An exclusive, multilingual digital publication meticulously devoted to cataloguing and exposing the monstrous crimes perpetrated by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the Sudanese populace. Presented in three languages, this authoritative resource stands as an indispensable reference for regional and international organisations and mechanisms dedicated to safeguarding human rights on a global scale.
Issue “23” – March 2025.
PrologueOn 12 February 2025, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning the terrorist Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, asserting that, emboldened by its regional influence, it is intensifying a genocidal campaign against the majority of Darfur’s citizens. The Ministry further disclosed that the militia has been orchestrating a relentless and systematic assault on the Zamzam camp for displaced persons near El Fasher, meticulously documenting the brutality of its own actions.
The Ministry declared that the RSF militia had escalated its criminal aggression through a direct ground assault on Zamzam camp, following what it deemed the international community’s indifference to its continued daily bombardment of the camp with heavy artillery since December 2024. This assault resulted in a massive loss of civilian lives among the displaced population. Furthermore, the Ministry underscored that the killers deliberately targeted displaced individuals from specific tribal groups while simultaneously blocking escape routes for those attempting to flee the slaughter, mirroring the heinous tactics employed by the militia in Al-Jineina and Ardamta in June 2023. In addition to these targeted killings, the militia set fire to markets, food and water depots, and primary healthcare facilities before forcing a withdrawal, exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe.
Meanwhile, United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator Clementine Nkuwa Salami expressed shock and condemnation over the assault on Zamzam camp and the militia’s deliberate closure of the camp’s exit routes. In a post on X, Salami warned that these actions gravely endanger civilian lives, particularly amid critical shortages of medical treatment for the injured. She further reported that, according to available accounts, the displaced are fleeing from Zamzam to other parts of El Fasher, seeking refuge in open areas and abandoned houses.
Additionally, the World Food Programme (WFP) revealed that the militia had detained food convoys en route to Zamzam for weeks before forcibly redirecting them to alternate destinations, reinforcing the assertion that the militia’s actions constitute an orchestrated attempt at genocide.
Al Hakika, a Sudanese investigative platform dedicated to documenting the atrocities committed by the RSF militia, detailed in its 23rd issue some of the most egregious crimes against the Sudanese people. The report outlines a pattern of systematic violence, including targeted missile strikes on displaced persons’ camps, shelters, and markets, deliberate assaults on power stations exacerbating humanitarian suffering, and premeditated massacres in the villages of Al-Jazeera, White Nile, and Khartoum, where dozens of civilians have been executed. It further exposes the destruction of the Al-Jazeera project and the wholesale pillaging of livestock and poultry, as well as targeted attacks on healthcare facilities resulting in the deaths of dozens of critically ill patients. The report highlights the ethnically driven violence in North Darfur, in defiance of a United Nations Security Council resolution mandating the cessation of hostilities and the lifting of the siege on El Fasher.
Moreover, Al Hakika has unveiled harrowing evidence of widespread sexual violence, documenting the plight of victims and corroborating war crimes through research conducted by American forensic laboratories in North Darfur.

The relentless and systematic assault on the Zamzam camp for displaced persons continues to imperil the lives of thousands of innocent civilians. On 11 February 2025, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia launched a violent and indiscriminate attack on the Zamzam camp in North Darfur, committing widespread violations against the displaced population and forcing thousands into a reverse displacement toward El Fasher.
Since early December 2024, the RSF militia has persistently targeted Zamzam camp, located approximately 12 kilometres southwest of El Fasher, with an extensive barrage of long-range artillery shells. These relentless attacks have resulted in the deaths of dozens of displaced individuals and have driven thousands to flee, leaving behind their homes and meagre belongings.
The Governor of Darfur State, Mani Arko Manawi, denounced the assault in a Facebook post, declaring that “the Zamzam camp has been desecrated by the Rapid Support Forces militia.” He vehemently condemned the attack and urged the United Nations and the African Union to pressure state sponsors of terrorism and genocide to withdraw their support for the militia’s brutal campaign.
