The Committee for Justice (CFJ) has documented alarming information regarding a campaign carried out by Military Intelligence in the city of Um Rawaba, involving the confiscation of approximately 400 homes owned by civilians, based on allegations of collaboration with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—without any judicial decisions or legally transparent procedures being announced.
According to local sources from inside the city, the confiscations were concentrated primarily in the Taiba neighborhood, where Military Intelligence seized several homes, including those belonging to the following residents: Ali Hussein Ali Mahmoud, Mousa Saad, Salman Al‑Bahi, Abdullah Mohamed Hamed, Mohamed Ahmed Saeed, Adel Suleiman Al‑Ghali, Zahra Adam Ismail, and Saleh Mohamed Adam.
Sources also reported that the confiscation process was accompanied by severe physical abuses, including the assault of Saleh Mohamed Adam’s wife, who was beaten and forcibly removed from her home after her husband was arrested and taken to a Military Intelligence facility.
According to CFJ, the city is experiencing a widespread state of fear and panic among residents amid heightened security repression, driving many families to leave their neighborhoods due to the risk of arrest or the confiscation of their property. The committee also noted that detention centers are overcrowded with detainees and convicts, some of whom face harsh sentences—including execution and life imprisonment—based on accusations of collaboration with the RSF.
CFJ warned that these practices constitute grave violations of the right to private property, emphasizing that property confiscation cannot be carried out except through final judicial rulings and in accordance with clear legal procedures.
The committee called for an immediate halt to arbitrary confiscations, ensuring the protection of civilians and their property, the release of those arbitrarily detained, and the opening of an independent investigation into the violations accompanying this campaign—ensuring accountability and preventing impunity.
