Sudanese Paramilitary Forces Kill 56 Civilians in Darfur as Conflict Intensifies

The Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) regain control of Um Kadadah, executing dozens and targeting refugee camps in a brutal escalation of violence.

At least 56 civilians were executed by FSR forces over two days in Um Kadadah, Darfur, following their recapture of the town.
The FSR has intensified its offensive, targeting displaced persons in refugee camps near El-Facher with bombings and combat vehicles.
Communication networks in the region remain cut off, further isolating affected communities and hampering humanitarian efforts.
The conflict, which began in April 2023, has led to tens of thousands of deaths and displaced over 12 million people, marking one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history.
Reports from Amnesty International highlight widespread human rights abuses by the FSR, including forced displacements and sexual violence aimed at consolidating power.
