The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), documents this report to update the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights (ACHPR) at its 79th Ordinary Session on the ongoing violations of human rights in Sudan. ACJPS is a non-profit, non-governmental organization working to monitor and promote respect for human rights and legal reform in Sudan.

ACJPS has continued to monitor the situation in Sudan since the outbreak of the war and in this detailed report, we document some incidents of arbitrary arrest, incommunicado detention, torture, and ill-treatment committed by the warring parties.

The African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) condemns the violent arbitrary attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the affiliated Arab militias against Sudanese citizens particularly the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Darfur region. In this release, ACJPS has documented incidents in North, South, and West Darfur States where 11 IDPs including one ACJPS monitor were killed and 15 others were injured.

During the period between 15 April to 30 October 2023, the African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) documented a series of human rights violations particularly targeting the Al-hasahisa and Khamisa Dagig IDP camps located in Zalingei town in Central Darfur. During the reporting period, at least 70 people including children lost their lives, and 116 sustained injuries. There were also incidents of arbitrary arrest. ACJPS has also documented the names of victims and testimonies. It is however notable that most of the victims sustained injuries to their upper body parties such as the stomach, head, and chest areas to which they succumbed.
