A dam in Tindelti in White Nile state partially collapsed as a result of the floods on Monday. El Aawaj dam sustained damage as a result of the flood of the seasonal river Khor Abu Habil, which threatens to drown parts of Tindelti. El Awaj was built to protect Tindelti from flooding in 2013. Extreme weather in Sennar has forced approximately 80 families from Singa out of their flooded homes since Friday. People are staying in the public squares of the city, residents told Radio Dabanga on Sunday. Elsehwere in Sennar, in El Dindir, one of the engineers at the water station told local media that the amount of water flowing from the Ethiopian plateau has led to the exit of the river water from the valley. “The increase in the level of El Rahad river and the amount of water running from El Dindir river threaten to flood El Dindir. This is is dangerous to the people living near the river and low places.” Continue Reading <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=6aef73157f&e=5ffa50b614> *Sudan: Dr Mudawi released after pardon, all charges dropped* *August 30 - 2017 KHARTOUM* Sudanese human rights champion Dr Mudawi Ibrahim, who has been in detention in Khartoum's infamous Kober prison since December last year, was released on 29 August – along with four other detainees – in accordance with a Republican decree issued by President Omar Al Bashir. Dr Mudawi’s family confirmed to Radio Dabanga that Dr Mudawi was at home on Tuesday night 29 August. One of his co-accused has not been released so far, despite the presidential decree. Dr Mudawi was arrested on December 7 from the campus of Khartoum University, where he lectures in engineering. His detention prompted a chorus of condemnation for the highest levels of the international community including the United Nations and African Union. Dr Mudawi embarked on several hunger strikes during his detention and his family appealed repeatedtly to the Sudanese government to release him. In May, the prosecution charged Dr Mudawi on six charges including ‘undermining the constitutional system’ and ‘waging war against the state', both of which carry either the death penalty or life imprisonment. All charges against him have now been dropped. The release of one of the five co-accused of the human rights defender, Hafez Idris El Doma, has been delayed <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=c3df2fbacc&e=5ffa50b614> despite the presidential decree. The Darfur Bar Association informed Radio Dabanga on Thursday after El Doma was handed over by the authorities to the state security prosecution under another complaint – according to the prosecution. Amnesty International has been very vocal in campaigning for Dr Mudawi’s release, and reacted with relief to the news of his release and that all charges against him have been dropped. Also the European Union <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=bd2a508a22&e=5ffa50b614> (EU) has welcomed the decree by Sudan’s President Omar Al Bashir to pardon and release Dr Mudawi. *More news from Radio Dabanga:* *13 cholera dead in South Darfur capital <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=55000d1d5a&e=5ffa50b614> * *September 5 - 2017 NYALA / KASS / KALMA / GARSILA / NIERTETI / FORO BARANGA **Thirteen people died of cholera in a district of Nyala city, medical sources reported on Sunday.
