Sudan’s national museum ransacked in war, experts decry loss of artefacts and cultural identity

3,002 views Apr 30, 2025 #Archaeology #Sudan #RSF
Sudan’s National Museum, once a vibrant showcase of millennia-old history, now lies in ruins after two years of conflict between the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Precious artefacts—from Meroe-era graves to Pharaonic temple relics—have been looted or systematically destroyed, erasing chapters of Sudanese identity. RSF forces, who occupied the museum until March 2024, stole irreplaceable items, leaving behind shattered remnants. A damaged climate-controlled building now exposes ancient hieroglyphics to decay. Art experts describe the devastation as “a loss that makes one want to cry,” while authorities scramble to recover stolen pieces. Despite government restoration efforts, many artefacts may never be recovered, their stories lost forever. The museum’s fate mirrors Khartoum’s broader collapse, where history itself has become a war casualty.

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

3,661 views Apr 23, 2025 #Khartoum #AlJazeeraEnglish #Sudan
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.

Atrocities and starvation grip Darfur as Sudan’s war enters third year

4,743 views Apr 16, 2025 #AlJazeeraEnglish #Sudan #SudanHumanitarianCrisis
Sudan’s two-year war, a power struggle between the army and the paramilitary RSF, has triggered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, displacing 13 million people. In Darfur, an RSF siege has blocked aid for over a year, starving hundreds of thousands as villages face systematic burning and looting. Atrocities—including mass killings, sexual violence, and ethnic attacks—likely amount to crimes against humanity, although the RSF denies targeting civilians. Survivors recount harrowing escapes without any aid, while markets and infrastructure are deliberately destroyed to weaponise hunger. The besieged regional capital endures compounded threats of starvation and violence. Despite international warnings, abuses persist unchecked, leaving displaced populations in perpetual peril. With no resolution in sight, the conflict’s catastrophic human toll deepens.

Sudan’s RSF accused of ‘sickening’ sexual violence on women, girls: Report

5,583 views Apr 10, 2025 #Sudan #RSF #AmnestyInternational
Members of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been subjecting women and girls to “horrific” sexual violence and gang rape, as part of their strategy in the country’s civil war, according to Amnesty International, a global rights group.
In a 30-page report published on Thursday, Amnesty accused the RSF of inflicting “widespread sexual violence … to humiliate, assert control and displace communities across the country”.
Freddie Carver of ODI Global says such violence reflects deep-rooted power dynamics in Sudan’s civil conflict.
He notes sexual violence is used to dominate communities, with women often targeted due to their central social role.
Both RSF and Sudanese armed forces are implicated in these atrocities.
Carver stresses a victim-led response and addressing the root causes of the conflict.
He urges international efforts to prioritise civilian protection and peacebuilding.
An upcoming UK conference marks two years since the war began.
Empowering women and communities is key to Sudan’s long-term recovery.
