Ethnically Motivated Killings Claim Over 200 Civilians in Western Sudan

Sources from the Sudan Doctors Network, citing testimonies from survivors who arrived at displacement camps in Al-Tina area of Chad, reported that more than 200 civilians — including children, women, and men — were killed in ethnically motivated attacks in western Sudan.
According to the network, the victims were targeted and killed on an ethnic basis in the areas of Ambro Serba and Abu Gamra, following assaults carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, in what it described as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian and human rights law.
The Sudan Doctors Network said the crimes have triggered large-scale displacement toward Chad, as civilians flee ongoing armed attacks. Displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees are facing severely deteriorating humanitarian conditions, marked by acute shortages of food and safe drinking water, the collapse of health services, and the absence of secure shelter, placing thousands of lives at risk — particularly children, women, and the elderly.
The network warned that continued violations could drive tens of thousands more civilians into Chad, potentially constituting the largest refugee movement these areas have witnessed.
It further stressed that international silence and failure to take deterrent action amount to indirect complicity in the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe.
The Sudan Doctors Network called for an immediate halt to attacks to stop displacement caused by mass killings, urged safe and unimpeded humanitarian access for medical and relief assistance, and demanded urgent support for displaced persons and refugees.
