(UPDATED) The Governor of South Darfur State stressed the importance of the new security orders for the Eid El Fitr leave period in Nyala. The Commissioner of Nyala North on Saturday proposed to verify the identity of all residents in the northern districts of South Darfur\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

In a speech to the residents of South Darfur\u2019s capital Nyala on the occasion of Eid El Fitr, Governor Maj. Gen. Adam Mahmoud Jarelnabi, said that the firing of guns or playing with firework is strictly forbidden. He warned the citizens for the consequences, in case the security measures will be violated.<\/p>\n

Jarelnabi stressed that offenders will be brought to justice at the Nyala Emergency Court established last week. He called on the citizens of South Darfur to use the opportunity of the Eid to \u201cto bid farewell to the era of strife and conflict, and open a new page of stability and development\u201d.<\/p>\n

On 15 July, the Governor issued a number of \u201cemergency measures\u201d, in an attempt to combat the rampant insecurity in the capital. The Commissioner of Nyala North, El Hadi Eisa Saeed, said at the time that the measures were taken as \u201clife has become unbearable in Nyala\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner on Saturday told the press that he has called for the verification of \u201cany person\u201d living in the northern parts of the capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two reasons for concentrating on Nyala North, and in particular El Riyadh district which is the stronghold of the Rapid Support Forces and the Border Guards militias,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first reason is the large presence of militiamen in the area, and the second is that there are outlaws committing crimes, while dressed in those militias’ uniforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saeed said that the security authorities concentrated on the crimes committed by paramilitary Border Guards and the Rapid Support Militias, \u201cbut a lot of outlaws are wearing militia’s uniforms too\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring Ramadan, we arrested a group of outlaws in militia uniforms. They were eating roasted meat, and drinking alcohol in broad daylight.\u201d<\/p>\n
