Press Statement

After realizing its utter inability to confront the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and supporting forces, in the wake of humiliating losses it has sustained, the Janjaweed RSF militia, restored to overt acts of terrorism, targeting power stations, water facilities, hospitals, remote villages, internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, and civilian convoys. Over the past few days, the RSF militia has carried out multiple drone strikes on the Merowe power station and substations in Al-Shawak, Sinnar, Sennjah, Atbara, and Dongola. These attacks aim to disrupt electricity and water supplies to the safer states, deliberately crippling essential services, such as hospitals, bakeries, food production, and public utilities, which further deepens the suffering of the Sudanese people. These crimes are part of a broader genocidal strategy being pursued within the context of its war of aggression against the Sudanese people, with the support of its regional sponsors. At the same time, the RSF militia continues to perpetrate massacres in villages across Gezira State and has escalated its assaults on IDP camps in North Darfur, notably the Abu Shok and Zamzam camps. In addition, the RSF has attacked civilian infrastructure in El Fasher. Despite repeated calls for accountability, the militia remains in defiant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2736 (2024), threatening further massacres in the city of El Fasher.

The Government of Sudan strongly condemns these actions and calls on the international community, particularly the United Nations, to take immediate and decisive action. The Government urges the international community to unequivocally condemn these terrorist crimes as clear violations of international humanitarian law, the Jeddah Declaration, and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. The Government further urges the international community to take effective measures against the RSF terrorist militia to prevent further criminal actions.
