Sudan war: Freed detainees speak of torture, hunger and death inside RSF-run detention centres

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) stand accused of systematic abuse against civilians, with harrowing accounts emerging from their detention centres. Survivors describe torture with iron rods, deliberate starvation, and overcrowded cells where detainees slept on infected wounds. Hospitals in Omdurman now treat dozens rescued from RSF facilities like Soba Prison, where thousands were allegedly held in inhuman conditions. Mass graves discovered in recaptured compounds suggest many perished from torture or neglect under RSF custody. While some detainees have been freed since the army regained control of Khartoum, countless families still search for missing relatives. The RSF's alleged crimes – including executions and medical neglect – have left survivors with irreversible physical and psychological scars. As conflict persists, these revelations intensify calls for international scrutiny of the paramilitary group's actions and accountability for victims.
