The government of South Kordofan State has revealed that more than 500 people were killed in the state as a result of artillery shelling and drone strikes carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\u2013North (SPLM-N, Al-Hilu faction) during 2024\u20132025.<\/p>\n
Adam Salem, Director of Information in the state, told Al-Tara Sudan that most of the victims were children, women, and the elderly.<\/p>\n
He noted that since the outbreak of the war, the militia\u2019s strategy has focused on targeting cities in an effort to depopulate them of civilians.<\/p>\n
Salem confirmed that the continued targeting of densely populated areas by the RSF and the SPLM-N through artillery and drone attacks represents a reaction to ongoing military operations across the Kordofan fronts, aimed at diverting attention from the army\u2019s advances and boosting the morale of their fighters on the ground.<\/p>\n
He further stated that the militia is engaged in widespread looting, theft, harassment, detention, extortion through ransom demands, and extrajudicial killings, citing the recent killing of the Secretary-General of the Zakat Chamber as an example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
