Sudan on the brink of ‘humanitarian disaster’ Details
A harrowing scene of thousands of corpses covered and uncovered with barely-seen features and mold-covered faces, with lives hung for burial in Sudan’s hospital morgue, heralding a “humanitarian catastrophe” and the plague epidemic in Khartoum, according to the Sudan Forensic Advisory Council.
The head of the council, Aqeel Swar al-Thahab, said there will be no retreat from the autopsy and burial of the unidentified bodies in the morgue of the capital Khartoum, according to Sudan Today.
Obstacles
Among the obstacles mentioned by the Gold Bracelet was the refusal of 17 bodies, organizations and movements, foremost among them the Missing Persons Families Association, the Missing Initiative, the Central Sudanese Doctors Committee, the Emergency Lawyers and the Martyrs’ Families Organization, to bury the bodies without following “international protocols” and to bring a specialized international team, due to their “lack of confidence in forensic medicine, especially after their involvement in giving false information to the families of two martyrs and falsifying the autopsy reports of others.”

The “Gold Bracelet” blames the decision of the Federal Health Forensic Authority, under the direction of the Committee for the Investigation of the Disappearance of Persons – the Committee for Missing Persons – not to bury the bodies, for the accumulation of corpses in morgues in the capital and the increase in the number of corpses from 300 to 3000.
Legal dentist consultant Khaled Mohammed Khaled said that the process of filtering and burying the bodies, which is scheduled to start on September 25, was postponed for a limited period of time to consult with the families of the missing persons.
The Missing Person’s Initiative in cooperation with the Families of Missing Persons’ Association organized a protest in front of the Public Prosecution, the day before yesterday, in rejection of the decision of the Attorney General in charge of burying the unidentified bodies.
The former representative of the families of missing persons, Sumaya Ben Ouf, stressed the insistence of the families of missing persons not to be buried by the committee in charge of their distrust of the forensic institution, and called for bringing in an impartial foreign expert team.
Khalid described the accusation by the forensic institution as a whole as “illogical and unacceptable”, but did not deny “the presence of corrupt doctors who gave misleading information about some of the martyrs and missing people,” adding that “there are doctors who contributed to the discovery and discovery of the bodies of many missing people, and he continued, “The presence of the bodies in morgues is more than that, blurring the truth more.”
Forensic and toxicology consultant Dr. Mahjoub Babiker fears an outbreak of the plague in the areas near morgues. He said that the Bashaer morgue, inhabited by mouses because of the accumulation of corpses for years, is only 100 meters away from the operating rooms, and 250 meters away from the dialysis center.
He pointed out that it has become impossible to find 23 missing people among the 3,000 bodies in morgues. The director of the morgue of Ambeda, Mohammed Ahmed Al-Sheik, said that the morgue that was opened last September 23rd received, within three days, 10 unidentified bodies.
