Ethnic persecution against Darfuris has spread to Khartoum
There has been an outcry from national and international human rights groups who accused the Government of Sudan of sweeping human rights abuses in the wake of the May 10 coup attempt by the JEM rebel group.

Most of those detained have no links to the group involved in the attack. Nonetheless, Darfuris living in Khartoum are being arrested, tortured and murdered, especially those of the Zaghawa tribe (who form the bulk of JEM members)

The SLM-Unity, another rebel group which does not support the JEM attack said it would not "stand idle and have taken the decision to carry out reprisals against anyone who ordered or carried out " these gross violations of human rights.

The SLM-Unity urges the United Nations Security Council to condemn the violations.
