The Sudanese Attorney General, Fatih Mohamed Isa Tafoor, revealed that reports indicate “more than 200,000 mercenaries have entered Sudan to fight alongside the Rapid Support Forces militia against the Sudanese army.”
In an interview with Anadolu, the Attorney General said, “There are reports (unspecified) about more than 200,000 mercenaries entering Sudan from various countries.”
He added, “The latest of these mercenaries are Colombians, and there are neighboring countries known to have sent mercenaries (without naming them).”
Tafoor said, “These Colombians were brought from across the seas to destroy the infrastructure,” noting that “the Colombian government apologized, saying these people were deceived.”
He continued, “120 mercenaries have been arrested (their nationalities not specified) and will be tried according to Sudanese laws in fair trials that guarantee all the conditions for a just trial.”
The Attorney General accused the militia of “committing crimes of assault and killing against civilians, as well as sexual violence crimes including sexual slavery, rape, and forced pregnancy with the intent of changing the demographic composition.”
He added, “They have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and terrorist acts by attacking civilian airports, damaging navigation devices, and taking them out of service.”
Tafoor noted that the Rapid Support Forces militia “occupied 540,000 civilian properties, including 80% of citizens’ homes, and took 250 hospitals out of service, including 14 that were turned into military barracks.”
He also mentioned that “the militia committed serious crimes against children, recruiting 10,500 children.”
The Attorney General reported that the Public Prosecution and the National Committee for Investigating Rapid Support Forces’ Crimes had conducted extensive investigations.
He said, “The number of reports on the Rapid Support Forces’ crimes has exceeded 31,000, with verdicts issued in 391 cases, and 705 individuals have been referred to court.”
Tafoor noted that “the procedures are going very well, and there are suspects who have been declared fugitives, with requests made for some via Interpol, and others will be requested soon.”
