The human conscience was horrified to hear a recording of what seems to be an investigation and torture that may have resulted in the death of Commander Faisal Adam Ali, nicknamed “Conjo”, at the hands of his comrades in the Sudan Liberation Movement under the leadership of Abdul Wahid al-Nur.
Faisal Adam Ali (Conjo), husband and father to several children, is from North Jebel Marra in the Daya area. He graduated from the University of Khartoum, Faculty of Economics in the year 2004 and was president of the Darfur Students Association at the University of Khartoum.
Faisal is one of the founders of the United Popular Front, the student organization of the Sudan Liberation Movement under leadership of Abdul Wahid al-Nur, and he joined the movement’s military field in 2006. Faisal served as Deputy Chief of the Financial Staff and advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Movement’s Army, Abd al-Qadir Abd al-Rahman Qaddura. He had participated in many battles against the ousted Al-Bashir’s regime.
The course of the investigation into the recording obtained by the Sudanese Network for Human Rights shows that the incident occurred during the month of Ramadan (April 23 – May 23, 2020), and it was about opposition to the leadership of the movement and about Faisal’s relationship with another leader named “Walduk”. There were also questions about a number of cows owned by Faisal in his village.
SHRN condemns in the strongest terms the crime against humanity that was committed against Faisal Adam, and calls on the Sudan Liberation Movement, under leadership of Abdul Wahid al-Nur, to conduct a transparent investigation into the torture of General Faisal Adam and to reveal his whereabouts or body and hand it over to his family and publish the outcome of the investigation and procedures that have taken place.
SHRN also calls for those responsible for the torture, disappearance, or liquidation of Faisal Adam to be revealed and brought to justice. Information has filtered out that a number of other leaders and members of the movement have disappeared in its area of control, among them Al-Taher Abdul-Rahman Hassan, according to one of his friends.
