Report: Violation Against Religious Minorities in Sudan

Since the start of the war between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on 15th April 2023, Sudan has indulged in a total state of lawlessness and seen massive violations of human rights. We managed to document cases of rape, extra-judiciary killing, and occupation of private properties, places of worship, and schools and hospitals also been attacked and looted. Sudan religious minorities have been deliberately targeted, some of them asked to abandon their religion and convert to Islam at the point of a gun.
Justice Africa Sudan managed to carry out investigations to assess the magnitude of violations against religious minorities. We managed to interview some Christians and visited some sites that have been affected in the capital Khartoum and Madani in El Gazzira states, including visiting churches and places of worship in some of the slumps of the capital Khartoum including Omdurman Dar Al Salam Wad Al Bashir Omdada, Mayo Khartoum South, and A Haj Youssef in the Nile East locality. Some of videos circulated in the social media show the command of RSF vising the church in Wad Madani after the city was taken over by RSF, they tried to assure the Christians that all their rights will be safeguard but the problem is RSF is not a disciplined forces and the commanders can’t control all their forces , and in many cases the commanders were trying to distance themselves from the violations committed by their forces but they are fully responsible as they are the occupying forces and the protection of civilians is their responsibility.
