If you saw it, its your responsibility to spread it.
Few days before everything started, people were noticing a huge amount of Rapid Support Forces Troop carriers and Tanks entering the capital Khartoum which was concerned as few described it back then.
There was few pictures from all around the different part of the Capital that those troops were seen at.
In the morning of the 15th of March 2023:
Things started from the Military headquarters in the middle of the capital Khartoum, no one fully knows what had happened yet but allegedly that the RSF tried to assassinate the Sudanese army leader Alburhan and he somehow managed to escape.
When the RSF mission in assassinating the military leader and creating ultimate chaos failed, they went immediately to nearest vital spot in any country, which was unfortunately very close by and had very minimal protection.
It was Khartoum international Airport.
At that time there were passengers on an airplane which was waiting for green lights to take off.
The RSF started a random attack on every at the airport and the military had to fight back.
The following video is showing footage taken by one of the passengers on that plane to the early stages of the attack.
Things escalated after that and RSF and SAF started exchanging fire in the middle of the airport surrounded by civilians everywhere.
The following video was from the airport waiting lounge and was taken by another passenger who was waiting for his flight. It was like terror was unleashed upon them
Things got worse slowly and both parties started using heavy weapons RBGs and Missiles which had a damaging and fatal consequences.
The following are photos taken months later to the destruction that happened that day.
The passenger who took the video from the plane lived and said that a random missile came directly into the plane which immediately killed 3 people and two lost their legs. He was sitting next to them and he saw all of it.
Footage taken for one of the airplanes while it was burning down.
The capital then became a battlefield, a full-on war happening and both parties are using everything they can use to .. weapons, RBGs and planes! And that was happening while 5 million civilians were in the middle of that.
Another video to show how inconsiderate and reckless both parties are.
The army became very aggressive and started focusing on using airstrikes are the main way to attack. They targeted RSF bases however, is civilians where near by they were just considering as collateral damage!
This was the result of those violent strikes!
Pictures are better than a thousand words!
The military was going to bomb the militia even if that included striking a weapon store that has thousands of hazardous materials and chemicals!
The army was also using drones to strike the militia who were of course wondering around houses occupied by civilians but again they are just a side damage!
How did the Militia responded to all of this ?
1- Humiliating civilians and torturing them in ways you would never imagine.
(Uncomfortable content coming)
2- Using extreme violence against civilians!
3- stealing everything they can from Civilians! And I am going to give few examples for that!
If your car has a problem and can not be stolen why not just destroy it then ?
3- creating and encouraging a state of chaos and instability where thefts and robberies are welcomed!
Warning ⚠️
A civilian getting stabbed in the neck and killed just to steal his phone which was never a normal thing before!
Forgot this one!
4- Burning everything that is vital to any country, banks, hospitals, hotels and government facilities!
The biggest hotel in Khartoum!
Transport stations!
Everything!
Even bridges connecting the main parts of the capital were destroyed!
Few more!
And of course hospitals had its turn as well, more than 90% of the hospitals are out of service at the moment of writing this!
WARNING SEVER GRAPHIC CONTENT COMING ❌❌❌❌⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
5- Doctors and medical staff were targeted and killed.
6- if they could get their hand on any military worker even if they were retired they would face horrible death.
This is what happened to the man in the video after being captured by the Militia!
Very graphic content ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️❌❌❌
7- group civilian massacres whenever the rapid support forces felt like it and without any reason!
Very graphic content again! ⚠️⚠️❌❌
8- Rap*ing women and documenting that on video! I won’t post it because it’s highly disturbing and for the sake of the victims!
And due to all of that 5 million citizens had to leave the homes and get displaced inside or outside Sudan to stay away from death!
It has not a couple of days or weeks, this has been happening since 15/03/2023!
And remember!
This is what has been captured, but its always way much worse than what you see!

