See the most dangerous violations of the Rapid Support Militia against the Sudanese people, via Al-Haqiqa magazine, issue “16”
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Al Hakika
An exclusive periodical electronic magazine, crafted to meticulously track and document the breaches by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rebels. It is published in three languages, serving as a key reference for regional and international organizations, as well as mechanisms dedicated to the protection of human rights across the globe.
Issue “16”.
Introduction
During June, the RSF committed heinous crimes against humanity in the villages of Wad Al-Noura and Sheikh Al-Samani in the states of Al-Jazeera and Sinnar, killing hundreds of unarmed civilians, including children, women, youth, and the elderly, in blatant violation of international and humanitarian law.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned this atrocious crime, attributing it to the international community’s inaction towards the criminal militia, its foreign mercenaries, and its regional sponsors. The international community has observed as these sponsors continue to supply the militia with lethal and advanced weapons via a persistent air bridge between the UAE and Chad for over a year.
The Foreign Ministry described the recent massacre as worse than those perpetrated by internationally known terrorist groups such as ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Lord’s Resistance Army.
Meanwhile, Sudanese circles expressed deep dissatisfaction and regret at the statement issued by the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, which misrepresented these massacres without strongly condemning the real perpetrators and holding them fully accountable.
Sudanese authorities reiterated their rejection of equating the armed forces, which use their legitimate right to preserve the country’s unity and protect citizens, with the rebel RSF, which continues to violate human rights and commit heinous crimes in the name of democracy.
In light of the media blackout and the suspicious silence of regional and international human rights organizations and mechanisms, Al-Haqiqa magazine remains the primary reference for documenting the crimes of the terrorist RSF. For a year, Al-Haqiqa has continued to document these violations in three languages, providing those concerned with reliable information supported by statistics and official reports.
Issue 16 documents the RSF massacres in the states of Jazira, Sennar, and Kordofan, and the new methodology it adopted in using sexual violence in its various forms as a tool for intimidation, humiliation, and forced displacement. It also highlights the RSF’s systematic plan to attack El Fasher for ethnic cleansing and igniting civil war, the systematic destruction of public and higher education institutions, and targeting civilians by burying water wells and kidnapping girls. Al Haqiqa also documents the RSF massacres in Kordofan, targeting hospitals and medical personnel in Al-Fasher and Wad Al-Noura Hospital, preventing goods from reaching the city of Mellit, and plundering commercial convoys, in addition to crimes against children and youth who are voluntary activists and media figures.

