There have been many reports from Sudan that fighters with the militia group the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been taking over people’s homes, using them as bases as they continue their battles with the Sudanese armed forces. Videos have been circulating online documenting the RSF brutalising civilians in their own homes, beating them or taking them hostage. We spoke to someone who narrowly survived being taken hostage by a group of RSF fighters in his own home.
Videos circulating online show armed fighters with the Sudanese militia group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), posing in homes that they have seized from civilians. The militia group has been using seized civilian homes as shelters as fighting continues to rage between them and the Sudanese military. Videos documenting these home invasions have been posted online, often by the RSF themselves. This militia has also been accused of theft, rape and assault on civilians.
