Sudan’s Attorney General accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of using banned weapons, targeting civilians, and committing extensive human rights violations, including destruction of infrastructure and crimes against women and children.
On Monday, Sudan’s Attorney General, al-Fateh Tayfour, alleged that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had engaged in severe violations of international law, including the use of banned weapons like white phosphorus and extensive attacks on civilian infrastructure.
Speaking at a briefing in Port Sudan, Tayfour claimed the RSF had targeted over 540,000 civilian sites, destroying 80% of residential areas, incapacitating 250 hospitals—15 of which were reportedly repurposed for military use—and looting 126 banks. He further accused the RSF of causing $150 billion in damage to Sudan’s industrial infrastructure.
Tayfour detailed numerous human rights abuses, including the forced recruitment of 19,481 prison inmates and 10,900 child soldiers. He said the RSF’s actions led to the displacement of 15,400 children from schools and widespread violations against women, including rape and forced pregnancies. In Al Jazirah state, contaminated food reportedly led to 700 fatalities.
The Attorney General highlighted the looting of agricultural warehouses and the use of starvation tactics, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. He revealed that 31,000 legal cases have been filed against the RSF, with the possibility of trials in absentia for fugitives residing in six unnamed countries.
Separately, military sources reported that the Sudanese army advanced further into Khartoum Bahri, capturing strategic sites such as Shambat Square 15 and Weta mills. Clashes continued as RSF fighters held fortified positions, including the police towers.
The army is working to link its forces across Khartoum and break the siege on its headquarters, signaling ongoing efforts to regain control of critical areas. These developments follow months of escalating conflict that began in April, deeply affecting Sudan’s stability.