The RSF adopts sexual violence in its various forms as a tool for intimidation, humiliation, and forced displacement – recent statistics and horrific testimonies.
A report documenting 125 cases of rape in three states in Darfur by the RSF:
On May 21, 2024, the African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) documented 125 cases of rape in the states of North, South, and West Darfur, some resulting in pregnancies, allegedly committed by RSF soldiers.
Human rights and humanitarian organizations believe the number of victims of conflict-related sexual violence is much higher than reported, given the conservative nature of Sudanese society and the association of such crimes with issues of honor and stigma.
The center’s report, obtained by “Sudan Tribune,” documented 81 cases of sexual violence in North Darfur state from April 15, 2023, to March 27, 2024, mostly in Al-Fasher, Kutum, and Tawila localities.
The center highlighted that the most affected were displaced women fleeing from Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, to North Darfur, with their ages ranging from 12 to 40 years.
Regrettably, only 22 out of 81 girls and women who were subjected to rape received medical assistance due to a lack of supplies in the few functioning facilities.
The report mentioned at least 20 cases of rape in neighborhoods east of El Fasher city under RSF control, including Tadamon, Nakhil, and Al-Jabal.
An eyewitness reported seeing three masked gunmen in RSF uniforms raping a 16-year-old girl who became pregnant due to not receiving medical assistance, faced societal stigma, and eventually attempted suicide. An attempt to save her by taking her to Southern Hospital failed as she died due to a doctors’ strike that day.
The report also stated that 32 girls and women in Tawila locality were sexually abused by the RSF before they withdrew after three days of clashes. Furthermore, during an attack on the army base in Kutum, the RSF and allied militias committed numerous violations, including the rape of at least 29 girls and women.
Victims of West Darfur
The ACJPS documented at least 30 cases of sexual violence against girls and women in El Geneina, West Darfur state, from June 26 to August 4, 2023.
On June 26, 2023, 11 girls fleeing from the Customs, Solidarity, and Revolution neighborhoods in El Geneina were sexually abused by RSF soldiers. Eyewitnesses reported several rapes, including a 14-year-old girl and a woman raped at gunpoint in front of a man.
Human Rights Watch reported that the RSF and their allied militias committed ethnic cleansing against the Masalit ethnicity in West Darfur state.
The report documented that 14 women and girls in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, were raped, with 6 becoming pregnant due to lack of medical care, three of whom underwent abortions. The ACJPS had previously documented 14 incidents in South Darfur involving sexual assaults by men in RSF uniforms, with a follow-up in June 2024 indicating that 6 victims became pregnant and three had abortions.
Mona, a 24-year-old resident of Kalma camp, was raped by armed men in RSF uniforms on December 25, 2023. She discovered her pregnancy in January 2024. “I couldn’t control my tears after receiving the news,” said Mona. Her family would not consider an abortion due to social stigma.
Shahida, 33, from Atash camp, was raped along with other displaced women on December 12, 2023, by armed men in RSF uniforms. She also discovered she was pregnant in January 2024, and after discussion with her husband, decided to terminate the pregnancy. “The stigma from people in the community was affecting me negatively,” testified Shahida.
A reliable source informed the ACJPS that the actual number of rape victims seeking abortions is likely underreported due to the associated stigma.
North Darfur
Between April 15, 2023, and March 27, 2024, at least 81 cases of sexual violence were reported in North Darfur, especially in El Fasher, Kutum, and Tawila. Displaced women and girls aged 12 to 40 were most affected, with only 22 of the 81 victims receiving medical assistance due to a severe shortage of supplies.
Fatima, 16, was raped by two armed men in RSF uniforms while fleeing from Nyala to El Fasher, capital of Darfur.
She ended up getting pregnant because she could not get medical help and also faced societal stigma which eventually led her to attempt suicide, and eventually died despite being taken to Southern Hospital due to a doctors’ strike.

Ministry of Education: The RSF destroyed more than 16,000 seating units and books in Khartoum State, and the director of Al-Nilein University estimates the losses at 100 million dollars
May 16, 2024
The Ministry of Education in Khartoum revealed that the rebel RSF destroyed more than 16,000 seating units and books in the state.
The Ministry’s Director General, Qaribullah Muhammad Ahmed, praised UNICEF’s support for the education process in the state by providing seating and printing school books.
Qaribullah assured UNICEF emergency official, Jelly Leader, of the state government’s commitment to providing all necessary aids to resume the school year and ensure every student, male and female, can receive education in a safe and secure environment. This commitment comes despite significant challenges, including a 10-month delay in disbursing teachers’ benefits and salaries, leading to many teachers migrating or being transferred to other states due to the war.
Qaribullah revealed systematic attacks by the rebel RSF, including sabotaging infrastructure and looting school furniture. The sabotage resulted in the destruction of more than 16,000 seating units and quantities of books in ministry and school warehouses. Additionally, the RSF completely destroyed the ministry’s printing press, which is responsible for printing books and school tools.
The director of Al-Nilein University revealed to (Al-Sudani): The size of the losses suffered by the university’s institutions is approximately 100 million dollars
On June 8, 2024, Professor Al-Hadi Adam Mohamed, Director of Al-Nilein University, estimated the losses suffered by the university’s institutions at approximately 100 million dollars. He reported that all fixed and mobile assets in Khartoum had been destroyed or looted by the RSF, including a modern electronic examination center containing 10,000 tablets. Furthermore, a center established by the university in Rifa’a at a cost of 200 million pounds was also destroyed and looted.
In an interview with Al-Sudani, Professor Mohamed stated that detailed files regarding these losses have been prepared and submitted to the Minister of Higher Education, who included them in the Supreme Reconstruction Committee’s report. However, he emphasized that the extent of the destruction requires significant effort to present, and suggested that a committee from the Ministry of Higher Education should undertake an external tour to raise awareness about these damages.

