Rapid Support Forces Kill 124 in Sudan Attack

In a devastating attack on Friday, Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed at least 124 civilians in Al-Sireha village, El Gezira State, marking one of the deadliest incidents in the ongoing 18-month conflict. The violence is reportedly linked to the recent defection of RSF officer Abuagla Keikal to the Sudanese army, prompting retaliatory strikes against local populations. Activists report that RSF raids have resulted in widespread displacement, looting, and severe humanitarian crises, with over 11 million people affected. Eyewitness accounts describe the RSF's violent actions, including indiscriminate shootings and the establishment of checkpoints targeting civilians. International calls for intervention have grown as allegations of war crimes, including genocide and ethnic cleansing, surface against both the RSF and the army. Despite the rising death toll, evacuation efforts remain hampered by ongoing violence, leaving many injured without access to medical care.
