RSF Executes 31 Civilians in Omdurman, Drawing International Condemnation

At least 31 civilians, including children, were executed by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Al-Salha area of Omdurman, according to multiple volunteer organizations and the Sudanese Doctors Network. The RSF is accused of abducting and killing unarmed civilians, with videos circulating online allegedly showing RSF fighters carrying out the executions. Human rights groups and local organizations have labeled the killings as war crimes and crimes against humanity, urging urgent international intervention and the creation of safe corridors for trapped civilians. The RSF has not officially responded to the allegations, while the Sudanese government and international observers have condemned the attacks. The incident is part of the ongoing conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces, which has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and displaced over 15 million people since April 2023. Diplomatic efforts to end the violence have so far failed, and the humanitarian situation continues to worsen.
