Military sources also reported counting approximately 900 executions carried out by the militia in Khartoum.
A report by the Mashhad Center documented the extrajudicial execution of 11,409 young men, mostly for ethnic reasons. Another 14,685 were injured as a result of indiscriminate and direct targeting. More than 9,000 young men and women were arbitrarily arrested.
A member of the National Committee for War Crimes and Militia Violations, who requested anonymity, confirmed to Sudan Tribune that other crimes had been committed by these forces against girls and women, including kidnapping for sexual slavery and exploitation, ransacking, physical assault, and forced labor.
The Attorney General and the head of the National Committee for Monitoring Militia Violations did not respond to repeated requests from Sudan Tribune to specify the numbers and statistics the committee has obtained so far.
The families of victims executed during the war in Sudan spoke of horrific details surrounding the liquidation of their relatives, in addition to the brutal torture they were subjected to.
A special investigation conducted by Sudan Tribune in May 2024 revealed tragic details about the militia-backed assassination of civilians by hanging inside detention centers and execution chambers set up in the capital, Khartoum.
Military sources told Sudan Tribune that “statistics regarding the militia’s execution of hundreds of people in Khartoum exceeded 900 people.”
A security officer told Sudan Tribune that reports compiled by security and military organs documented the killing of civilians by the militia, including shootings and executions by hanging, in various areas of Khartoum. The officer did not specify the locations, but confirmed the occurrence of killings, arrests, displacement, torture, and sieges of civilians in the cities of Bahri and Khartoum.
(S-H) indicated that his brother was killed by the militia in July 2024 in Al-Ramaila neighborhood of Khartoum.
He recounted the painful details of his brother’s death, whom the militia accused of collaborating with the Sudanese army and transmitting information about their presence in the area and neighboring neighborhoods. This happened after he went to the central market in southern Khartoum and returned in the evening.
He said that the charge against his brother was collecting and transmitting information about the militia’s movements in the Al-Ramaila and adjacent neighborhoods, and verbally transmitting it to an intelligence source working in the market itself.
He confirmed that these forces shot him several days after his arrest, although they were unable, according to his testimony, to determine where he was buried.
