feb 18, 2025 - Sudan Paramilitaries Kill Hundreds

Description:

Sudanese rebels have killed hundreds of people in a three-day assault in the southern White Nile state, according to a rights watchdog.

The attacks on villages near the town of al-Gitaina by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed more than 200 people, Emergency Lawyers, a group tracking rights violations in the 21-month war between the Sudanese army and the RSF, said on Tuesday.

“Field executions, abductions, forced disappearances and lootings,” were carried out, the group said. Some victims drowned after being shot at while trying to flee across the Nile River, in what Emergency Lawyers branded a “massacre”.
