يشعر المركز الأفريقي لدراسات العدالة والسلام بقلق عميق إزاء العنف الذي يتعرض له قطاع الرعاية الصحية وإعاقة الخدمات التي يقدمها مع اشتداد وتيرة الصراع المسلح بين القوات المسلحة السودانية وقوات الدعم السريع في إقليم دارفور. حيث تم إغلاق تسعة مستشفيات حكومية على الأقل اغلاقا كاملاً ونهب سبعة مرافق طبية وتدمير العديد من المعدات والأجهزة الطبية. فعلى سبيل المثال، تعرض مستشفى الطويلة في شمال دارفور للنهب وجرى تدمير سيارة الإسعاف الخاصة به. هذا بالإضافة إلى النقص الحاد في عدد أفراد الطاقم الطبي حيث اضطر العديد منهم إلى الفرار من المنطقة في أعقاب احتدام المعارك وارتفاع حالات حوادث القتل والاختطاف والاعتقالات التعسفية للعاملين في المجال الطبي. ويسعى المركز خلال هذا التقرير الى دراسة وتوثيق حالة القطاع الصحي في مختلف ولايات دارفور منذ اندلاع النزاع المسلح في السودان في 15 أبريل 2023.

(29 يونيو 2023) يعرب المركز الأفريقي لدراسات العدالة والسلام عن قلقه العميق بشأن سلامة وأمن المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان في الجنينة بغرب دارفور. وذلك في أعقاب تنامي موجة العنف التي يتعرضون لها مع استمرار عمليات النزاع المسلح القائم بين القوات المسلحة السودانية وقوات الدعم السريع والذي اندلع منذ 15 أبريل 2023. حيث تعرض في هذا السياق ثمانية من المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان للاستهداف، يفضل المركز حجب أسمائهم حفاظا على سلامتهم. وبهذا فإن المركز يناشد كل من القوات المسلحة السودانية وقوات الدعم السريع إلى الكف عن مواصلة استهداف المدنيين. كما ندعو في ذات الوقت حكومات البلدان المجاورة إلى ضمان سلامة اللاجئين اليها، بمن فيهم المدافعون عن حقوق الإنسان، ومنحهم كل ما من شأنه تعزيز شرعية تواجدهم بها.

The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) expresses deep concern over the increasing trend of sexual violence during the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan. Survivors have identified armed actors as perpetrators including the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Arab militia, and Sudanese Alliance Forces. Scores of women and girls have been subjected to sexual violence including rape. Some have been held for several days in conditions of sexual slavery. In this release, ACJPS has documented an incident where seven university girls were abducted by the Sudanese Alliance Forces and sexually violated for 14 days.

The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) has documented an incident on 19 November 2023, where the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) engaged in a gunfight at the SAF base in Eldien town also known as Division 20 injuring 68 people.

Sudan is currently ravaged by war and human rights violations are happening on a large scale. In Darfur, the armed conflict took an ethnic turn between Arabs and non-Arabs. In this detailed report, ACJPS has documented yet another ethnically motivated attack in the Ardamata locality in West Darfur targeting the Massalite people. The attack launched by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied Arab militia led to the seizure of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) base in Ardmata, killing more than 800 people including SAF soldiers and Massalite people, injuring several others and thousands displaced to fairly safer states within Sudan and the neighboring Chad. Additionally, women and girls were reportedly subjected to sexual violence in the camp and while fleeing the area.

The African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) expresses deep concern over the surge in the recruitment of child soldiers in the Darfur region, specifically in Central Darfur since the outbreak of the armed conflict in April 2023. ACJPS is reliably informed that the recruitment, mainly by the Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) follows the same methodology used by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in the remobilization of the Popular Defense Forces (PDF) in Darfur following its calls to join them. The recruitment of child soldiers to join the RSF is facilitated by the native administration members who are either in the PDF or are RSF officers.

The fight between the Sudanese Army (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in South Darfur has intensified with trends similar to those in Khartoum where SAF uses the tactic of shelling in areas around their base without actually leaving the base. This is done on suspicion that RSF occupied residences of civilians neighboring the SAF base with the intension to attack

ACJPS has documented 51 incidents of sexual violence against women and girls in Zalingi and Garsilla localities in Central Darfur. The victims/survivors identified men dressed in the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) uniforms, allied Arab militias and in some cases men in Sudanese Armed Forces’ (SAF) uniform as the perpetuators.

African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) strongly condemns the continued targeting of civilians by the warring parties and allied militia in Sudan. ACJPS has documented incidents where ten political activists and businessmen were targeted and killed by unknown gunmen in Nyala, South Darfur since the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced seizure of the city.

The African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) has received reliable information indicating that 47 detainees held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) were released while others escaped. The released detainees include 16 females. Some of the victims testified to ACJPS that they had been subjected to torture while in detention as they were beaten with water pipes and sticks, forced to stand under the sun for many hours, verbally abused, threatened to be sexually abused, held in poor detention facilities without ventilation and toilets, denied meals among other forms of torture and ill-treatment.

African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) expresses deep concern about the continuous targeting of civilians by the Sudanese Army (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). ACJPS has documented two separate incidents where 41 civilians were killed and several others injured in Donki Shatta locality in North Darfur and Nyala city in South Darfur.

African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) strongly condemns the violations against children by both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militia in Sudan. In this release, ACJPS has documented an incident where 66 children were arrested in West Darfur by the RSF amidst allegations of recruitment of child soldiers into the armed conflict.
