RSF kills 85 in south of Khartoum in one week

KHARTOUM: Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed at least 85 people in one week during attacks south of the capital Khartoum, an activist group said on Wednesday.

“For the seventh consecutive day, the Janjaweed militias continue their violent attacks on villages... west of Jebel Awliya, resulting in the deaths of more than 85 people and the injury of dozens,” said the Sudanese resistance committee, referring to the RSF by the name of its precursor.

The RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, has been battling the army, led by Sudan´s de facto leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, since April 2023.

The regular army declared last Thursday that it had regained full control of Khartoum, a day after Burhan announced that the capital had been “liberated” from the RSF.
