The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) continues to strongly condemn the indiscriminate killings and injuring of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) residing in the Zamzam IDP camp by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a party in the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan. We reiterate our calls for swift accountability for the arbitrary killings and injuries and for the provision of adequate and timely reparations to victims and their families. The belligerents must ensure that all civilians, especially IDPs, are guaranteed all their inherent rights by upholding regional and international human rights treaties ratified by Sudan. Finally, Sudanese authorities must genuinely and tangibly prioritize justice, accountability, and redress for all human rights violations committed in Sudan, including those perpetrated by national security forces.
