A humanitarian worker who has a long history of advocacy work in al Geneina believes that the city has been ethnically cleansed. There have been attempts to assassinate volunteers who have tried to help bury the dead, he adds.
"After the police station and over the mountain - around 250 metres from a cattle slaughterhouse - I saw a group of scared residents throwing nine bodies into a large pond."One volunteer independently verified the location of this grave site and says he was present as 50 bodies were dumped there."Our group was not happy with how the dead were being treated so we opted out of the burial. We helped with transporting the corpses but did not join for the dumping," he says.
He says 14 of his brothers and sisters have been killed in al Geneina since the start of the war in April - many of them remained unburied for weeks after their deaths. "I buried my sister 54 days after she was killed. My mother was wounded at the same time and could not leave the house for a long time. She still hasn't received any medical assistance," said the volunteer, who is being kept anonymous for his safety.His elderly father and wounded mother make leaving difficult and relocation funds are low after their savings were looted from their home amid the chaos.
"The janjaweed militias practised forced displacement by burning homes and shelters for the displaced in a brutal and racist manner - killing civilians - which is considered a crime of genocide," he said.