Médecins Sans Frontières expressed profound alarm over the safety of its personnel and the hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals who are already enduring constant bombardment, starvation, and lack of medical assistance within the camp.
Meanwhile, United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator Clementine Nkuwa Salami expressed shock and outrage over the deliberate targeting of Zamzam camp and the RSF militia’s forcible closure of its exit routes, trapping civilians under horrific conditions. In a statement on X, Salami warned that these actions severely endanger civilian lives, particularly as critical shortages of medical aid persist. She further reported that displaced individuals are fleeing Zamzam, seeking shelter in open spaces and abandoned houses in other parts of El Fasher.
Rapid Support Forces Militia Targets Power Stations, Endangering Hospital Patients and National Infrastructure
On 13 January 2025, the RSF militia executed a calculated assault on Sudan’s largest electricity generation facility, the Merowe Dam, deploying suicide weaponry in an effort to cripple the nation’s power infrastructure. The militia extended its destructive campaign to the Shouk and Dongola power stations, as well as Al-Markheyat and Umm Dabaker, causing a nationwide blackout and widespread disruptions.
This premeditated attack constitutes a fully realised war crime, as the militia continues its deliberate dismantling of Sudan’s state institutions, infrastructure, and economic, educational, and cultural foundations, all within the framework of its broader genocidal agenda.
As a direct consequence of these targeted assaults, hundreds of critically ill hospital patients are now at grave risk of death due to power outages that have rendered essential life-supporting medical equipment inoperable. Additionally, the cessation of potable water supplies has further exacerbated the dire humanitarian situation.
Condemning the RSF militia’s actions, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit denounced the destruction of vital civilian infrastructure in Merowe, highlighting the substantial damage inflicted upon power transformers linking the dam to the national grid. He described the attack as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, which strictly prohibits the targeting of infrastructure critical to civilian survival.
Former U.S. envoy Tom Perello further condemned the RSF militia’s drone strikes on the Merowe Dam, describing the facility as a vital energy source for homes, hospitals, and schools. He referenced the Second Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, which mandates special protection for dams due to their essential role in sustaining civilian populations. Emphasising the severity of the situation, Perello demanded an immediate cessation of these indiscriminate and catastrophic attacks.
New Ethnic Cleansing Atrocities Committed by the RSF Militia in North Darfur
The Sudan Doctors Network has revealed yet another chilling episode of ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the RSF militia, confirming the deliberate execution of 17 individuals, including six children and two pregnant women, in the Al-Kurnuk neighbourhood of El Fasher, North Darfur.
The network warned of an intensified campaign of ethnic and tribal targeting across El Fasher, where the RSF militia has been systematically hunting down and executing civilians, particularly women and children, within their homes and in the shelters where they had sought refuge.
Meanwhile, an additional 18 individuals were slaughtered and 27 others wounded, including children, women, and elderly civilians, following a devastating RSF militia attack on the villages of Tourandi and Shaqrat in North Darfur.
The Sudan Doctors Network further stated that the ethnically motivated killings in North Darfur mirror the RSF militia’s systematic atrocities in Al-Jineina, West Darfur, where their ruthless campaign has led to mass displacement across Darfur’s states and into Chad.
Expressing deep alarm over the ongoing attacks on civilians, villages, and displacement camps—including the latest massacre at Zamzam camp, which shelters thousands of defenseless civilians—the network urged the international community to take decisive action. It called for an immediate intervention to halt the atrocities, lift the siege on besieged populations, and enforce international resolutions mandating an end to the assault on El Fasher.

Continuation of Its Bloody Crimes: The Popular Movement, Halou Wing, Bombards Markets and Displacement Shelters in South Kordofan
On 4 February 2025, Sudanese authorities confirmed that 44 civilians were killed and 28 others wounded in a brutal assault orchestrated by the Popular Movement, led by Abdul Aziz Al-Halou, on Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan in southern Sudan.
