The civil war in Sudan, Africa, which has been raging for two years and six months, has escalated to an extreme, with hundreds of people, including patients, massacred by rebels at a hospital in the country.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on the 29th that “more than 460 people, including patients, guardians, and medical staff, were killed, and six doctors and nurses were kidnapped at the ‘Saudi Maternity Hospital’ in El Fasher, West Darfur, after the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) withdrew and the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) entered the area.” Although the hospital originally specialized in obstetrics and gynecology, it was treating hundreds of soldiers and civilians as most other hospitals had been destroyed. The Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) reported, “RSF fighters turned the hospital into a slaughterhouse by killing everyone inside.” The RSF is reportedly demanding 150,000 dollars, approximately 214 million Korean won, as ransom for the kidnapped medical staff.

The rebels, composed of the RSF and Arab militias, have besieged and attacked El Fasher since April of last year. While the government forces control central and northeastern regions and the rebels hold most of the western areas, the RSF aimed to divide Sudan by capturing El Fasher, the government’s last stronghold in the west. Continuous shelling and drone attacks reduced the entire city to ruins, including a camp housing 500,000 displaced people. Electricity and water supplies were cut off, and a large-scale famine erupted. After the government forces announced their withdrawal on the 27th of last month, El Fasher fell into the hands of the RSF.
Approximately 260,000 citizens are currently believed to remain in El Fasher. The rebels are carrying out brutal retaliatory acts against them. Social media posts show RSF executing civilians on the streets and dozens of corpses scattered next to burned vehicles. The “Joint Forces,” composed of government troops and pro-government militias, claimed, “The RSF executed more than 2,000 civilians in El Fasher.” The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) also urged, “Large-scale atrocities are rapidly increasing in El Fasher.”

Since gaining independence from British and Egyptian colonial rule in 1956, Sudan has suffered from civil wars and political instability. Conflicts between Arab groups and indigenous tribes in western Darfur particularly exacerbated the situation. The Arab groups, primarily pastoralists, and indigenous farmers, who practice settled agriculture, clashed over land and water. The conflict escalated into the 2003 Darfur genocide, where the Arab militia “Janjaweed” attacked indigenous tribes, killing approximately 300,000 people.
The current Sudanese civil war was triggered in April 2023 by a power struggle between Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the government forces, and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commander of the RSF. The RSF, rooted in the Janjaweed, clashed with the government forces over leadership, leading to armed conflict. While the RSF initially had the upper hand, the government forces recaptured parts of the capital Khartoum and eastern strategic areas after October of last year, shifting the conflict into a stalemate.
