The commander documents his actions in a &#8220;selfie&#8221; video, surrounded by armed men who support his actions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>A Night of Horror<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The video spread across social media, igniting anger among Sudanese and Arab users alike. The outrage intensified after the elderly man\u2019s daughter posted on Twitter, stating that the man in the video is her father and that her family endured the worst night of their lives. Other sources claimed the man is Tayeb Maher, one of Sudan\u2019s first electrical engineers, who worked in the Gulf before returning to start a business in the village of Al-Siraicha, Gezira State. The video highlighted RSF abuses in this village, prompting solidarity from various Arab figures on social media.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Ganglike Aggression<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Prominent responses came from Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili, the Grand Mufti of Oman, who released a statement saying, \u201cWe were deeply disturbed by the assault on our Sudanese Arab Muslim brothers by these criminal gangs. They entered a village and wiped out its men, an act reminiscent of ancient oppression, and we curse their plans and perpetrators.\u201d He questioned the role of international organizations, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Others called for solidarity with Sudanese victims amid limited media attention. Arab social media users shared a video of a man in military uniform, saying, &#8220;These [RSF elements] are neither national nor Sudanese; this land is ours. It&#8217;s either them or us, death is better than living like this.&#8221; Another commenter stated that the tear of the elderly man outweighs the honor and history of those supporting the militias aiming to destabilize Sudan.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Activists and doctors reported that RSF forces committed a massacre in the village of Al-Siraicha, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths. It was reportedly retaliation for certain RSF leaders defecting to join the Sudanese army. The Al-Jazeera Conference platform, specializing in news from Gezira State, claimed the RSF killed several civilians and activists, triggering displacement of around 10,000 people from approximately 100 villages and raising concerns of potential executions of numerous captives.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sudan Events &#8211; Agencies A bearded man, appearing fearful, clutches his beard as a field commander from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), nicknamed &#8220;Sharon,&#8221; drags the elderly man back and forth, repeating degrading words as he takes apparent satisfaction in tormenting civilians.
