Dozens of medical workers and academics are being held by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in al-Geneina, West Darfur, the Sudan Doctors Network said Wednesday, expressing concern for their safety and well-being.
In a statement on X, the network said the reports indicated the detentions were continuing. It did not provide details about the professionals’ circumstances.
Anadolu Agency reported that Sudan’s army and the RSF have been fighting since April 2023.
The broadcaster said much of the Rapid Support Forces' membership comes from Sudan's Arab communities and reported accusations of repeated targeting of civilians from other ethnic groups.
The army’s claim comes amid a war that began in April 2023 and has displaced about 13 million people, according to United Nations estimates.
Anadolu's earlier reporting covered attacks on 12 power stations in six states.