The Sudanese Government Spokesperson Platform reported that the Popular Movement/Northern—Abdul Aziz Al-Halou Wing launched a ruthless artillery bombardment on the city of Kadugli, resulting in mass civilian casualties, including children and women. The statement added that preliminary figures indicate 44 martyrs and 28 wounded, among them Nizar Muhammad Tom, the imam and khateeb of the historic Kadugli Mosque.
Meanwhile, the Governor of South Kordofan, Mohammed Ibrahim Abdul Karim, strongly condemned the atrocity, denouncing the indiscriminate shelling of civilians by the Popular Movement, which led to significant loss of life and injuries.
Militia Targets Healthcare Facilities – United Nations Condemns and WHO Warns
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stern condemnation of the deliberate attack on the Saudi Hospital in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur in western Sudan. In a written statement from the Office of the UN Spokesperson, it was revealed that more than 70 people were killed in this heinous assault, which targeted the only operational hospital in Darfur.
Guterres vehemently denounced the attack, reaffirming the imperative of upholding international humanitarian law and warning that targeting medical facilities constitutes a war crime. He called for the immediate prosecution of those responsible and urged all parties to end hostilities and work towards a lasting peace in Sudan.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), echoed these concerns, demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities against healthcare centres and medical personnel in Sudan. He denounced the drone strike carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, which claimed the lives of more than 70 individuals and injured dozens more at Saudi Hospital in El Fasher, North Darfur’s capital.
In a statement on X, Tedros stressed that Saudi Hospital is the only remaining medical facility providing critical healthcare services, including obstetrics, internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, and therapeutic nutrition support. He reiterated WHO’s call for an end to all attacks on Sudan’s healthcare sector and demanded that full measures be taken to restore damaged medical infrastructure without delay.
Meanwhile, the Sudan Doctors Network revealed that six individuals were killed and 37 others wounded as a result of the RSF militia’s deliberate shelling of Al-Nu Hospital, branding the assault a blatant violation of international laws that prohibit attacks on medical and civilian facilities.
The network also condemned the assassination of Dr Muawiya Muhammad Ahmed Diqash, a prominent radiologist at Khartoum Teaching Hospital, who was executed by a unit of the RSF militia in the Arkwit area, Block 61. The statement detailed that Dr Muawiya, a dedicated physician known for his service to the Sudanese people, had been previously detained and released multiple times before being summarily executed without justification. The Sudan Doctors Network asserted that his cold-blooded killing represents a flagrant violation of humanitarian principles and international laws designed to protect medical personnel in conflict zones.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) also reported that RSF militia elements stormed Bashayer Hospital in mid-January 2025, threatening medical personnel and opening fire within the hospital premises. This brazen attack forced the suspension of life-saving treatments, endangering the lives of critically ill patients. Bashayer Hospital remains one of the few operational medical centres in southern Khartoum, yet it has been subjected to repeated assaults by the RSF militia, including a previous attack in November 2024, when a patient receiving treatment was executed by RSF gunfire.
According to official local reports, the RSF militia has systematically looted medical facilities and pharmacies in the Wad Rawah area in eastern Al-Jazeera, following a violent assault on the region that resulted in mass displacement. The militia-affiliated forces pillaged homes, stole medical supplies, torched medical facilities, and ransacked local pharmacies and the central market, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

United Nations Accuses the Rapid Support Forces Militia of Blocking Humanitarian Aid and Worsening the Crisis in Darfur
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Sudan (OCHA) has issued a stark warning regarding the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Darfur, revealing that systematic obstructions continue to paralyse relief efforts. OCHA reported that the Sudanese Relief and Humanitarian Operations Agency, operating under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, is deliberately imposing bureaucratic hurdles that cripple the delivery of life-saving aid to civilians in desperate need.