After the establishment of forced recruitment camps in Zalingei, El Geneina, El Obeid, El Mahfoura, and Jaden in Omdurman, there have been 300 registered reports of kidnapped and missing children, and 35 children killed by the RSF in Wad Al-Noura, Al Jazeera State.
On June 9, 2024, according to Al-Sudani newspaper, the “National Council for Child Welfare” in Sudan reported that 600 children had lost their lives, with hundreds dying in the Darfur region (west of the country) and Al Jazeera state after the RSF took control. Additionally, more than 10,000 children were injured, resulting in the loss of vital organs due to being hit by shells and explosives.
The Secretary-General of the National Council for Child Welfare, Abdul Qadir Abdullah Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, stated that there are over 300 registered reports of missing or kidnapped children out of 2 million children in war zones who have been subjected to violations.
A Sudanese government official reported that “350 children captured by the army were fighting under the RSF in Al Jazeera State alone. Coordination is underway with UNICEF and other parties to arrange their return to their families after undergoing psychological treatment.”
The government official accused the RSF of establishing camps to recruit children in areas such as Zalingei, Al-Geneina, southeast of Al-Obeid, Al-Mahfoura, and Jaden in Omdurman, describing these actions as violations of international and national laws prohibiting the recruitment of children.
Thirty-five children were killed in the attack on the village of Wad Al-Noura in Al Jazeera State.
UNICEF reported receiving “reports indicating that at least 35 children were killed in the attack on the village of Wad Al-Noura by the RSF.”
UNICEF Director Catherine Russell stated, “I was horrified by reports that at least 35 children were killed and more than 20 children were injured during the attack on Wad Al-Noura in Al Jazeera State.”

More than 200 civilians were killed in retaliatory massacres by the RSF in the states of Jazira and Sinnar.
The Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council condemned the heinous crime committed by the RSF against defenseless civilians in Wad Al-Noura, which claimed the lives of nearly 200 innocent citizens. This crime adds to the series of atrocities committed by the RSF in many states of Sudan, reflecting the militia’s systematic behavior of targeting civilians, plundering their property, and forcibly displacing them.
The Sovereignty Council called on the international community and human rights organizations to condemn these crimes and hold the RSF accountable, in line with the principle of non-impunity.
Additionally, the Janjaweed militia invaded the village of Wad Al-Munir, rural Al-Hush in the south of the island, killing eight young men and wounding more than 13 people, some in stable and others in critical condition.

Siege and Displacement in Abbasiya Taqli
On May 21, 2024, the Rapid Support Forces Militia imposed a harsh siege on the city of Abbasiya Taqli in North Kordofan. A citizen, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Radio Dabanga that the situation in the city is dire, with a severe lack of security and freedom. The RSF allowed citizens to travel but imposed restrictions on travelers, including prohibiting them from carrying luggage and causing displacement.
Departure via Smuggling
A housewife reported to Radio Dabanga that citizens are forced to leave the city through smuggling in ill-equipped cars, navigating very rugged roads and harsh environmental conditions. This mode of escape is financially costly and unsafe due to the presence of armed criminals. She noted the absence of any protection on the main roads and revealed that a family was robbed by unruly thugs on motorcycles while leaving the city. As a result, most families now prefer to remain inside the city, fearing these terrible violations.
She also described the deteriorating conditions in Umm Rawaba, where life has become increasingly difficult due to the power station’s failure. The city is experiencing a severe drinking water crisis and deteriorating communication services because of the power outage. An activist mentioned that movement on the Umm Rawaba Al-Abbasiya road has stopped due to the RSF’s control over the area.

