RSF Holds Sudanese Army Responsible for "Komo Attack"

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced the killing of 45 people, mostly school students, and the wounding of others, in an attack launched by the Sudanese Army (SAF) with a drone on the "Komo" area in the Nuba Mountains.

1. RSF Condemnation of the Attack

• Description of the Attack: The RSF described the attack as a blatant violation of International Humanitarian Law and a war crime that necessitates accountability.

• Targeting: The RSF considered the targeting of educational institutions and civilian gatherings to be a direct infringement on human rights.

• Responsibility: The RSF held the Sudanese Army responsible for this attack.

2. Position of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM-N)

• Condemnation and Pledge to Retaliate: The Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) condemned what it called the "massacre" committed by the Sudanese Army against students in the "Komo" area.

• Threat of Response: The movement affirmed that it "will not stand idly by and will respond forcefully to the violations of the Sudanese Army."

3. Humanitarian Catastrophe and Worsening Crisis

Sudan's tragedy is worsening day by day, with the war, ongoing for over a year and a half, turning into the world's largest displacement crisis:

• Displacement Numbers: The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees has exceeded fourteen million people, according to UN and international organizations' estimates.

• Crisis of Unaccompanied Children: The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) revealed a distressing report indicating that more than 400 children arrived at the "Tawil" refugee camp without their parents in just one month.

• Psychological Impact: Many of these children suffer from psychological trauma and aggressive behavior as a result of what they witnessed.

• Information Gap: These testimonies reflect a small part of a larger humanitarian disaster, given the Internet outages and the lack of security for aid workers, which makes the available information significantly less than the scale of the real tragedy inside Sudan.
