On April 2004 about 152 families came back to cultivate after having signed a kind of agreement with Arab/Nomads. During 2005 only other 6 families joined them. Tandosa A is a government model village, there is a police station with 5 to 10 policemen and the governement has recently rehabilitated the school. The security situation seems still not very good because Africans have to pay money to be able to move around freely. In Tandosa A an Arab/Nomad check-point is present. Near Tandosa (north east) there are several destroyed villages still empty: Dasa, Denger, Bendata, Babanosa. Intersos started since October 2005 some CBRPs. On the 7th of March about 304 families of Chadian refugees arrived in Tandosa A - mainly Dajo tribe - from Farsay, Didima, Hila Jedid, Ambeché, Murray, Awen Rado and Mindù; all these villages are along the respective Chadian border where in March fightings between Chadian rebels and Chadian Army occurred. UNHCR is assessing the situation and some ditributions in favor of these refugees will take place soon. At the same time about 46 families of returnees arrived from Tandosa B where some robberies occured related to the fighting in Chad and they moved to Tandosa A for security reasons.Sectoral issues.

On June 2005 other families arrived to cultivate and also they seem to be genuine. The accessibility during the rainy season, from Tandusa A, is very difficult and for this reason some families before the crisis decided to move to Tandusa A where more services were available (PHC + school). On November 2005 we reported 46 families of which are genuine returnees (Dajo 29, Mararit 13, Singar 2, Musalit 2). Beginning of March 2006 some Chadian refugees started arriving in Tandosa B but after a few days due to some attacks which occurred in Tandusa B the majority of the families moved to Tandosa A, for the time being, and now - mid March - Tandosa B is empty.

During the crisis, on September 2003, the village has been destroyed and all the people fled to Habila, Forobaranga, Gobe and Goz-Amir. After the crisis the government chose Sala as a model village and helped people to go back and on April 2004 about 54 families - Tama and Gimier tribe - started moving there from the nearby Azum area but are not original inhabitants of Sala. On April 2005 106 Arab families arrived in Sala having lived before in Dirijel damra near Sala that could be considered as squatters, probably trying to receive aid from the international community. The other Africans are still staying in Goz-Amir, Habila and Gobe and they consider the village as occupied. Sectoral issues. Health: MSF is present twice a week with a mobile clinic. Education: before the crisis there was a primary school but now it is not running and children are not attending lessons. Water: 3 traditional wells, one working; SC-US has installed 1 hand pump.

