[SUDANTRIBUNE] Fifty civilians, including 10 volunteers, were killed and 82 others detained in Khartoum locality over the past week, a local emergency response group said on Monday, blaming the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias. Emergency response rooms, which are independent groups, have been active in providing food and medical treatment to millions of Sudan ![]() ese affected by the ongoing conflict. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... they say their efforts have been hampered by deliberate obstruction from the warring parties, including killings, detentions, and torture of their volunteers. ''The past week witnessed the killing of 50 citizens, including at least 10 volunteers, and the abduction and detention of 70 civilians, in addition to 12 volunteers,'' the Khartoum Locality Emergency Room said in a statement seen by Sudan Tribune. The group said it had received reports of rape but could not provide a precise number due to social stigma and fear. It accused the RSF and allied militias of committing widespread violations in Khartoum locality neighbourhoods, targeting unarmed civilians. Mercenaries from South Sudan also face accusations of committing atrocities against civilians under the cover of the RSF. |
