The tragedy of #Sudanese & sub-Saharan #African #migrants in #Morocco #Spain border, hasn’t had much coverage- as far as I can tell.

It was well documented by the AMDH -Nador:
m.facebook.com/AmdhNador/

This🧵 is dedicated to the dead, missing & survivors!

#Sudan
#KeepEyesOnSudan
I’ll start with @pavan_777 excellent report:
“At least 37 deaths were confirmed by the NGO Walking Borders, while Moroccan authorities claimed that 23 died in a “stampede”

#Morocco has been so eager to please the EU at any price.

Association Marocaine des Droit Humaines - Section Nador - has been following up on the victims.
Information & photos are published regularly on their Facebook page:
facebook.com/AmdhNador/
I’ll compile a list to raise awareness & maybe help identify someone.
#Sudan #SudanCoup
The #Sudanese embassy in Rabat has been silent. AMDH-Nador confirmed that the embassy never checked on the victims to help identify the dead, locate the missing or release the detainees.
Scandalous but unsurprising of an inept regime.

Seriously, I tried to find out anything about #Sudan diplomatic mission to #Morocco, but I couldn’t even find the ambassador’s name.

I’d like to shame them publicly for not doing their basic job.

Who is the ambassador? He should resign.

#Sudan #SudanCoup
#KeepEyesOnSudan
In June 20th AMDHS- Nador reported that the #Sudanese embassy didn’t even answered the police calls regarding the detainees who survived the massacre.
The embassy number 0537752863

ADMH-Nador & others are providing lawyers for the detainees.

The massacre is a stark reminder of the dirty role the EU played in Africa to stop what they called illegal migration. They worked with Bashir regime & funded the RSF to prevent migrants from crossing to Libya then to Europe.
Denial didn’t work

I digress

Trigger warning ⚠️

The Moroccan & Spanish police didn’t just shoot them, according to AMDH-Nador, they beat up wounded migrants, didn’t provide any medical treatment & banned reporters from entering the crime scene.

#KeepEyesOnSudan
The AMDH-Nador referred to “EU money” several times as culprit
What does the #EU has to say about that?

The authorities went ahead & buried the murder victims in Sidi Salem cemetery without identification/autopsy.

Talk about coverups!

Actually to the #Moroccan #HumanRights org. AMDH-Nador, 123 migrants managed to cross to Spanish-occupied Mililia
I don’t think they’re out of the woods yet, but they survived

They published a list of names - no other details

@hrw issued a statement 29/6

“Video and photographs show bodies strewn on the ground in pools of blood, Moroccan security forces kicking and beating people, and Spanish Guardia Civil launching teargas at men clinging to fences,”

This🧵on April-May incidents in #Darfur has become too lengthy. I’m starting a new one!

Sadly, since I started the first thread, incidents with deadly outcome occurred almost every day!
I hope by some miracle, this will be the last.

#KeepEyesOnSudan
Al-Geneina RCs summarizes the situation in West #Darfur state in the past 3 years:

1) All kinds of #HumanRights violations were committed against civilians
2) Almost 1000 deaths, 100s of casualties

3) 1000s of IDP/refugees

4) In 6 out of 8 municipalities scores of entire villages were completely burned down.

5) Economic losses in astronomical figures

6) Most IDP families & local industries are no longer productive

#SudanCoup
When the intl community suggests “dialogue with the military”, I think they are missing one important difference between the Sudanese military & the norm in the rest of the world - with a few exceptions:
The ousted fascist islamist regime has fundamentally changed—->
<—the nature & hierarchy of the armed forces. 1989 coup planning took long time & meticulous preparations. They recruited officers to the NCP & radicalized their beliefs so that their loyalty is to the islamists ideology outweighs their loyalty to the country & their mission—>
<— the top generals are compromised beyond rehabilitation. Same generals became the Security Committee of Bashir regime & took over when he was ousted in 2019. Then they rebranded to Transitional Military Council #TMC amid the protests & sit-ins. They continued to quell descent—>

The 2019 constitutional document was disputed & now practically dead. No one dares go against the will of the streets right now except a few affiliates of the ousted regime.
This statement is problematic & doesn’t rises to the level of the people’s aspirations.
#keepEyesOnSudan
The only positive thing is not recognizing any PM appointment by the junta. #SudanCoup leaders are scrambling right now to find someone to designate as the new civilian face of their kleptocratic totalitarian regime - rumors are flying around all day long.

#KeepEyesOnSudan
The statement is also contradictory; they encourage dialogue which involves #SudanCoup leaders being part of the upcoming government, but at the same time wanting to hold the people responsible for the atrocities accountable. Those perps are the coup leaders. 🤦🏽‍♀️

It is far from true. Even @TiborPNagyJr government doesn’t agree with his assessment. To make this objective; one should list the reasons & perceived similarities between Sudan & in this case Libya. Not just agree with a shallow blanket statement like mr Nagy’s.
#KeepEyesOnSudan
I’d start with the fact that there’s virtually no difference between Bashir regime & Burhan’s. The RSF & other militias existed & were more vicious then. When Bashir’s regime fell his security committee took over & they had to share power with civilians. We didn’t become Libya!▶️
If you think the parallel is the tribal society, this is also false argument, because the nature is completely different. We’re moving away from tribalism. Just take a look at the protesters, what they want & who they represent.
Besides the non-violence. We won’t carry arms.▶️

The US seems to lack interest in the region all together. I’ve never bought that superpowers live by what they breach, but this is shameful even for the US with its history with dictatorships & wars. The US lost its compass & has no idea what democracy is anymore
#KeepEyesOnSudan
I’d expect such a statement from the Gulf countries or Egypt. They worked hard to see #SudanCoup through, but the US - at least superficially- used to stand for something. Now it’s the Sudanese people vs the junta. They’ll succeed & history will remember who picked what side.
Needless to say that when I name a country, I mean the government not the people. We know very well what kind of suffering the people of the region are enduring due to the oppression by their own corrupt leaders.
