Sudan army torturing people to death, says rights group
A rights group has accused the Sudanese army of torturing people to death in the restive Darfur region. The African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) stated that government forces have been conducting violent raids in various villages, resulting in the deaths of civilians due to torture and other forms of abuse.
The incidents are reported to have taken place in the recent weeks as part of the ongoing conflict in Darfur, where government forces have been clashing with rebel groups. The ACJPS claims that the army has been targeting specific ethnic groups in these operations, leading to further tensions and violence in the region.
The Sudanese government has denied these allegations, stating that the army is conducting legitimate operations to maintain peace and security in Darfur. According to officials, the army is targeting rebel groups that have been destabilizing the region for years.
The international community has expressed concerns over the situation in Darfur, calling for an independent investigation into the allegations of human rights abuses. The United Nations and various human rights organizations have urged the Sudanese government to ensure the protection of civilians and to hold accountable those responsible for any violations.
The situation in Darfur remains volatile, with ongoing clashes between government forces and rebel groups leading to a humanitarian crisis in the region. The allegations of torture and abuse by the Sudanese army have raised further alarm about the deteriorating security and human rights situation in Darfur.
