Death Toll in RSF Attacks on Al-Nahud Mount to 300

HeadlineMay 05, 2025

In Sudan, the death toll in the city of Al-Nahud has risen to 300, days after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces say they captured the key city in West Kordofan state, which borders Darfur. Among the 300 killed in the RSF attacks were at least 21 children.

Separately, on Sunday, RSF drone attacks struck a military airport in the city of Port Sudan. They were the first direct attacks on the de facto capital of Sudan’s military-led government since the devastating civil war broke out over two years ago.

This all comes as the International Court of Justice is ruling today in Sudan’s genocide case against the United Arab Emirates, which Sudan accuses of fueling the RSF.
