The RSF: Our forces repelled a treacherous attack by the SAF operating under the Islamic Movement  in Babanousa.

Earlier this Monday morning, our forces were subjected to a treacherous attack by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) that operates under the so-called terrorist Islamic Movement and its affiliated militias in the city of Babanousa, West Kordofan State. Our forces had no option but to exercise their legitimate right to self-defense and to repel the aggression.

As we reiterate our firm commitment to the humanitarian truce declared by us, we affirm to local and international public opinion that the SAF that operates under the so-called terrorist Islamic Movement has exploited this commitment to continue its repeated attacks on a number of cities and villages, resulting in the killing and injury of hundreds of innocent civilians. In addition to continuing to mobilize its militias to continue fighting, which endangers the lives of innocent civilian and negatively affects the flow of humanitarian aid.

We call upon the Quad countries and regional and international organizations to condemn the repeated attacks by the SAF operates under the so-called terrorist Islamic Movement, the latest of which was the attack on the area of (Kumo) in South Kordofan that led to the killing of more than 46 students and the injury of dozens. We also reaffirm that the right to self-defense and the defense of civilians is a legitimate right guaranteed by all international laws.
