RSF accused of killing five civilians in North Kordofan assault
The Sudan Doctors Network has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of killing five civilians during an assault in North Kordofan province. The incident occurred as the RSF continues its offensive to secure corridors toward the capital, Khartoum. This adds to mounting evidence of systematic violence against non-combatants in the region. Humanitarian groups warn that the escalation is worsening the displacement crisis, with over 200,000 newly displaced persons reported in the Kordofan region this month alone.
