Sheikh Ahmed Mohammed Abakar was arrested in November 2007 in connection with the murder of a government official in the Hamadea Camp. Though uninvolved in the crime and innocent of any charges, as leader of the Camp he was detained several months until the government and the widow of the deceased could reach a settlement. As part of the settlement, Sheikh Ahmed had to step down as leader of the camp and the people of Hamadea were for the first time compelled to allow a permanent government presence inside the camp. Action: Relief International
