Dozens of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) followers drowned in the White Nile while trying to escape from Khartoum and Al-Kalakla.

Meanwhile, the militia imposed a violent siege on the citizens of Al-Kalakla, at the same time it liquidated dozens of citizens inside their homes in Al-Kalakla by hanging and shooting them under the pretext of spying for the army.

Identical sources reported to (Sudanese Echoes) – via phone call – about a security breakdown and a wave of terror that swept Al-Kalakla Al-Got’iya and Al-Terai’a areas, indicating that the militia members, who are afraid of the army, imposed a siege since last Friday on Al-Kalakla and Al-Azhari Districts after the army closed the roads in front of the militia.

The sources confirmed that about 100 militia elements drowned while trying to escape via 4 boats due to the overload, as the drowning elements placed rickshaws on the boats, causing them to sink along with their human load of more than 40 Rapid Support Forces (RSF) personnel.

In return, the forces detained the residents as human shields in Al-Kalakla and the villages of Jebel Awliya inside their homes.

RSF militia began killing citizens with bullets and hanging some of them, and threatened the remaining citizens with the same fate, repeating to the residents that they would not die alone and “We will kill you before the army killed us.” They threatened the citizens.

The source stressed that the victims of the Janjaweed in Al-Kalakla, Al-Gobba, Al-Terai’a and Al-Azhari exceeded 100 victims, in addition to dozens of wounded men, youth, women, children, the elderly and people with special needs.

The source described the situation in Al-Kalakla District as “catastrophic”, and the number of dead is likely to increase and may reach the stage of genocide.