Garsila before the crisis was the main town for the whole Wadi Salih locality. In Garsila there were about 6000 families belonging mainly to the Fur, Dajo, Tama and Gimier African tribes but also to some Arab tribes like Salamat, Tahalba and Razigat. In Garsila there was a governmental hospital, primary and secondary schools and a big market. During the crisis, since 2003, people fled from dozens of destroyed/abandoned villages around Garsila, also form Deleji area and sometimes even from Bindisi and Um- Kher Aus, and arrived in Garsila as IDPs. Among the areas most affected we can just report the cluster of villages completely destroyed surrounding Arwalla and Nankusee east of Garsila (all together almost 30 villages) where inhabitants present now in the Garsila IDP camps are still too afraid to start thinking to move back there, an area empty where just Nomads are moving around. On August 2005 Intersos registered in the IDP camps about 10.569 families. Nevertheless during the rainy season 2005 there was reported some substantial movements of returnees to many abandoned villages around Garsila (like Kolnge, Mindu, Naisa, Seghei, Amar Jadid, Nyango) but sometimes also to destroyed villages where the government tried to support returns rehabilitating some facilities (see Rosunga, but this is not the case of Arwalla and Nankusee still empty in spite of the effort made by the government to bring back returnees in that area). Many of these returnees seem to be now (end of December 2005) genuine and willing to remain after the harvest despite regular visits to Garsila to attend WFP distributions. The humanitarian situation in Garsila can be defined quite good with several NGOs working in the IDP camps but also in the villages where there are Returns occurring. According to the IDP leaders the major issue is still the lack of sufficient water points in Jedda camp also due to a presence of soil contaminated by an excess of florite (2 boreholes were never opened for this reason); water is provided thanks to a bladder filled by NCA that seems to not be sufficient. Nevertheless the situation in the camps seem to be generally good with essential facilities like latrines, classrooms, health services, water points, NFIs regularly provided to the IDPs that in the meantime often succeed also in building proper huts replacing their previous emergency shelter. So far as security is concerned, IDPs reported during the rainy season several cases of crop destructions and on November 2005 some armed groups moving inside the camp at night without any plausible reason. Sectoral issues. Health: in town there is a governmental hospital supported by MSF Holland while in the IDP camp there is a PHC present which moved from a temporary structure to a permanent building in March 2006, run by NCA ACT/Caritas. Education: there are several primary schools (7) with about 103 classrooms; Intersos implemented a UNICEF project building several classrooms for the IDP community run by voluntary teachers; two secondary schools are also present in town. Water: 26 hand pumps and 10 traditional wells are operational in Garsila realized by UNICEF, NCA ACT/Caritas (18 boreholes, 5 in the town and 13 in the camp and 6 motorised bladder systems), Tearfund and Intersos. Latrines: Intersos and Tearfund built in 2005 a sufficient number of latrines but in 2006 some maintenance will be required. NFIs: have been regularly provided to the IDPs by Intersos until October when its camp management ended; NCA ACT/Caritas distributed soap in November and December 2005 and provided a full NFI package in February 2006 to both IDP and host community. Food security: Tearfund implemented several food security projects for IDPs and returnees in some surrounding villages. Hygiene promotion: a campaign funded by the Italian Cooperation was implemented by Intersos in 2005 while now Tearfund is dealing with this issue with hygiene promotion campaign where the target is women and children. NCA ACT/Caritas also have hygiene promotion activities in the IDP Camp. Community services: women/youth centers are present in the camps run by Intersos; a children’s club is run by Tearfund. NCA ACT/Caritas runs a 4% psychosocial centre and trains women in the construction and use of fuel efficient stoves.

Juguma Algarbia
Juguma Algarbiya is a small town inhabited, before the conflict, by 675 hhs of different African tribes (Fur, Masalit, Tama, Maseriya Jabal, Gimir). During the crisis, thanks also to a strong presence of the Army (65 soldiers), the village was not destoyed and only a minority (270) fled from Juguma Algarbiya to Bindisi and to Chad (Goz Beida, Kedeit). At the same time Juguma witnessed the arrival of many IDPs from the surrounding villages, sometimes just in transit to reach camps in Chad but sometimes also to stay and settle there. They received very little aid by the international community and during the rainy season 2005 some of them moved back to their village of origin to cultivate (to Samukidik, Saka, Borobor Kajakssa); on Nomveber 2005 we reported still present in Juguma Algarbiya about 350 families of IDPs. Actually the village is composed of a total population of 785 families, among them 52 families of returnees that can be considered genuine. The security situation is stable but women are still afraid of moving freely outside the village; relations with local Nomads seem to be quite good with Nomads coming weekly to the market in Juguma. On March 2006 about 37 families of refugee returnees came back from the Chadian border - Saraf Burgo - because of the withdrawal of the Chadian Army from the area after a security incident occured during the market day when a Chadian soldier was killed; 20 families are in transit to Samukidik, Borbor, Tiwil and Monono.

NFIs: a small distribution of blankets and plastic sheet has been implemented by Intersos for the vulnerable population. Hygiene promotion: latrines are still missing. NCA ACT/Caritas plans to construct latrines with community involvement. Hygiene Promotion volunteers have been trained and water and sanitation committess established. Food: WFP registered these people for food distrubutions during the rainy season 2005; the distributions were held in Bindisi with many problems related to the distance (50km far) and after 3 months - on November 2005 - WFP took back the cards saying that after the harvest the support was not necessary anymore.

Since April 2005, some IDPs started to go back to Ostany from Mukjar and Kubum encouraged by the GoS. Indeed Ostany is a model village. Returnees are said to receive from the GoS some carpets for the sheiks and a grinding machine and they are waiting for more promised support by the GoS. On May 2005 the security situation in Ostany was not good. The village was divided in two parts, one for African tribes and the other one for the Arabs. A mosque and a school were built on the Arab side. The market as well was near the Arab side. The number of Arabs was increasing every day with cases of labor mistreatment in regard to the African tribes. On November 2005 we reported still present in Ostany about 42 families of IDP returnees out of which 17 in transit to Sandol, Lolla and Dambrang; they seem genuine. There are now present about 12 Fursan and the security seems slightly improved.

