DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA AND SPOKESPERSON

Press Release

The Foreign Ministry condemns the heinous terrorist crime committed by the rebel Militia at dawn today by bombing the bridge of Jabal Awliya reservoir south of Khartoum, which caused its destruction.
This shameful crime once again underscores that the Militia’s goal now is to destroy the country: its strategic institutions, humanitarian facilities, and infrastructure, having despaired of seizing power and been unable to confront the Sudanese Armed Forces militarily.
This terrorist crime coincides with the continuing massacres by the Militia of civilians in safe towns and villages in different areas of the country.
New atrocities by the Militia have been documented in West Darfur State as it continues its ethnic cleansing crimes by massacring displaced people and those fleeing its terror, burying some of them alive.
In addition, the Militia attacked safe villages of Al-Gammoiyya community , southwest of Omdrman, killing large numbers of villagers in cold blood. It has further continued its indiscriminate shelling of safe residential areas within Greater Omdurman .
The unrestrained persistence of the disbande RSF to perpetrate these atrocities does not give the international community and the competent international and regional organizations any excuse not to classify it as a terrorist organization, and take firm measures against those who provide it with any kind of assistance, support or sympathy to help it continuing its crimes against Sudan, its citizens and capabilities.