The UN office stressed that these calculated restrictions are deliberately obstructing the timely provision of urgent relief, reiterating that the denial of essential humanitarian assistance to suffering populations is utterly indefensible. OCHA called for immediate protection of humanitarian workers and the safeguarding of their operations and assets, ensuring they can operate without intimidation, coercion, or interference. It also reaffirmed its willingness to engage with all parties in good faith to guarantee that aid reaches the most vulnerable civilians trapped in conflict zones.
United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator Clementine Nkuwa Salami confirmed that the RSF militia is actively preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid, not only through the imposition of convoluted bureaucratic restrictions but also by directly interfering in logistics, coercing relief organisations to engage solely with RSF-affiliated entities. This calculated obstruction, she warned, deliberately intensifies the suffering of besieged populations, weaponising humanitarian assistance as a tool of control and deprivation.
Simultaneously, informed sources within the United Nations confirmed that 40 humanitarian aid trucks en route from the Adari crossing to the Zamzam camp for displaced persons were intercepted, detained, and forcibly diverted by the RSF militia to the city of Nyala. A UN source described this action as a deliberate attempt to manufacture a humanitarian catastrophe, strategically starving civilians and exposing them to disease and epidemics.
The same sources further revealed that the convoy was subjected to additional inspection, despite having already undergone clearance in Al-Jineina, in a flagrant violation of humanitarian principles. These actions, they affirmed, are part of a systematic RSF strategy to obstruct humanitarian aid, ensuring that relief does not reach civilians beyond RSF-controlled zones while redirecting it to areas under militia influence. This practice, they warned, constitutes a serious breach of international humanitarian law, amounting to crimes against humanity.

American Laboratory: The Rapid Support Forces Militia Conducted Systematic Attacks on 105 Settlements in North Darfur
Washington, 6 February 2025 – The Yale University Humanitarian Affairs Laboratory has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia of orchestrating a systematic campaign of destruction across 105 settlements in North Darfur over a ten-month period, with 70 of these targeted villages located within a 70-kilometre radius of El Fasher.
The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) reported that 95 separate attacks occurred in North Darfur between 1 April 2024 and 31 January 2025, resulting in the sudden displacement of 605,000 people. The Yale laboratory’s findings further confirmed that from 31 March 2024 to 4 February 2025, settlements in El Fasher, Dar Al-Salam, Tawila, and Katam were subjected to coordinated assaults by the RSF militia, with devastating consequences for civilian populations.
The report highlighted that the deliberate burning of villages has led to widespread casualties, mass displacement, the destruction of livelihoods, and forced, repeated rebuilding by vulnerable communities, deepening long-term instability in the region. It emphasised that the villages in Tawila and south of Zamzam camp had served as crucial shelters and escape routes for those fleeing El Fasher, and their destruction has further isolated displaced populations, compounding the humanitarian emergency.
Satellite imagery analysed by the Yale laboratory confirmed the presence of thermal scars consistent with the deliberate burning of 23 villages in El Fasher, Dar Al-Salam, and Tawila between 11 December 2024 and 4 February 2025. The report identified that six settlements in the Khizan Qolo area and two communities south of Zamzam camp were directly attacked by RSF forces, while additional assaults targeted Abu Zariqa village in Dar Al-Salam locality.
In recent days, the RSF militia has seized control of the Khizan Qolo reservoir, a critical source of drinking water for El Fasher, raising serious concerns over further retaliatory attacks on villages in North Darfur. Given the recent deployment of additional RSF reinforcements to the region, fears are mounting that the militia will escalate its campaign of destruction, as the Sudanese Army, joint forces, and local defence units continue to fortify El Fasher against RSF incursions.

UNICEF Reports 600 Violations Against Children in Sudan Over Six Months
Edward Beigbeder, Regional Director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for the Middle East, has revealed that 600 recorded incidents of violence against children took place in Sudan during the latter half of 2024, with 80% involving killing and maiming.
