Arab League condemns rebel RSF militia violations in Al-Gezira

The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, condemned in the strongest terms the grave human rights violations committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in Al-Gezira State over the past few days, which included - according to UN reports - mass killings, rape of women and girls, plundering of markets and homes, and burning of farms on a large scale.
The Arab League called, in a statement on its official website, on the international community to redouble efforts to stop the crimes and hold their perpetrators accountable. Jamal Rushdi, the official spokesman for the Arab League, considered that the continued commission of these heinous crimes, some of which amount to ethnic cleansing in Darfur and various areas of Sudan despite repeated international condemnations, is additional evidence of the urgent need to coordinate efforts and international and regional cooperation to stop the war and hold perpetrators accountable, and the necessity of not allowing the exploitation of the distraction of international and Arab attention on the backdrop of the crimes of the Israeli occupation in Gaza and Lebanon to seek to overthrow the Sudanese state institutions and threaten the unity of the country and the integrity of its territories.