Dambar
Dambar was a village settled by both Africans and Arabs. During the crisis, on March 2003, Africans fled to Chad, Rehad Al Birdi, Um- Dukhun and Mukjar and many other Arabs started living in Dambar. On February-March 2005 some IDP returnees, coming mainly from Rehad Al Birdi (where since the displacement they couldn’t receive any support), started living again in Dambar. These returns were precisely supported by the government providing transportation, some money and food. At the beginning this support was accepted, also to have a small income, only by heads of family with the aim to verify the security situation and the possibility to remain and cultivate during the rainy season. Having verified that the security situation was good and having received again from Arabs Nomads some land to cultivate, the returnees increased gradually and on November 2005 we reported present in Dambar 270 famiies of returnees, about 205 hhs Fur tribe (30 in transit), 40 hhs of Dajo tribe and about 25 Musalit in transit to Taba and Sersira (two destroyed villages not too far). At the same time the Arabs, newly settled during the crisis in Dambar, (in which we can consider them as squatters), moved outside Dambar to a close damra and now only the native ones are present in Dambar; relations between Arabs and Africans are good. Dambar is among the "model villages". To assure security the government deployed about 80 policemen. The health facility and the school have been rehabilitated by the government but only the school is working. Sectoral issues. Health: a PHC has been rehabilitated on May 2005 by the Gov. but is still not working, nearest PHC in Farkang (20km). Education: a primary school was rehabilitated by the Gov. and is regularly running with 4 classrooms (2 built by bricks and 2 by trad. materials). Water: only shallow wells. Food: people are registered for WFP distribution in Um-Dukhun (70km) but the distance is a a reason for security concern. NFIs: plastic sheets and blankets for returnees have been distributed on July 2005 by Intersos.

Kabar
Kabar was a big village with about 2300 hhs settled. The tribes in the village were mainly Musalit, Fur and Tama. On 18/8/2003 the Fur people fled mainly to Chad (Goz Beida refugee camp) and Um-Dukhun while for the other tribes we don’t have much information but for sure some of them moved to the surrounding villages of Kabar from the same ethnic group (like Adila, Magula and Tiratira). Between August 2003 and March 2005, some Nomads settled around the destroyed village and started to cultivate Kabar's land. Since March 2005 some returnees started coming back mainly from Um-Dukhun, Adila (Tama tribe) but also from the Chadian border and Goz-Amir with the aim to cultivate the land and to remain permanently there. Kabar is a "model village" and also the government supported these returns from Um-Dukhun providing transportation, food and sometimes money or some plastic sheets. A government reference for these returns had been appointed and also the deputy commissioner of Um-Dukhun followed these returns on a regular basis. In the beginning the security situation for returnees was not very good and sheiks were thinking to go back to Um-Dukhun if nothing would soon be changed. The police station was really small (only 5 policemen). Nevertheless day by day the security situation improved due in part to the arrival of some more policemen. For this reason they decided to remain in any case and also whole families joined the first returnees. Up to now about 140 families arrived in Kabar mainly from Tama and Fur tribes. A higher number of policemen or army, with more means, could improve the situation. On June 2005 Intersos implemented a distribution of blankets and plastic sheets while after the rainy season, on October 2005, Intersos and Triangle decided to start some CBRPs. Regarding the presence of Nomads, after the rainy season, 3 Nomad representatives were reported to have started living inside the village and probably this was due to a GoS purpose to facilitate relations and cohabitation among Africans and Arabs that are still living (except for these 3 hhs) outside Kabar. One of them is claiming to be the security leader, an Aghid more or less like in Toya and Fogora. On January 2006 a security incident happened in Kabar between two Arab groups because of a theft; 4 people were reported killed: 2 policemen, the robber and the victim of the theft. The two parts agreed for a compensation and the dispute has been solved. Sectoral issues. Health: before the conflict there was a small PHC that now needs to be rehabilitated, nearest now in Um- Dukhun (50km). Education: before the conflict there was a primary school and now Intersos is supporting the community in its rehabilitation.; lessons are regularly running. In the PTA the surrounding Nomads are also involved . Water: ICRC or Triangle should dig here a new well and rehabilitate an existing traditional well. Sanitation: Triangle should provide 120 HHs latrines. Community services: Intersos is supporting the community in creating women/youth centers and children clubs. NFIs: Intersos distributed blankets, plastic sheets, hygiene kits, kitchen sets, mosquito nets and soap. Hygiene promotion: Intersos started a campaign since October 2005. Market day: Monday.

