Harare, (New Ziana) – Sudan on Friday accused rebel fighters of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia group of ‘escalating heinous atrocities committed against innocent civilians’, and expressed surprise at the world’s silence and indifference to the crimes.
The country is engulfed in a bitter civil war pitting the government, and the RSF, led by dissident general Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
The war, which has been running for years, has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced millions others, and destroyed homes, infrastructure and other property on a grand scale.
In a statement, the Sudanese Embassy said the RSF was escalating the violence, citing a recent case where it shelled the city of Babanoisa 8 085 times in one day with artillery shells, 172 suicide drones and 110 attack drones.
Not only did this result in mass casualties, but mass displacement of civilians as well.
“The Embassy of the Republic of Sudan expresses its grievance and sorrow regarding the repeated and escalating heinous atrocities committed against the innocent civilians by the terrorist militia. It also expresses its astonishment and concerns about the world’s silence in designating the said militia a terrorist one,” the embassy said.
“The terrorist militia continues implementing its scorched earth policy towards the Sudanese State and people, targeting civilian objects,” it added.
“On 4th December 2025, in pursuing its crimes, the terrorist militia bombarded Kalogi in South Kordofan, targeting a Kindergarten, killing more than 116 civilians, including women and 46 children among them. The attacks were with missiles launched from a drone. As residents rushed to rescue the injured, the said militia struck the Kindergarten again, killing more people. It pursued its victims and bombarded the rural hospital to increase the death toll,” the embassy stated.
Following the deadly attacks, United Nations secretary general, Antonio Guterres expressed outrage over drone strikes, as did the African Union.
