“[EXPLOSION] The bombing has caused chaos, with people fleeing for their lives. This footage is being shared to raise awareness of the devastating situation in Nuba Mountains. [GUNSHOTS] Sudan is in the midst of a brutal civil war, with millions displaced and tens of thousands killed. The Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group, is waging a violent campaign against the Sudanese Army for control of the country. The U.N. has accused both sides of atrocities, but a thorough investigation by The New York Times reveals that the R.S.F. is responsible for widespread atrocities, including ethnic cleansing, under the leadership of figures like Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemeti. By analyzing propaganda videos and satellite imagery, we have identified key commanders and their regions of operation. The evidence shows a pattern of terror and crimes against humanity committed by the R.S.F. across Sudan. The group’s fighters, easily identifiable by their uniforms, are carrying out executions, torching communities, and committing other abuses. The R.S.F. is using tactics reminiscent of the Janjaweed genocide in Darfur two decades ago. Commanders like Hussein Barsham have been directly implicated in executions, with video evidence placing them at the scenes of the crimes. This investigation sheds light on the brutal tactics employed by the R.S.F. and the need for accountability for their actions.”