Kamgar was a village inhabitated by Masalit tribe. During the crisis the majority of the population fled to the Chadian border, to Goz-Amir and Goz-Beida and to Um-Dukhun. On November 2005 we reported the presence in Kamgar of about 215 families of refugee returnees coming mainly from the Chadian border and 55 families of IDP returnees coming from Um-Dukhun; among them about 85 families are in transit to Taham and Gantor. On 2004 some IDPs (about 35 families) arrived in Kamgar from Marary, Taham and Gantor as well. All the IDPs and refugees in transit from Gantor are moving seasonally to their village of origin to cultivate and they used to come back after the harvest. On March 2005 we reported about 15 new families of refugee returnees from Tajo. The security situation in the village is good, there are 25 army forces; the people claimed some constraints in cultivating far away from the village and for this reason the harvest 2005 was reported insufficient. Sectoral issues. Health: nearest PHC is in Um-Dhukum, 12Km. Education: before the crisis there was a primary school with 2 classes that is running thanks to a voluntary teacher.

Magan used to be settled by Africans like Fur, Tama, Musalit, Dajo. During the crisis the village has been destroyed and the people fled. We found IDPs from Magan in Muraya (97), Sufalawin, Tiratira, Um-Dukhun and along the Chadian border in Um-Zili. On 2004 Nomads (about 35 families) cultivated the land and settled in the village using old huts and building new ones. In June 2005 some IDPs from Magan coming from Um-Dukhun started to visit the village during the market day (in a village close to it) to verify the opportunity to go back for cultivating or not during the rainy season. At the beginning of July it was reported that a lorry transporting 25 families of returnees from Um-Dukhun to Magan to cultivate have been involved in an incident along the road where 4 returnees of Fur tribe have been killed and other 3 injured (it was not clear if it was an ambush or not); all the other returnees moved back to Um-Dukhun. Magan should be a government model village but no rehabilitation has taken place in the village. On November 2005 we found in Magan about 10 families of IDP returnees (9 Fur, 1 Tama) arrived on September 2005 from Um-Dukhun. They reported that with their arrival some Nomads moved away and now there are about 13 families of squatters (Bani-Hallba and Salamat tribe) still there. These returnees seem to be now genuine.

Magula is a village inhabited by Musalit african tribe. During the crisis most of people fled to Um Dhukum, Chadian border and Goz Amir in Chad. On August 2003 some IDPs from Kabar, Morlanga, Ardiba and Dumbda (destroyed villages near Magula) went there. The security situation is insecure because the nearest police station is in Um Dhukum (36Km). Before the rainy season 2005 we reported that all their animal were taken during the crisis by the Nomads and the people were facing many troubles. They couldn't move freely outside the village, in the evening sometimes Nomads were coming around the village intimidating them. Because of their remoteness Intersos, on October 2005, suggested to the GoS, through UNHCR, the establishment of a police station for this cluster of African villages but nothing happened. Recently, on January 2006, UNHCR Mukjar reported the arrival in town of some families from Magula claiming other cases of indiscriminate beatings and killings, this details still need to be confirmed.

The majority of these returnees seem to be genuine but after the harvest, on January 2005, some families went back to Um-Dukhun to spend the dry season.

