Geneva / Khartoum – The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed shock yesterday with reporting on a broad summary execution in Khartoum since the recapture of the Sudanese Army (SAF) last month.
In a statement to coordinate UN humanitarian aid, Türk said “I was completely allaround by the execution,” urged “I am completely allaround,” stating that I would “take immediate steps to end the arbitrary deprivation of life,” and calling for legal killings of grave violations of international law.
He emphasized that both the individual perpetrator and the command-liable must be accountable.
The United Nations reviewed a video showing an armed man executing civilians in public places. Some people have been accused of supporting Paramilitary Quick Support Forces (RSF).
These actions stem from SAF, national security, and SAF-related militias. According to the United Nations, at least 20 civilians, including women, were reportedly killed in the belt area in the southern part of Khartoum.
The United Nations has also documented rising hate speech targeting ethnic communities, particularly Darfur and Kordofan, with a list of suspicious RSF collaborators circulating.
Türk sought an independent and transparent survey in line with international standards.
Rehabilitation El Mubarak, an attorney for the emergency counsel authorities, also accused of the abuses of the SAF in the El Jureif West, Khartoum North (Bali) and El Karakula regions of Khartoum. The civilian was executed on suspicion of RSF affiliation, and the judicial oversight has been reportedly collapsed.
El Mubarak also cited RSF violations near Soba and Hartoum’s armored corps.
She held both fighting parties for these abusers, some of which could be ethnic or politically motivated.
Activists and members of the Resistance Committee were also targeted, with reports of homes being attacked and portraits of the revolutionary in December were removed.
*The South Belt of Khartoum is part of the capital, where people previously displaced by wars in Darfur, Kordofan, Blue Nile regions and South Sudan refugees, were displaced by poor farmers in various parts of the country, where they lost their land to their banks.
