As the civil war in Sudan enters its 12th month, the humanitarian crisis deepens, with new testimony revealing the atrocities unfolding in the country.

Domestic rivalries and involvement of external players continue to exacerbate the situation, plunging Sudanese civilians into further despair.

Recent reports detail one of the worst atrocities of the year-long conflict: a large-scale massacre of civilians attempting to flee the violence. Sudanese journalist Saeed Abdullah, based in Johannesburg, discussed the dire situation during this morning’s Africa Report broadcast.

Abdullah revealed accusations against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of operating secret execution chambers in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

He described the horrors unfolding in various areas of Khartoum city, where the RSF is reportedly attempting to establish its own justice system, violating international law and perpetrating crimes against both the army and civilians.

The escalation of violence is not confined to Khartoum. In the west of Sudan, the conflict intensifies as the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continue to commit atrocities against civilians.

The city of Al-Fashir has become a battleground, with clashes between different army groups further endangering civilian lives and disrupting essential services, including healthcare.

The consequences of the conflict extend beyond Sudan’s borders, with neighbouring South Sudan bearing the brunt of the crisis.

Fuel shortages have forced the United Nations to halt food delivery, exacerbating an already dire situation where millions face food insecurity. The South Sudanese government’s imposition of tariffs and taxes on aid supplies has further complicated relief efforts, leaving thousands displaced and vulnerable.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has issued an urgent plea for warring parties to protect civilians and healthcare infrastructure.

Despite international commitments made, such as the Jeddah declaration, which aimed to safeguard civilian lives, the situation continues to deteriorate amidst a perceived lack of urgency from the international community.

Abdullah labels it a “forgotten war” as international attention wanes.
