SAF commit massacres against civilians in Khartoum

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and its allied extremist brigades committed horrific massacres against civilians in the capital, Khartoum. The violations included liquidation by firing a hail of bullets at a number of women and young men, as well as beheadings, the soldiers then proceeded to use the severed heads as objects for amusement, amidst the cheers and chants of “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great).

This comes after the recent redeployment of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as they evacuated Khartoum after two years of controlling the region, according to an official statement issued on Thursday.

Videos circulating on social media in Sudan showed members of the Sudanese Army shooting a young man in Al-Jerif West area of Khartoum amidst cheers and chants of “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great). Another man was beheaded, for allegedly collaborating with the Rapid Support Forces. A third video clip showed a woman being shot for allegedly collaborating with the Rapid Support Forces.

Reports from official organizations indicate that the Sudanese Army committed a massacre against civilians in Khartoum, killing hundreds of women, young men, and the elderly under the pretext of allegedly collaborating with the Rapid Support Forces, they were shot to death and their throats were slit with knives.

Thousands of Sudanese have been killed since the beginning of the war, by the Sudanese Army, for allegedly collaborating with the Rapid Support Forces. Observers believe this is a baseless accusation, devoid of any evidence. They point out that all the victims were civilians, emphasizing that the majority of civilians killed by the Sudanese Army hail from Darfur and Kordofan, western Sudan.

Local sources told (Assayha) that the violations that took place in Khartoum and East Nile (Sharg Alneel) represent less than (1%) of the horrific crimes committed inside homes, on public roads, and in deserted areas, targeting specific social groups.

They called on the international community and human rights organizations to take immediate action to monitor and document these violations, which are being committed on tribal and regional basis. They warned that such actions might very well turn into a comprehensive targeting that could plunge the country into the hellish depths of a devastating civil war.