#KeepEyesOnSudan
Story number 1: The martyr Hassan Fayez
“In the morning of the 3rd of November 2023, Hassan Fayez who was just 18 years old from Almasaleet tribe and his twin brother Hussien, were drinking tea with their family when the RSF arrived to their house on horses and motorcycles. They ran to try and hide their dad’s old military outfit before it was found by the RSF. Hassan was shot dead by the RSF soldiers in front of his mother. They militia also took everything they could from the house like money, phones and everything of value. Hussien’s aunties had to dress him up in women’s clothes in order to protect him from being killed as well. On their way out to Chad, Hussien saw many boys around his age, their hands were cuffed and they were all shot in the head. Hussien’s aunties were gathering around him at the checkpoints so that he did not get recognized”
Until the day of writing this tweet, Hussien’s father is missing and no information of what had happened to him.
This happened on the day of Ardamta massacre, which happened in west Darfur - it was done by the RSF.
Story number 2: The martyr Nahla Mohamed Othman.
“In the evening of the 21st of December 2023, the RSF had broken into granny Zainab’s house in Medani city, they took everything of value and all the food in the house. That was not the end, as the militia came back again after midnight to take Waleed، Zainab’s sibling-in-law after threatening him. Then after kidnapping Waleed, they returned and asked to take Zainab’s daughter “Nahla” who decided that she would rather die than get taken by the militia to be raped or tortured. She tried fighting back and had hit one of the militia soldiers in his head. They shot her dead. The same bullet that killed Nahla, injured granny Zained in the shoulder and she lost her consciousness”
When granny Zainab came about, she was at her neighbors who had told that they had to burry Nahla if front of the house because they were not allowed to get to the cemetery.
Nahla was 3 months into her pregnancy of the first child, she had only married a year ago.
Thread: How is UAE (Emirates) supporting the genocide happening in Sudan.
I have mentioned briefly in the previous threads that UAE plays a vital role in the war in Sudan.
However, what would the benefit from it ?
What is their end goal ?
In here I will explain all of it ..
First we have to understand the depth of the relations between UAE and the Rapid Support Forces and its leader Hemedti.
The collaboration started back in 2018, when Mohamed bin Zayed the leader of UAE, payed Hemedti so the Rapid Support Forces can support him in the war against Houthi in Yemen.
Hemedti was visiting UAE very frequently, most of his visits were announced however some of them were not.
The last one was 2 weeks before the beginning of the current conflict in Sudan. During his last visit he met some of the most important names in the country including Mansour bin Zayed the Vice President of the United Arab Emirates.
Thread: UN Estimations on the impact of the war in Sudan ..
Before the war even started 4.5 million were already displaced in Sudan internally and externally due to Darfur crisis majority living in camps in Darfur.
Another 800k Sudanese were living as refugees in countries such as Chad, South Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia.
When the war started, the country was home to over 1 million refugees – the second-highest refugee population in Africa.
The majority were from South Sudan, refugees fleeing the crisis in northern Ethiopia starting in late 2020, Eritrea, Syria and the Central African Republic.
Update thread: The complexities and the background of the situation in Sudan.
I will try in this thread to give everyone a background about how the RSF started, why did they became so powerful, what is their motive to do all of this and what was the trigger to start the war.
Everything goes back to 1989 when Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir a Sudanese former military officer became the head of state (president) as a result to a military coup.
Between 1989 -2019 He was elected three times as president in elections that have been under scrutiny for electoral fraud.
In March 2009, al-Bashir became the first sitting head of state to be indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), for allegedly directing a campaign of mass killing, rape, and pillage against civilians in Darfur.
In October 2005, al-Bashir's government negotiated an end to the Second Sudanese Civil War, leading to a referendum in the south, resulting in the separation of the south as the country of South Sudan. In the Darfur region, he oversaw the War in Darfur that resulted in death tolls of around 10,000 according to the Sudanese Government, but most sources suggest between 200,000 and 400,000.
I am writing this for non Arabic speakers, I will explain what has been happening in Sudan during the last 9 months, since 15th of April 2023.

Help Sudan!!
If you see it, its your responsibility to spread it.
On the 15th of April 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) which is led by Mohamed Hamdan Diglo (Hemedti) started a war against the Sudanese Army in the capital Khartoum!
Which led to internal and external displacement of 5 million Sudanese ..
People had to leave their houses and literally all their belongings including their cars because if you tried to drive you will be considered a target for both RSF and Sudanese Army missiles.
Every governmental facility, house, factory in Khartoum has been burned down or bombed
