On Sunday, the Sudanese army bombed the city of Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, with barrel bombs, targeting a number of residential areas and neighborhoods, killing dozens of civilians – including children and women – and wounding hundreds, in horrific scenes of charred bodies.
The RSF condemned the incident, saying in a statement on Sunday: “Bombing innocent citizens with barrel bombs is a criminal behavior that resembles the actions of this gang and its long history of killing and destroying the Sudanese people and reveals their intentions to exterminate people on an ethnic and regional basis.”

The statement reads: “The bombing of citizens with barrel bombs and internationally banned weapons requires condemnation, denunciation and investigation by all international, regional and local bodies related to human rights, genocide and crimes against humanity.”

The statement continued: “We are more determined than ever to end the tyranny of this failed gang over our citizens and our country, and together we will get rid of criminals and terrorists forever in order to build Sudan on new and just foundations that lift injustice and marginalization from all Sudanese peoples.”