In an official statement, Beigbeder stated, “As the conflict spread to new areas between June and December, over 600 incidents of grave violations against children were reported, 80% of which involved killing and maiming, particularly in Darfur, Kordofan, and Khartoum.”
On 13 February 2025, UNICEF issued a dire warning that hundreds of thousands of children are now at extreme risk as hostilities escalate in El Fasher, Zamzam camp, and surrounding areas in North Darfur.
Meanwhile, Eva Hinds, Head of Advocacy and Communications at UNICEF Sudan, confirmed that the number of severe violations against children has exceeded 900 cases. She stated, “Killing and maiming account for 80% of these incidents, particularly in Darfur, Khartoum, and Al-Jazeera, between June and December of last year.”

$300 Million in Initial Losses for Al-Jazeera Project
The Governor of the Al-Jazeera Project, Engineer Ibrahim Mustafa, has disclosed that the initial financial losses sustained by the project as a result of destruction inflicted by the rebel militia have now reached $300 million. He further confirmed that all necessary legal measures have been taken in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General to pursue accountability for these losses.
During a press briefing in early February, the governor announced that the project has devised a comprehensive reconstruction plan and is preparing to hold a strategic workshop to outline its short-, medium-, and long-term recovery vision. The workshop will focus on project laws and regulations, irrigation concerns, governance frameworks, and other critical issues, underscoring the political and financial commitment to reviving the Al-Jazeera Project.
Meanwhile, the Al-Jazeera Conference Platform, a voluntary monitoring group, has reported that the RSF militia has systematically looted the livestock sector in Al-Jazeera State.
According to the platform’s latest report on the deliberate destruction of Al-Jazeera’s livestock industry, the total livestock population was previously estimated at 11 million head, of which over 60% has been deliberately annihilated. The platform placed the market value of the livestock—at its lowest estimate—at $5.831 billion, a figure that excludes the poultry sector.
The report further stated that total livestock losses amounted to approximately $3.499 billion, while poultry farms were entirely destroyed and looted, resulting in a catastrophic 100% loss. It highlighted that livestock production in Greater Madani and South Al-Jazeera localities primarily consists of high-value hybrid dairy breeds, yet the RSF militia has waged a systematic campaign to eliminate Al-Jazeera’s livestock sector, decimating one of Sudan’s most vital agricultural and economic assets.

Over 550 Sudanese Women Raped by the Rapid Support Forces Militia – Harrowing Accounts of Survivors’ Plight
In early January 2025, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that a Sudanese government official confirmed authorities had received over 550 reports of rapes committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia since the war began in April 2023.
The revelation, disclosed by Salima Ishaq Khalifa, head of the Governmental Unit for Combating Violence Against Women, came as the United States formally accused the RSF militia of committing systematic rape and other forms of sexual violence throughout the conflict. Khalifa told AFP that her agency had documented 554 cases of rape perpetrated by RSF fighters between April 2023 and December 2024.
She emphasised that this figure is based on reports from mental health specialists assisting rape survivors in medical facilities, cautioning that the actual number of victims is likely far higher. Many areas, she explained, have been completely cut off from communication, while fear of social stigma prevents many survivors from coming forward.
Between September 2023 and April 2024, Sudanese authorities approved 36 abortions for women raped by RSF members, the majority occurring in Khartoum. More recently, 10 abortions were performed for displaced women from Al-Jazeera State, following a series of brutal RSF attacks targeting civilians in the region.
Under Sudanese law, abortion requires legal approval and is permitted only in cases of rape, non-viable pregnancies, or life-threatening medical complications.
Shocking Testimonies from a Sudanese Gynaecologist
Dr Hanaa bin Awf, a gynaecologist at the Ministry of Health in Al-Qadarif and a volunteer in violence against women cases, has exposed shocking realities concerning the suffering of female war survivors who were raped by the RSF militia.
Dr Hanaa recounted the horrific conditions faced by displaced sexual violence survivors, painting a grim picture of psychological, physical, and social devastation.
