The Government of Sudan is forcibly relocating thousands of IDPs from camps like these in Darfur, without respect for international law. In the early morning hours of November 2, Government of Sudan security forces surrounded three internally displaced persons (IDP) camps within a five mile radius of Nyala: Al Geer, Otash and Kalma. At Al Geer camp they forcibly removed all of the IDPS, numbering between six and nine thousand, to the new Saudi Red Crescent Al Surief camp in Nyala town.
