Mohamed Moussa Abdallah Bahraldien, was a native of Kebkabiya in North Darfur and a member of the United Popular Front (UPF), a student organization loyal to the rebel leader Abdel Wahid Al-Nur.

More than 1,500 people from Darfur, students, activists and politicians including Yasir Arman SPLM presidential candidate, took part in the funeral cemetery which hosted for one hour different speakers from his family, friends, comrades with the crowd waving the SLM flag and chanting the name of Al-Nur the chairman of Sudan Liberation Movement.

Sudanese security surrounded the protesters at the cemetery but also the house of Mohamed Moussa family before.

The speakers mentioned the need for Sudanese authorities to investigate the case and bring responsible before justice.

“I have lost my son … I want justice from the government, justice for my son,” Moussa’s father Musa Abdullah Bahar al Din told Reuters.

Yasir Arman who was hailed with slogans “no Sudan without Arman” said Moussa is one of our martyrs” and he should be celebrated as such”.

Sudanese police blocked the funeral procession from reaching Ahmed Sharfi cemetery, where more students were gathering and order to carry his body to another graveyard at some 45km from Omdurman.

Witness said Moussa had been abducted on Wednesday from the Faculty of Education, Khartoum University, by members of the Sudanese security service.

He was found dead the next day inside a school in Al-Gamayir neighborhood in Omdurman. “His body bore signs of wounds and burns”.

    This is useless if students for the future are being assassinated like that.

    Darfurian should vote for yasir Arman and this stupidity of National security will stop in this country. God will rest Moussa Abdallah in internal life,my condolences to Moussa family, the hero.

    The problem with Darfur people they will never learn only through hard lessons like assasinations and death sentences, how many time they are being told not to trust Arabs but they ignore the warnings, this is the results, they can only blame themselves, freedom does not come through ignorance but through hard work and fight.

    This is the height of NCP’s barbaric security forces that is not accountable to the Sudanese people but the greedy NIF ideologues like Nafie Ali Nafie. There is no reason for kidnapping and murdering a student other than to threatened peaceful democratic participation of the citizenry. NCP can never cause Sudanese to lose their nerve and summit to thuggery.

    May God rest Moussa’s soul in Eternal Peace.
