A recent Human Rights Watch report indicates that armed groups fighting alongside the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have targeted civilians in central Sudan, potentially committing war crimes. Specific allegations include violence against villagers, documented attacks including an incident in Tayba where at least 26 people were killed. The report highlights the actions of SAF-aligned groups like the Sudan Shield Forces and calls for an urgent investigation into these abuses, underscoring the severity of ongoing human rights violations amidst the civil conflict in Sudan.
The HRW report documented that in an attack on January 10, the Sudan Shield Forces attacked the village of Tayba, killing at least 26 people, including a child.
Witnesses said armed fighters who spoke of their chief as Abu Aqla Keikel, leader of the Sudan Shield Forces, shot indiscriminately at residents and went from house to house.
