Sudan Events – Follow-up
Amnesty International accused the RSF of retaliatory attacks in Al-Jazira state, leading to widespread abuses, including killings, looting, and sexual violence.
In a statement, Amnesty reported that the RSF attacked areas in eastern Al-Jazira, such as Tambul, Rufaa, Al-Helaliya, Sarayha, and Al-Aziba, resulting in deaths in homes, markets, and streets, along with extensive property theft, including from hospitals and marketplaces.
The organization called for an immediate end to all direct and indirect arms supplies to both sides and for countries fueling this “brutal conflict” to respect and enforce the UN Security Council’s arms embargo on Darfur. Amnesty urged all parties to ensure safe passage for civilians fleeing conflict zones and to facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries without discrimination.
