RSF accused of continued killings, looting in Al-Jazirah villages

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continue a brutal campaign in Sudan
Sudan

...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s al-Jazira State, south of the capital Khartoum. Since seizing the state capital, Wad Madani, in December, the RSF has allegedly engaged in looting, violence, and extortion for four consecutive months.

Local Resistance® Committees in Hasahisa reported that on Friday, the RSF killed eight civilians and injured nine others in the village of Umm Jaris. These attacks were allegedly followed by widespread looting of homes, private property, and even agricultural equipment.

Similar incidents occurred in the village of al-Halila al-Halaween. The RSF elements reportedly attempted to raid the village but were met with resistance from the villagers. The ensuing confrontation resulted in several civilian injuries, including four at death's door.

These recent events add to a growing list of abuses attributed to the RSF in al-Jazirah. Dozens of villages across the state have reportedly witnessed killings, robberies, and displacement of residents.

Major General Awad al-Karim Ali Saeed recently assumed command of the 1st Infantry Division in al-Jazira. The Sudanese army has assured the public that the state’s residents’ security and stability remain a top priority.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
scepticism lingers. Last week, the Wad Madani Resistance® Committees accused the RSF of imposing new taxes on businesses and citizens, along with demanding exorbitant fees for basic utilities like water and electricity.