“More than 100 rape survivors have visited my clinic for treatment,” she revealed. “Tragically, some have taken their own lives, while others have attempted suicide.”
She warned of the severe and lasting repercussions of sexual violence, including depression, anxiety, self-blame, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and profound fear and isolation.
During a paper she presented at a media advocacy workshop on violence against women and children, organised by the Ministry of Health and Social Development in cooperation with Plan International Sudan, Dr Hanaa underscored the urgent need to combat the stigma surrounding sexual violence survivors. She stressed the importance of ensuring survivors have access to medical, psychological, and social support services, as well as the need for comprehensive treatment facilities.
Dr Hanaa explained that the Ministry of Health’s referral program ensures confidentiality and privacy in handling cases. She further highlighted the critical need for immediate intervention for gender-based violence survivors, including wound care, prevention of sexually transmitted infections, and psychological trauma treatment.
New Wave of Sexual Violence in Omdurman
On 15 February 2025, volunteers in Omdurman, west of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, reported a new surge in sexual violence, revealing that 21 cases of rape committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia had been registered across three districts in the Umbada locality.
A member of the Umbada Emergency Room told Sudan Tribune that the Women’s Affairs Office had documented these 21 cases of rape between October 2024 and February 2025.
She further disclosed that most of the victims were under the age of 20 and had been evacuated to safe areas for medical and psychological treatment. However, she noted that the majority of survivors refused to pursue legal action due to grave security concerns and fear of social stigma, further underscoring the climate of fear and impunity surrounding such crimes.

Rapid Support Forces Militia Commits Another Massacre in Al-Qutaynah, Death Toll Reaches 433
On 17 February 2025, in yet another escalation of its atrocities against unarmed civilians, the Rapid Support Forces militia carried out a massacre in Al-Qutaynah, White Nile State, raising the death toll to 433.
The RSF militia not only slaughtered civilians but also perpetrated widespread forced displacement, mass rapes, and the abduction of women and girls, further compounding the horrific humanitarian crisis engulfing the region.

The “Blood Conference” in Addis Ababa – A UAE Whitewashing Attempt
On 14 February 2025, Salwa Adam, Sudan’s Humanitarian Aid Commissioner, exposed a controversial conference held on the sidelines of the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, which was organised and funded by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
This ostensibly humanitarian conference, which claimed to address Sudan’s escalating crisis, was attended by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, outgoing African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki, and representatives from neighbouring countries. However, Adam categorically denounced the gathering as a politically motivated exercise, necessitating a clear and urgent clarification of its implications.
She declared that Sudan’s unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe is a direct result of the war waged by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, which has systematically bombed hospitals and schools, displaced civilians, committed widespread sexual violence and rape, and looted humanitarian aid warehouses, including repeated attacks on World Food Programme storage facilities.
Adam placed direct blame on the UAE, holding it responsible for exacerbating the Sudanese crisis through its continued financial and military support for the RSF militia, making it a complicit actor in the war against Sudan. She condemned the UAE’s manipulation of humanitarian aid to launder its international image, stating, “Using the suffering of the Sudanese people to sanitise the UAE’s reputation and conceal its complicity in war crimes is a flagrant act of deception. It effectively grants the UAE institutional immunity, allowing it to persist in violating international law and UN Security Council Resolution 2736, which explicitly demands the lifting of the siege on El Fasher and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.”
She strongly criticised Guterres for failing to uphold Resolution 2736, highlighting that the RSF militia has completely ignored the directive and continues to perpetrate heinous atrocities in Zamzam camp. According to Adam, the UN Secretary-General should have prioritised enforcing the resolution to halt the war in Sudan, thereby preserving the legitimacy of the UN, particularly in ensuring adherence to the international arms embargo on Darfur.
“This regrettable participation only serves to legitimise the UAE’s aggression against the Sudanese people,” she added.
