He told Radio Dabanga that several others may be detained too.| Last Wednesday, US Special Envoy Donald Booth met with a committee of displaced people in the headquarters of the African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (Unamid). 20 elders, women and youths attended to discuss a range of issues in Darfur, including problems with abusive government forces <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=72d732a108&e=5ffa50b614> and pro-government militias.

He appealed to the Embassy of the US in Khartoum and the Sudanese government to intervene and stop the detention campaign of participants of Wednesday's meeting. *Eastern Sudanese families missing after floods* *August 2 – 2016 EASTERN SUDAN* In a continuous stream of reports about flash floods that destroy houses and infrastructure in Sudan, 45 families are reported to be missing in Kassala's Aroma locality after the flooding of the river during the past week. Because of the lack of access to affected villages, the number of deaths and missing is difficult to determine. The only party to have arrived in Kassala, the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS), has deployed an aid convoy to the residents of Hameshkoreib locality, who are also struck by the floods of the annual rainy season. “The conditions of the displaced residents and other residents are miserable. The water has washed away all their possessions and livestock. Now they live in the open without shelter,” a SRCS employee told Radio Dabanga. Flash floods have washed away the dam <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=e40dd4cd91&e=5ffa50b614> that connected Hameshkoreib with Kassala on Sunday.
