Our
colleague Saudi from the Together for Sudan office in Khartoum visited Kadugli in late
December and reports that he found Together for Sudan watchman Nazar still on duty despite the
looting of our office. No usable equipment remains in the building. Our two colleagues
visited the landlord who promised to do general maintenance but all equipment
will need to be replaced. Meanwhile, Kadugli
remains tense and during Saudi’s visit to the local Commissioner, Together for Sudan was asked
to move our upcoming Eye Care Outreach to Talodi – to which some 2,000 people from
other areas of South Kordofan have fled seeking safety in recent months. The
local Humanitarian Affairs Commission has lost most partners in UN agencies and
international organizations. And it was not possible for Saudi to check on the more
than 20 solar lighting panels, most in unstable areas, which Together for Sudan had recently
set up on schools and clinics.
