The Sudanese Armed Forces launching targeted systematic airstrikes against the civilian

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and its allied militias linked to the extremist Islamic Movement escalated their brutal campaign of terror, launching targeted, systematic airstrikes against the civilian population across Darfur. These deliberate acts of barbarity struck the neighborhoods of Al-Qasr West and Al-Salama in Kutum, as well as the city of Nyala in South Darfur, leaving a devastating trail of death, destruction, and unimaginable suffering in their wake.

In Kutum, a second consecutive day of relentless aerial bombardments has claimed the lives of more than 40 innocent civilians, while many more remain critically injured. Seven barrel bombs were deliberately unleashed to obliterate the local market, turning it to ashes and leaving survivors with the heartbreaking task of collecting and burying the shattered remains of their loved ones. With no access to emergency medical services, the injured are left to endure excruciating pain and, too often, succumb to their wounds.

In Nyala, South Darfur, the carnage continued with indiscriminate airstrikes flattening homes and burying residents alive beneath the rubble. The full scale of casualties remains unconfirmed, but the magnitude of this atrocity is unmistakable. Witnesses describe scenes of unspeakable horror — a calculated, cold-blooded extermination of human lives. These atrocities are not just acts of war. They are a deliberate genocide carried out with chilling precision.

These crimes against humanity unfold against the backdrop of a deafening international silence. The SAF, driven by an extremist agenda and supported by their collaborators from the former regime in Port Sudan, is executing a genocidal blueprint aimed at the annihilation of innocent civilians in Darfur.

We issue a call to all national organizations, political leaders, and revolutionary movements to stand in unwavering solidarity with the victims of these heinous crimes. The time is now to expose these atrocities, hold the architects of genocide accountable, and pursue justice through every legal and moral avenue available.

Our commitment is resolute. These atrocities only deepen our determination to dismantle the corrupt and oppressive former regime responsible for this suffering. We will not rest until Sudan is rebuilt on the foundation of justice, dignity, democracy, and good governance.

Together, we will end this era of terror and oppression and create a future defined by freedom, equality, and hope for all.
