This has resulted in dozens of civilian deaths in recent weeks, while the militia continues its crimes of ethnic cleansing around El Fasher by adopting a scorched earth policy.<br \/>\nThe statement confirmed that during the past few days, the militia committed a series of new massacres against defenseless villagers in the areas of Umm Rawaba, North Kordofan, Al-Kamilin, Al-Ma\u2019iliq and Al-Huda in Gezira State, in addition to bombing residential areas in Karari locality, Khartoum State, with long-range artillery. Seven civilians were martyred yesterday as a result of the bombing.<br \/>\nThe statement said that it is clear that the militia, due to its inability to directly confront the armed forces, has begun targeting civilians and civilian institutions exclusively, to cause the greatest amount of loss of life in order to force citizens to evacuate their villages and residential areas in order to settle its mercenaries there. To do this, the militia uses lethal weapons and drones. Provided by its regional sponsors, it employs all means of terrorism, intimidation and humiliation of citizens.<br \/>\nThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the successive condemnations against the terrorist militia issued recently by UN officials, human rights organizations, governments, and legislative bodies in a number of countries around the world, especially describing its crimes as true as genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.<br \/>\nThe statment said that the armed forces and joint forces, supported by all segments of the Sudanese people, in their heroic confrontation with the militia, not only defend Sudan and its people, but also play a major role in protecting regional and international security. The international community must acknowledge and support this role, and the unfounded accusations that are sometimes issued by international parties against the armed forces, or equating them with the rebel militia, must stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sudan Events &#8211; Follow-ups The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said that the Rapid Support militia (RSF) is continuing to commit unprecedented atrocities against unarmed civilians and targeting civilian and humanitarian facilities in a number of Sudan states.
