The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) revealed the truth regarding the videos circulated on social media of decomposing human bodies in Khartoum.

Media Statement

 

May 20th, 2025

 

In a scene that epitomizes moral and political failure, the mouthpieces of the terrorist Islamic Movement and its funded media, a desperate and blatant attempt emerged to distort the truth, presenting a feeble display of decomposing human corpses and skeletal remains within a university morgue. It is an ill-directed theatrical act aimed at defaming our forces and deceiving the public opinion.

 

What was displayed is nothing more than human remains preserved in morgue refrigerators belonging to one of the medical colleges. It is a normal medical and scientific practice in which corpses are used for educational and training purposes. However, the ongoing  war, continuing for over two years now, has led to the suspension of the maintenance and routine follow-up of the morgue, resulting in the decomposition of the human corpses and the accumulation of dust and debris upon them. This reality is well known, well documented, and not new to either the judicial or media authorities.

 

The Public Prosecution, through a specialized judicial committee, had previously addressed this case years ago, concluding that there were administrative deficiencies and clear negligence in the procedures for handling the cadavers of unidentified individuals. It was confirmed that some of these cadavers had indeed been transferred to medical schools for academic purposes without informing the relevant judicial and security authorities, as required by regulations. The investigation involved the interrogation of senior officials from the departments of morgues and medical schools, namely the Director General of the  morgue of Omdurman Hospital, the dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Omdurman Islamic University, and the head of the anatomy department in the same faculty.

 

Therefore, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) strongly condemn this cheap political exploitation of a case that is well known and documented in the records of the Public Prosecution, as well as the attempt to reproduce it within the context of the current war to discredit our forces and falsely attribute fabricated charges to its personnel.

 

We affirm that those who should be held accountable for the murders and field executions of civilians are the ISIS (Daesh) elements of the Islamic Movement and their terrorist brigades, who persist in spreading false information and engaging in cheap propaganda in a desperate attempt to evade responsibility for their well-documented crimes.

 

We call upon all media agencies to uphold professionalism and objectivity, and not to be swayed by these blatant propaganda campaigns, which will not succeed in deceiving the conscious people who are fully aware of those who are responsible for the massacres and those who sacrifice in the defence of their freedom and the pursuit of justice and equality.

 

Mercy and forgiveness be upon our righteous martyrs.