The Rapid Support Militia bombed the Southern Hospital and the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in El Fasher, killing patients and medical personnel at Wad Al Noura Clinic in Al Jazeera State.
Ibrahim Abdullah, Director General of the Ministry of Health in North Darfur, reported that he and some of his colleagues were attacked by the RSF during their assault on the Southern Hospital. The militia stole sums of money representing 60% of the workers’ salaries, looted medicines, and sabotaged ministry cars. Patients at the Southern Hospital were liquidated, and several accompanying individuals were kidnapped.
The Preliminary Committee of the Medical Syndicate confirmed in a statement that the RSF’s storming of the Southern El Fasher Hospital involved looting, capturing patients’ companions, and attacking citizens and workers.
Eyewitnesses also confirmed that the RSF fired a rocket at Al-Fasher Specialized Hospital for Obstetrics and Gynecology in June 2024, injuring nine passers-by near the hospital, three of whom were in critical condition.
They confirmed that the missile caused damage to the hospital’s main water tank, as well as to part of the solar energy system, an electricity transformer, and a heat generator. The explosion also shattered glass throughout the hospital facilities.
Sudanese media reported that Wad Al Noura Clinic in Al Jazeera State was subjected to a treacherous attack by the Rapid Support Militia, resulting in the deaths of two doctors, one of whom was preparing to perform a caesarean section, for one of the women in the village.

RSF’s Attempted Control of El Fasher
The Rapid Support Forces Militia is attempting to control the city of El Fasher to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide that began in Western Darfur.
On May 18, 2024, reports revealed “20” attacks on civilians from the Zaghawa tribe by the RSF in the villages surrounding El Fasher.
The website stated that the RSF and its allied militias launched these attacks as revenge against the head of the Sudan Movement, Minni Arko Minawi, and the leader of the Justice and Equality Movement, Jibril Ibrahim, who are fighting alongside the army.
An escalation in attacks by the ethnic RSF is expected, given that the Zaghawa communities are strongholds of the Minawi movement, and the tribe’s native administration has declared war on the RSF. However, the militia might abandon its efforts if the battles in El Fasher exhaust its capacity.
A UN official announced that civilians are being targeted and killed in El Fasher because of their skin color, race, or identity.
Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations on the Prevention of Genocide, stated that the current situation in Sudan shows all the signs of a potential genocide, with strong allegations of this crime. According to Radio Tamazuj, Nderitu explained that civilians are unprotected and are being targeted in El Fasher, Darfur, because of their skin color, race, and identity, amid the spread of hate speech and direct incitement to violence.
On May 24, 2024, the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) issued an urgent appeal to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate and prosecute the RSF for its widespread sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in El Fasher, North Darfur.
The regional women’s organization condemned the brutal attacks on civilians by the RSF and its allied militias, calling on the Security Council and the African Union to take concrete steps to protect civilians, especially women targeted by the paramilitary force. SIHA urged the ICC to investigate and prosecute crimes of sexual violence, gender-based violence, and other human rights violations committed by the RSF against women, girls, and civilian populations throughout this conflict. The RSF’s brutal attacks have spared neither children nor hospitals.
On May 24, 2024, activists reported to Reuters that tens of thousands fled their homes in a camp in the Sudanese city of El Fasher after a raid by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which were fighting to control the city.
Local residents stated that the RSF attacked and looted the massive Abu Shouk camp, killing an unknown number of people and wounding at least 13 others.
On June 11, 2024, at least 35 civilians were killed in El Fasher due to violent artillery shelling carried out by the RSF on various neighborhoods of the city.
The Darfur Victims Organization reported on the “X” platform that eight young volunteers in a charity kitchen in the Timbasi neighborhood were killed when a shell fired by the RSF hit the area.
A medical source noted that the health situation in the city has worsened since the Southern Hospital in El Fasher went out of service and the Sayyid Al-Shuhada Center lacked essential medical supplies. Victims of the artillery shelling are being transferred to the army’s medical corps, while others are being treated at home.
On June 4, 2024, the RSF assassinated nine people on an ethnic basis as they were traveling from El Fasher to Mellit.
Muhammad Jeddo, a relative of one of the victims, told Sudan Tribune that an RSF force in the northern part of the city of El Fasher stopped a vehicle carrying several citizens on their way to Melit – about 65 kilometers north of El Fasher – after the increase in the scope of armed confrontations, and ordered nine young men to get out, and shot them in front of their families, killing them on the spot. Jeddo believed that the targeting was based on ethnicity.

