The RSF condemns the brutal massacre of Al-Hawazma tribe by SAF forces in South Kordofan

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) strongly condemn the heinous massacre committed by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the brigades of the extremist Islamic movement on the morning of Sunday, April 13, 2025, against the members of the Al-Hawazma tribe in the village of (Allouba), located south of the city of El-Obeid.. The massacre which was carried out by the terrorist SAF and its allies constitute a full-fledged crime of genocide.

This crime, which targeted unarmed civilian, reflects a dangerous and escalating strategy aimed at dismantling the nation's social fabric through ethnic cleansing, tribal conflicts, and the systematic fragmentation of society along ethnic lines.

As we express our firm and unconditional solidarity with the people of al- Hawazma tribe, we assert that true justice can only be attained by holding all perpetrators and their accomplices fully accountable.

Members of the Sudanese Armed Forces operating under the Islamic Movement, along with the terrorist militias of the so-called "Al-Bara bin Malik Brigades," deliberately committed unspeakable atrocities, slaughtering entire families, including women, elderly, and children in cold blood, solely on the basis of tribal and geographic identity. This attack was not an isolated incident, but a systematic and coordinated operation. It was executed with calculated military planning, shielded by political cover and met with official silence. These crimes reaffirm that what is happening in Sudan today is nothing less than a new chapter of ethnic cleansing and mass extermination.

While the RSF condemns these heinous acts, it simultaneously holds the criminal al-Burhan and his allied militias fully accountable for the Alouba massacre. We consider this atrocity as both a war crime and a crime against humanity that is not subject to any statute of limitations.

We reiterate our full solidarity with Al-Hawazma people and all victims of the systematic violence, and call upon all segments of the Sudanese society to unite in confronting the agenda of division and civil strife.

We call on the international community and human rights organizations to fulfill their  obligation towards what is happening in Sudan and to end the policy of suspicious silence and double standards in responding to humanitarian catastrophes.

In conclusion, we renew our pledge to our people: we will remain committed to the principles of justice, freedom, and human dignity. We will continue to stand against all those whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents  people regardless of their identity or place of origin.
