Sudanese police have demolished the homes in a refugee camp in the outskirts of Khartoum on Monday, but residents refuse to move on. The act coincides with the upcoming multi-party polls in 3 weeks. It will be the first time in 24 long years.
After U.N. condemnations, Sudan had stopped most demolishing of refugee homes and forced relocations surrounding the capital. But on Sunday night residents of Soba al-Shahanat saw dozens of their homes and shops demolished by bulldozers. When they refused to go, police cordoned off the area, hindering the delivery of fresh food and water.
