Al-Abbasiya Tagali – SAR, February 28
Local authorities in Al-Abbasiya Tagali Loclaity, South Kordofan State, have prevented the administration of the Expanded Program on Immunization from vaccinating children against German measles in areas controlled by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), led by Abdelaziz Adam al-Hilu.
Reports from the Sudanese Alliance for Rights (SAR) revealed that the decision followed the SPLM-N’s signing of the Sudan Founding Charter, which seeks to establish a government of peace and unity with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The SAR has obtained a list of the areas affected by the vaccination ban, including Al-Dara, Al-Sanadra, Tufin, Al-Jibailat, Kalinda, Julia, Joqaya, Mandraba, Tabsa, Al-Sisaban, Tasi, Tayba, Al-Roseires, Al-Managil, Al-Gardod, Al-Badri, Al-Bedaria, Al-Dadouri, Al-Muraib, Habayel, Tanoder, Najofiya, Tiri, Terfit, Khur Fadila, and Tajlo.
