A recent brutal attack by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ravaged a village in South-Central Sudan, resulting in deaths and widespread destruction. The conflict, rooted in tensions between the military and RSF, has spiraled into a devastating civil war, displacing millions and prompting international war crimes investigations.

A paramilitary group led a ruthless attack on a village in south-central Sudan, leaving in its wake a scene of looted and burned homes, according to a medical group’s latest report. The attack claimed the lives of seven people, including two children, and injured 13 others.

The assault by the Rapid Support Forces occurred in the agricultural community of al-Ghabshan al-Maramrah in North Kordofan. Medical professionals from the Sudan Doctors Network confirmed that the fighters also destroyed the village’s only health care center and stole medical supplies.
