1.    On 4/1/2010 a group of 66 students from South Sudan detained three officials of Ministry of Education of South Sudan inside the building of Al-Salam Dormitory in Shambat. They claim that they have not received their financial entitlements for transport to their home areas in the South. The situation was contained by the police through negotiations. The hostages were released after the success in securing part of the required amount. It is noticeable that most of the dormitories of South Sudan students are located within the residential areas and this constitutes a threat to the security of the citizens.
2.    The voting stage took place during the period of 11-15 April 2010. This was carried out at a total of 823 voting centers within Khartoum State where 1,411,172 persons casted their votes making 73% of a total of 1,926,430 registered. Extremely high level of preparations and procedures were in place where a total of 30,862 privates and 1,365 officers from all police units participated in securing the referendum processes. A total of 21 police cases were opened under the Elections Law and most of these where for pretention of another identity for voting. There were some quarrels and verbal exchanges between representatives of parties themselves or with the Election Commission’s officers.

The voting stage went with no significant incidents that affected security. There was only one case of significance where around 13 individuals from the rebel Abdel Wahid Mohamed Nour’s faction were detected at Souk 6 in Al-Haj Yousif carrying Molotov and match boxes for setting fire on a group of vehicle tires that they collected. They were detained and cases opened against them. They were subjected to trials which resulted in 10 of them sentenced for one year and three cleared as innocent.

It is worth mentioning that there was a high turnout of citizen in the first day of voting but some technical and administrative mistakes lead to a feeling of disappointment. Of the problems encountered were mixed voting cards between more than one constituency and the non-appearance of some symbols of candidates or replacement of these by others. This led to the issuing of a resolution by the Elections Commission to repeat the voting in 6 constituencies.
