Sudan has called on the international community to hold the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) accountable for mass killings of patients and medical staff in Al-Fashir, North Darfur.
The Health Ministry condemned the attack on the Saudi Maternity Hospital, which reportedly left 460 patients and companions dead, and also denounced the killing of 12 medical personnel by the RSF in Bara, North Kordofan. The World Health Organization confirmed the Al-Fashir casualties.
Sudanese Prime Minister Kamal Idris urged the UN Security Council to take “practical measures” to protect civilians and ensure those responsible are held accountable. He described the killings in Al-Fashir as war crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.
The RSF seized Al-Fashir on Sunday following heavy clashes with the Sudanese army. The city had been under siege by the group since May 2024. Reports indicate mass killings, forced displacement, and systematic attacks on civilians.
The Joint Force of Armed Movements in Darfur, allied with the army, accused the RSF of committing “war crimes, genocide, and forced displacement,” and called for the group to be designated a terrorist organization. The coalition cited field testimonies and video evidence documenting the atrocities.
Meanwhile, the International Organization for Migration reported that 1,750 people fled to Chad from Tina, North Darfur, on Wednesday due to worsening insecurity. Tina is controlled by the Sudanese army and lies near the Chadian border.
Since April 2023, fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF has killed around 20,000 people and displaced over 15 million as refugees or internally displaced, according to UN and local sources.
