Press Statement

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the heinous terrorist crime committed today by the RSF Janjaweed militia, by bombing the Al-Muqrin shelter center in Atbara, killing 11 displaced persons—including 4 martyrs from a single family—and simultaneously shelling the Atbara Conversion Power Station. In its attack on defenseless civilians in Atbara, the terrorist militia employed advanced drones supplied by its regional sponsor, as it also providesthe long-range heavy artillery the militia uses to attack displaced persons and destroy hospitals, markets, and food warehouses in El Fasher and its surrounding. Following the consective defeats it has suffered in recent months across all battlefronts, the RSF terrorist militia resorted to such cowardly terrorist tactics. It has been persistently targeting power stations nationwide, within its genocidal campaign, as attacking energy infrastructure disrupts water plants, hospitals, and all essential services.
The latest escalation of the militia’s crimes against civilians comes just days after the United Nations Security Council renewed its demand of RSF to stop its attacks on displaced persons and lift its siege of El Fasher. This is yet another expression by the militia of its blatant defiance of international legitimacy and exterm disrespect to global condemnation of its crimes against humanity. Therefore, unless the international community takes concrete measures to end the impunity so far extended to the terrorist militia and its regional sponsor, mere appeals and condemnations will not affect a change in the behavior of this savage gang.
