KHARTOUM:At least 56 people were killed by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Umm Kadada city in North Darfur State, western Sudan,according to reports.

Reports said,These people were "executed on an ethnic basis" after the RSF took control of the city on Thursday, the Coordination of Resistance Committees in the state's capital El Fasher said, identifying all the victims as civilians.

The local volunteer group accused in a statement the militia of "committing widespread violations, forcibly displacing residents, and shutting down all communication networks."

Meanwhile, the Sudanese Emergency Lawyers Initiative, another volunteer group, confirmed in a statement that the RSF killed 52 civilians, burned residential homes, and looted properties in two days after entering Umm Kadada.

"The RSF also stormed the local hospital, assaulted patients, and executed four medical staff members, including the hospital's director," it added.

There has been no comment from the RSF regarding the claims.

Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF since mid-April 2023, which has claimed more than 29,600 lives, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data, a crisis monitoring group cited by the United Nations.
