Atrocities in Sudan: Rapid Support Forces Linked to Over 200 Deaths
The Sudanese Doctors Syndicate has reported that more than 200 individuals have died due to a combination of atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces, alongside severe cases of poisoning and starvation in Al-Hilaliya, located in eastern Al-Jazeera State. This alarming situation has unfolded amidst claims of a media blackout and an unjust siege affecting the region.
The Syndicate's statement detailed the tragic circumstances surrounding the deaths, noting that many victims succumbed to militia gunfire, while others faced illness and malnutrition. Reports indicate that the Rapid Support Forces have engaged in widespread violations, including looting and detaining residents in mosques, demanding exorbitant sums for their release. The situation has been exacerbated by the lack of basic healthcare, leading to an increase in epidemic cases and chemical poisoning incidents among the population.
In a shocking revelation, detainees were reportedly forced to consume contaminated wheat grains and drink from an old, unsafe water source, further contributing to the rising death toll. The medical union condemned these actions as crimes against humanity, holding the Rapid Support Forces accountable for their actions against civilians and calling for urgent intervention from human rights organizations to alleviate the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Al-Hilaliya.
The union has urged the international community to classify the Rapid Support Forces as a terrorist organization, emphasizing the need for immediate action to protect the citizens of Sudan from these ongoing atrocities.
