notes: On 24 January 2021, a large gathering of Arab demonstrators (presumed to be predominantly Rizeigat) began a sit-in demonstration in El Geneina (West Darfur state), which included barricading roads into the city. The sit-in demonstration has lasted at least six days. The demonstrators are calling for the resignation of the governor of the state; the return of displaced peoples to their home areas; and for an inquiry into the causes of recent violence into the city.
