A/HRC/6/19 page 35 Information Received from Other Sources on Recommendation 1.1.2 No information received relating to the period 20 June 2007 to mid-November 2007. Assessment of Implementation of Recommendation 1.1.2 Implementation seems not to have started. The plan was not published. Some equipment was acquired, but it is unclear whether or not it will be used in the Darfur region. Insufficient action seems to have been taken to control or disarm the militia and downsize security forces such as the Popular Defence Forces (PDF), Border Intelligence Guard, Central Reserve Police, Popular Police or Nomadic Police, as well as to vet such organisations to exclude members who have committed serious human rights violations. Recommendation 1.1.3 Short-term Take all necessary measures to avert the threat of and prevent attacks on civilians and intervene to protect populations under attack in all areas under Government control. Indicators: Number of attacks on civilians or civilian objects in areas under Government control. Effective action taken to avert the threat of and prevent attacks on civilians and to protect populations under attack. Response of the Government of the Sudan on Recommendation 1.1.3 Written information submitted to the group of experts on Darfur on 21 August 2007 At 16:00 on 1 August 2007, the armed forces fought off an attack by a group known as the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM-Unity) against the city of Adilah. The attack was carried out against citizens and their property and struck terror into the people’s hearts. The armed forces forced the rebels to withdraw after losing 11 of their own men. The armed forces and the police continue to use checkpoints and mobile patrols to secure transport roads and pathways in Darfur. There are checkpoints in: (a) Shaqrah (b) Dunuki Shattah (c) Awm (d) Taratur Ajabu (e) Shanqal Tubay (f) Kumah (g) Umm Draysai and (h) Umm Attash. There are mobile patrols: (a) securing the Al-Fashir Al-Kumah Umm Kadadah road; (b) securing the Al-Fashir Niyala road; (c) securing the Al-Fashir Katam road; (d) securing the Al-Fashir Malit road; and (e) securing the Al-Fashir Kabkabayah road. An armed forces committee was set up to estimate the losses arising from the mistaken bombardment of the Al-Ara’is area in the Umm Kadadah district of North Darfur. It established a figure of 35,154,653 (thirty-five million, one hundred and fifty-four thousand, three and fifty) dinars to be distributed to those who had been wounded (four persons), killed (five persons) or had suffered damage to property (46 persons).
