Sudan: Warring Factions Target Civil Society

 Source: Aljazeera published on 1 April 2024 an article titled “Are Sudan’s Civil Society Activists Being Targeted by Both Warring Sides?” by Mat Nashed.

There are recent reports that both the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) are targeting and sometimes arresting civil society activists who operate soup kitchens for the poor and provide other help in their “emergency response rooms.”  The goal of the RSF and the SAF apparently is to maintain control over all elements of civil society.