At the same time when refugees are suffering from harsh humanitarian conditions in the forests of Ethiopia and others are being bombed by the RSF in Abu Shouk camp, a recent UNHCR report shows a record high in displacement levels in Sudan.
The UNHCR reported that new conflicts around the world have led to forced displacement, with the conflict in Sudan, which erupted in April 2023, causing one of the largest humanitarian crises. More than 6 million people have been displaced within Sudan, and another 1.2 million have fled to neighboring countries.
Simultaneously, Ethiopian authorities detained 6,080 Sudanese citizens in the Olala forests, located in the Amhara region, after they were forcibly displaced due to RSF violations in Sudan. The Ethiopian authorities detained the refugees in forests near the UN’s Olala camp, preventing them from traveling to the city of Qandar, which was 200 kilometers away on foot.
The refugees, including children, women, the elderly, and people with special needs, are all present inside the forest, facing extremely complex conditions and violations by local militias.
On June 7, 2024,
Four displaced persons were killed in Abu Shouk camp, north of El Fasher, North Darfur State, in artillery shelling by the RSF. Among the dead were three children.
The Abu Shouk camp emergency room stated on its Facebook page that the RSF bombed the camp, leading to the death of four displaced people, including Professor Hassan Hussein Ali Rahma, director of the Molook Al Tanmiya Basic Private School, and two children: Muzamil Muhammad Adam Al-Nour, 14 years old, and Moatasem Fadl Muhammad Abdel-Mumen, 12 years old.

Beam Post Investigation Highlights RSF Violations in Ardamta, Western Darfur
May 26, 2024 – An in-depth journalistic investigation by the Sudanese Archive, reviewed by Beam Reports, has shed light on the crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the Masalit ethnicity in the Ardamta locality of El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur State. This followed the RSF’s seizure of the leadership of the 15th Division of the Sudanese army on the morning of November 4, last year.
The investigation, published in early May, included a thorough analysis of content available on the Internet showing attacks on detainees following the RSF’s invasion of El Geneina, specifically targeting the Masalit ethnicity.
The Sudanese Archive explained that it conducted the investigation using open sources, eyewitness testimonies, and victim families’ accounts. It verified the authenticity of 289 video clips, photos, and reports published online, which included allegations of murder, disappearance, and assault.
The events detailed in the investigation took place within the Ardamta locality in El Geneina, involving the 15th Infantry Division of the Sudanese Army.
According to the investigation, the RSF detained members of the Sudanese army and citizens of Ardamta since the morning of November 4. The investigation confirmed that social media platforms reported some detainees were killed and buried in mass graves. Videos and reports from Ardamta showed detainees being whipped, beaten, kicked, verbally insulted, and threatened with death.
Comparing videos with Satellite Images
To further clarify what occurred in Ardamta at the hands of the RSF, the Sudanese Archive compared circulating videos with satellite images.
The investigation also matched the locations of shadows in the videos with the position of the sun at the times mentioned in the clips. Seven locations were identified in and around the 15th Infantry Division, on the road leading to Ardamta, and on the Ardamta Bridge, where the RSF arrested children, members of the Sudanese army, and civilians.
Video clips examined by the Sudanese Archive showed, in two specific locations, detainees being flogged, kicked, and stabbed with bayonets. RSF soldiers posted videos of themselves insulting detainees with offensive words and threatening them with death while forcing them to run, according to the investigation.
Grave Violations Against Children
At the same time, a report issued by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Sudan (OCHA) on December 7, 2023, stated that grave violations had been reported against children detained by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Ardamta.
According to the Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism on Serious Violations against Children, 80 children were identified among the detainees.
However, the report suggests that the actual number of children in detention may be higher, as there are multiple detention facilities within El Geneina.
Reports also indicate that the condition of detainees is dire, with more than 700 people, including children, arrested by the RSF who have not been released.
The former United Nations Integrated Mission to Support the Transitional Phase in Sudan (UNITAMS) held the RSF responsible for what it described as “serious human rights violations” in Ardamta.

