A Sudanese researcher and politician at the Institute of Development of Cornell University in the USA urged the UN and human rights organisations to investigate the attacks on women students of the University of Khartoum on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The researcher, Ahmed Hussein Adam, who is originally from Darfur, considers the violence used by elements of the security forces to evacuate Darfuri women students from the Zahra boarding complex in Khartoum, \u201cpart and parcel of the genocide in Darfur\u201d.<\/p>\n

Via Radio Dabanga, he demanded from the UN, human rights organisations, and the Sudanese government to investigate the \u201cserious assaults\u201d, and bring the perpetrators to justice. He warned that the targeting of the people of Darfur will lead to an increased disintegration of the country.<\/p>\n

The director general of the National Endowment Fund for Students, Mohamed Abdallah El Nagarabi, told the press in Khartoum on Saturday that the students were requested to vacate the boarding house because the building will be renovated. The students will be offered alternative housing next week.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, security forces raided El Zahra dormitory, and violently expelled the remaining 70 Darfuri women students, who had not left, because they did not have a place to go. Dozens of them were taken to various security detention centres in Khartoum. <\/p>\n
