notes: On 28 June 2020, thousands of demonstrators (including IDPs) marched in Nertiti (Central Darfur state) in opposition to continued attacks by paramilitary forces in the area; calling for senior RSF and Military Intelligence commanders to be removed; and for pro-government militias to be disarmed. The protesters began a sit-in at the town, which has so far lasted for two weeks, and drawn supporters from other towns and villages in the area. Update: On 7 July, a delegation from the Sovereign Council visited, and pledged to replace senior security officials; embark on disarmament and confiscation of motorcycles; and make swift improvements to infrastructure and environmental standards.
