The act of enforced disappearance, a crime against human dignity and a grave violation of human rights, has become a pressing concern in Sudan amidst the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This crisis, which erupted in April 2023, has led to numerous reported cases of enforced disappearances, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention and adherence to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance
The situation in Sudan exemplifies how enforced disappearances deprive individuals of their legally mandated protections and inflict severe pain on victims and their families. Reports from human rights organizations indicate that both the SAF and RSF have been implicated in such acts, violating fundamental rights.
