Sudan's RSF kills over thirty civilian captives in Salha, Omdurman
Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have shot and killed 31 civilian captives in al-Salha neighbourhood of Omdurman, south west of down town Khartoum, under the pretext of collaborating with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Sudan's Doctors Network said on Sunday. Khartoum: Altaghyeer Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have shot and killed 31 civilian captives in al-Salha neighbourhood of Omdurman, south west of down town Khartoum, under the pretext of collaborating with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Sudan's Doctors Network said on Sunday. The RSF controls Al-Salha after they have been chased out of Khartoum and large part of Omdurman by the SAF within the ongoing two years-war between them. A RSF's video documenting the crime has been met with condemnation from wide sectors of the Sudanese society. The voluntary rights group Sudanese Emergency Lawyers said in a statement the video showed shocking scenes of civilians being shot in cold blood and a blatant confession by one of the RSF leaders that they were ordered to liquidate civilians. This evidence proved that these violations are being committed deliberately and systematically and in contradiction for all international charters, the group said. The Sudanese Congress Party condemned the 'RSF horrific crime of intentionally killing innocent civilians in al-Salha in continuation of the horrific violations against the civilians in all parts of Sudan, a matter that reflects the brutal nature of this war.' The Umma National Party and the civil democratic alliance Sumood, led by former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, separately condemned in the strongest terms the heinous massacre of unarmed civilians in al-Salha by the RSF. Both denounced the targeting of vital facilities with drone strikes including electrical power stations and civilian IDPs camps.
