Sudan: At least 200 killed in paramilitary attack

Feb 20, 2025

Khartoum [Sudan], February 20: Sudan's paramilitary forces launched a three-day assault near Khartoum, killing more than 200, the Emergency Lawyers network said Tuesday. The rights group said hundreds were injured or missing, and that hundreds had been subjected to "executions, kidnappings, forced disappearances and looting."
The lawyers' network said the paramilitaries shot at villagers as they were trying to cross the White Nile to escape, so some civilians may have drowned.
The army-backed government's foreign ministry said in total 433 people had been killed, including children.
"Some bodies are still lying in the street, and some were killed in their homes and no one can reach them," a medical source told AFP news agency, saying it was impossible to determine the actual death toll.
The rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary attacks targeted the villages of Al-Kadaris and Al-Khelwat in the White Nile state, 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of the capital.
The UN had received "horrifying reports that dozens of women were raped and hundreds of families were forced to flee," a spokesperson for Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
