or skin color are practices that warrant investigation and legal accountability. It called for an immediate halt to the violations and for ensuring the protection of the population and the safeguarding of their human and legal rights.

The Kanabi Conference Central Committee emphasized that the solution does not lie in the use of force, the demolition of homes, the displacement of citizens, or their killing and forced displacement, but rather in providing adequate and safe housing, achieving justice and equality, and guaranteeing the fundamental rights of all citizens without discrimination based on race, color, or origin.

The statement continued: “The human right to life, security, adequate housing, and a life of dignity are fundamental rights guaranteed by international conventions and laws, and they must not be violated or infringed upon under any pretext.”
