Mohamed Suleiman, a leader of the Darfuri community in the U.S., has been sending reports of violence in Sudan in the aftermath of the JEM attack in Khartoum. This is is his most recent report.

Dear All, -

It seems the regime got unwelcomed feedback from Human rights organizations, so it decided to zero more on Darfuri intellectuals and the educated ( students, lawyers, profesionals ). Inside activists said the Human Rights Watch Organization contacted them and will send a team ( if they get visas). We believe other organizations should follow suit ( Red Cross in particular).

- On 5/15/2008 during the cordon of Libya Market, The Security forces detained Human Rights Lawyer:

Abdul Shakur Hashim Dirar Kaidanah from his office inside Libya Market. Lawyer Abdulshajur is activist in human rights and very instrumental in protecting the rights of Darfuris especially in these days. He declared his volunteering in defending the detained Darfuris in the court of law.