Kidnapping and Assassination Crimes in RSF Detention Centers: Recent Statistics
On June 10, 2024, the management of the Resistance and Change Committees in Halfaya Al-Muluk in Khartoum Bahri reported that the RSF had been committing crimes of house searches and forced disappearances for three consecutive days.
The management stated, “The reality for the people in Halfaya has turned into a real nightmare, due to their exposure to brutal abuse that has nothing to do with humanity from the RSF.”
They pointed out that citizens witnessed “horrific scenes of beatings and dragging of defenseless people, along with random searches of homes, accompanied by unjustified arbitrary arrests and forced disappearances.”
Activists view the crimes of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the residents of the areas they invade as systematic violations. These forces have been destroying livelihoods and water sources in some regions, and looting property, including household furniture, in other places.
The management revealed that the only market in Halfaya was closed for several days, exacerbating “the bitterness of hunger and its impact on those who live day-to-day.”
On June 8, 2024, the RSF assassinated a volunteer activist under torture inside its detention centers in the town of Kobkabiya in North Darfur state.
Citizens in the region continue to accuse the RSF of widespread violations and crimes against civilians, including murder, illegal detention, looting, and imposing exorbitant sums of money on merchants.
Musa Mukhtar, a relative of the deceased, told Sudan Tribune that “the RSF arrested volunteer activist Abdel-Rahman Al-Hadi Adlan, along with other citizens in Kobkabiya, and detained them in a facility affiliated with the RSF intelligence. Later, his body was delivered to his family.”
Mukhtar noted that Adlan was stabbed with a sharp object, flogged with whips, and had his neck broken by his jailers.
He held the RSF fully responsible for the crime and demanded accountability for those involved in Adlan’s assassination and an end to violations against civilians.
Meanwhile, the Wad Medani Resistance Committees, in the capital of Gezira State, reported that the RSF killed journalist Makkawi Muhammad Ahmed, who worked for the Sudan News Agency (SUNA), and his brother Shams al-Din while they were defending their village, Wad al-Noura, west of al-Manaqil, 24 al-Qurashi.
Sudanese media agencies also reported the assassination of journalist Muawiyah Abdel Razzaq and three of his family members in their home in Al-Droshab, Khartoum, by the RSF. The RSF continues its crimes against the people.
Additionally, journalist Youssef Othman Taha Abdel Hakam, affiliated with the Media Center for the Defense Industries System, was assassinated inside the RSF detention centers in Soba.
The rebel militia has consistently targeted journalists and media professionals with killing, arrest, torture, and kidnapping.
In a grave violation of human rights, a force affiliated with the Rapid Support militia raided the home of Professor Al-Moez Abbas Muhammad Saleh, member of the Executive Council and President of the Sudanese Athletics Federation, and kidnapped him to an unknown location.
The Sudanese Olympic Committee strongly condemned this action by the militia, highlighting their assault on athletes. The committee holds the militia fully responsible for Al-Moez Abbas’s safety and demands his immediate release.
In response, the Sudanese Olympic Committee has addressed the International Olympic Committee and the Union of African Olympic Committees, both of which condemned the incident. These organizations have begun to engage relevant international bodies to ensure Professor Al-Moez Abbas’s safety and secure his immediate release.

The Omdurman morgue and hospital were sterilized in preparation for transporting bodies, and the Khartoum International Channel was also sterilized, according to the police press office. - Completion of Maintenance of the largest drinking water transmission line in Omdurman and Karari
Maintenance has been completed on the largest drinking water transmission line from Al-Qamayer station to the old Omdurman and northern neighborhoods of Al-Thawra. The break, located on Al-Wadi Street in front of the main gate of the Ahmed Sharafi graves, had delayed repairs for over a year due to the war.
Ahmed Othman Hamza, Governor of Khartoum oversaw the completion of the work and praised the Khartoum Water Authority workers for their success despite challenging conditions. The state made significant efforts to provide necessary materials for the conveyor line, despite the war and shortage of pipes and spare parts.
Engineer Muhammad Ali Al-Ajab, Director of the Khartoum State Water Authority, explained that the conveyor line is a critical infrastructure for transporting water from Al-Qamayer station and will provide a long-term solution to the water problem. He apologized to the citizens affected by the service interruption during maintenance and assured them of improved water supply stability, as reported by Khartoum State media.