Adam further condemned the participation of both Guterres and Faki, declaring that their endorsement of the UAE as a humanitarian actor is disgraceful and directly enables Abu Dhabi to continue fueling Sudan’s humanitarian crisis while simultaneously supplying weapons to the RSF militia.
“These platforms and events serve as a smokescreen to conceal the UAE’s bloody record in Sudan,” she declared.
She also denounced the politicisation of humanitarian aid, citing the presence of Sudanese political figures aligned with both the RSF and the UAE, alongside organisations falsely presented as neutral actors, as clear evidence of how humanitarian assistance is being manipulated for political gain.
This exploitation of aid, she warned, further complicates Sudan’s humanitarian crisis, turning life-saving relief into a bargaining tool within an already volatile conflict.
Meanwhile, Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed a proposal from African Union member states to formally condemn the RSF militia’s rebellion against the Sudanese government.
The ministry expressed profound appreciation for the unwavering support of Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Eritrea, Tunisia, Mali, Somalia, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Burundi, Mauritania, and Botswana, which stand firmly with Sudan, its government, and its armed forces while endorsing Sudan’s roadmap for establishing a transitional civilian government.

A Rogue Government in Kenya – Sudan Condemns and the UN Warns
On 18 February 2025, Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strong condemnation of Kenya’s decision to host the so-called “Political Charter” event, describing it as a prelude to establishing a parallel government led by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. The ministry denounced the move as an act of hostility against the Sudanese people and a grave violation of Sudan’s sovereignty.
The ceremony, held in Nairobi, marked the initial steps toward forming a political alliance between factions and armed groups aligned with the RSF, laying the groundwork for signing a political charter and constitutional arrangements, with the ultimate objective of creating a militia-controlled government in Sudanese territories under RSF occupation.
In an official statement, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry declared that Kenya’s actions directly contradict the highest-level assurances it had previously given to Sudan, wherein Nairobi had pledged not to allow anti-Sudanese activities on its soil. The ministry further categorised Kenya’s conduct as an open declaration of enmity against the Sudanese people.
The statement went on to accuse Kenya of actively encouraging the fragmentation of African states, violating national sovereignty, and interfering in the internal affairs of Sudan, in direct contravention of the UN Charter, the founding principles of the African Union, and international law. It warned that the establishment of a parallel government within Sudan’s borders constitutes a dangerous precedent that threatens regional stability.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Yusuf had previously alluded to a shift in Kenya’s position on Sudan, referencing a 26 January 2025 meeting with Kenyan President William Ruto in Nairobi. At the time, Ruto had reportedly assured Sudan that Kenya would not recognise any RSF-formed government within Sudanese territory.
However, the Sudanese Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Kenya’s subsequent reversal, accusing it of betraying its international commitments, including violations of the UN Charter and the Genocide Convention. By facilitating the signing of a political agreement with the RSF militia, a group implicated in ongoing genocide and ethnic massacres, Kenya had effectively legitimised and empowered a faction responsible for heinous war crimes.
“Harbouring the leaders of the Rapid Support Forces militia and allowing them to engage in open political propaganda while they continue committing genocide and massacres against civilians based on ethnicity is an endorsement of these atrocities and an act of complicity,” the statement declared.
The Sudanese government urged the international community to unequivocally denounce Kenya’s actions, emphasising that it would take all necessary measures to restore order and defend Sudan’s sovereignty.
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric echoed Sudan’s concerns, warning that reports of a parallel government being formed by the RSF pose an extreme threat to Sudan’s territorial integrity.
“If such a government is established, it will significantly increase the likelihood of Sudan’s fragmentation,” he cautioned.
Meanwhile, Kenyan media outlets launched a scathing critique of President William Ruto, describing his miscalculated diplomatic intervention in Sudanese affairs as “playing with fire.” Journalists and analysts across Kenya warned of severe consequences for Kenya’s own national interests, with critics asserting that Ruto’s reckless involvement risks drawing Kenya into a broader regional crisis.