On 2003, during the peak of the crisis, 90% of the population fled mainly to Um-Dukhun, Kamgar and to Haraza (Chad) while at the same time 30 families of IDPs arrived from Magan. On June 2005 some returnees came back to cultivate during the rainy season from Um-Dukhun and Kamgar (10hhs) and from Haraza (5hhs) but they are still there, so we can consider them like genuine returnees. The security situation is insecure because the nearest police station is in Um Dhukum (39 Km), a police station should be provided for the cluster of African villages of Sufalawin, Muraya, Magula and Tiratira. Sectoral Issues. Health: nearest PHC is in Um Dhukum (39km). Education: nearest primary school in Sure (8km), but children are probably not attending lessons. Water: only shallow wells. Food: the majority of the people are not registered for WFP distributions. Market day: Friday.

Um-Dukhun
Before the conflict Um-Dukhun was a semi town with the following main tribes: Musalit, Fur, Borgo, Kajaksa, Salamat, Meseriya, Bani-Hallba and Hiamat. During the crisis, also because of its location near the Chadian border and along the main road to reach refugee camps in Chad, many IDPs started arriving in town. IDPs/returnees: altogether are now settled more than 5.300 families of IDPs coming from the majority of the villages destroyed, abandoned or semi abandoned in the Um-Dukhun administrative unit (Motur, Magan, Temboly, Hashaba, Ardiba, Dabkaria, Daba, Um Furut, Marary, Gerlia, Abugaradil, Kabar, Dambar, Shengel Tobaya, Geneina, Hagar Sultan, Kamgar, Muradaf, Farkang, Gawakhin, Sufalawin and Taham) but also from Bindisi town and from the Rehad Al Birdi surrounding villages in South Darfur. Among these IDPs there are also about 250 families of returnees from Chadian border and mainly in transit (235) and if the security situation will remain stable they will soon reach their villages of origin to cultivate during the rainy season 2006 (we reported returnees present from Magan, Gawakin, Um-Furut, Tambely). Security situation: in town there is a police station with about 25 police forces and 150 army forces. The security situation seems to be stable but nevertheless several security incidents against IDPs have been reported and that they are not able to move freely outside the camp and in particular women are suffering for this situation of insecurity when they are going outside collecting firewood. Sectoral issues. Health: thanks to the presence of MSF Holland with a hospital a sufficient level of health services is assured. Education: there are 4 primary schools with about 20 classrooms that are not enough to provide education to the children of the IDPs. Water: MSF and Oxfam worked in town establishing new water points; now there are 19 hand pumps and 5 traditional wells. Latrines: Oxfam did many latrines for IDPs. NFIs: Oxfam made several distributions; Intersos distributed plastic sheets and blankets for vulnerable community members on June 2005. Food: people are registered for WFP distributions. Food security: no distribution of seeds and tools has been held for the rainy season 2005. Protection: at the moment no social activities for women and youth are implemented in favour of IDPs.

story Sudan: Five Killed in Bomb Attack On Civilians in Darfur
UN Integrated Regional Information Networks January 3, 2007
Five people have been killed in a bombing raid on civilians in the western Sudanese Darfur region, according to the African Union mission in Sudan.
Saturday's attack on villages near Kutum in North Darfur, was carried out by a government Antonov plane, according to the AU force commander, Luke Aprezi. The raid came two days after the AU mission and the United Nations mission held meetings with rebel commanders in the area.
The attack followed an incident on 25 December when armed militia in about 30 vehicles looted Kineen village (8 km Northeast of Kutum), stealing livestock, the AU mission said. The bush land surrounding the village was reportedly set on fire while women were sexually harassed.
Similar attacks had occured on 23 December on Tim village, in which 18 people were reportedly killed and eight others kidnapped.

The latest fighting in southern Darfur involved the Habania nomads and Falata ethnic African farmers, Justice Minister Mohammed Ali Al Mardhi told the independent Al-Rai al-Amm daily newspaper. He said over 200 people were killed over the past week, mainly among nomads, and that the government had sent reconciliation missions to end the fighting.
Eyewitnesses who spoke on condition anonymity for fear of reprisals said the clashes began a week ago in a zone south of Nyala when Habania nomads killed nine Falata tribesmen whom they accused of having stolen cows. The fighting worsened, eyewitnesses said, when Habania wearing outfits similar to those of the janjaweed militia attacked a Falata settlement, allegedly sustaining heavy casualties. Sudan Tribune
