Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces on Tuesday announced on X that shelling by the Sudanese army had killed at least 12 civilians, including women and children, in North Darfur State.
RSF statement also condemned army attacks on civilians in Madani, Nyala, and Khartoum.
The Sudanese group called on the international community to “condemn these crimes against the people of Sudan.”
Group said it is committed to taking down remnants of the “extremist former regime” and hold them accountable for their crimes.
“We are dedicated to collaborating with the Sudanese people to put an end to these violations,” RSF added.
Sudan has since April 15, 2023 been plunged into a civil war pitting army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
The conflict has resulted in a devastating toll, with over 12,190 casualties and the displacement of more than seven million people, according to estimates by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project and UN figures, respectively.
Mediation efforts have faced significant obstacles due to deep-seated animosity between the rival factions. Despite Burhan’s administration continuing to issue statements as Sudan’s government, Dagalo’s Rapid Support Forces assert control over Khartoum’s streets, Darfur, and a substantial part of Al-Jazira, once Sudan’s vital agricultural region.
