The Sudan Doctors’ Network said that a force belonging to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) committed what it described as a “heinous crime” on Thursday evening in the Al-Thawra neighborhood of Nyala, the capital of South Darfur State, killing a woman and abducting five residents, who were taken to an undisclosed location.
In a statement issued on Friday, the network said it still had no information on the fate of the abductees, describing the incident as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a direct threat to civilian lives and community peace.
The network held the RSF fully responsible for the crime, calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the abductees, as well as urgent and effective protection for civilians.
It also urged the international community, the UN Human Rights Commission, and relevant bodies to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibilities toward civilians in the Darfur region.
