The Dar Hamar Emergency Response Room has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of committing abuses against civilians in the Foga and Wad Banda areas of Sudan’s West Kordofan State.
According to sources, the abuses include beatings, humiliation, the imposition of exorbitant levies on mining mill operators, and the confiscation of Starlink satellite internet equipment.
The group also accused the RSF of shutting down the market in Wad Banda.
“RSF personnel have subjected civilians to beatings and degrading treatment at the mining mills market in Foga, near the town of En Nahud,” Azzam Hamid, spokesperson for the Dar Hamar Emergency Response Room, told Radio Tamazuj. “The RSF also imposed levies on mill operators, requiring each mill to surrender a barrel of diesel fuel. The RSF looted the entire market.”
“Such conduct has become part of their daily practices in the northern localities of West Kordofan State, particularly En Nahud, Wad Banda, Foga and the surrounding areas,” Hamid added.
He further accused RSF personnel of confiscating Starlink satellite internet terminals, restricting residents’ ability to communicate and access telecommunications services amid the deteriorating security situation in the area.
Meanwhile, the vicinity of Foga has witnessed fierce fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF over the past two days, amid an escalation of military operations in the area.
