Sudanese authorities discovered multiple bodies in a Khartoum well, suspected to be victims of the RSF. The conflict has killed thousands, displaced millions, and led to war crimes, while the military gains ground.
At Least 11 Bodies Found in Well in Sudan’s Fayhaa Neighborhood





Sudanese authorities announced on Sunday that multiple bodies have been discovered at the bottom of a well in Khartoum, just days after the military successfully expelled a notorious paramilitary group from the area.
Police confirmed that 11 bodies, including women and children, were retrieved from a deep well in the Fayhaa neighborhood on Saturday.
Col. Abdul-Rahman Mohamed Hassan, head of the civil defense team in Khartoum, explained that the search was launched after local residents alerted authorities to a dead body found inside the well.
"We discovered various bodies inside this well, including males, females, adults, and children," Hassan stated, adding that efforts to locate additional remains were still ongoing.
Officials suspect that the victims were killed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and later discarded in the well while the paramilitary group controlled the area.
Earlier this month, the military regained control of the region as part of a broader offensive in Khartoum and Omdurman.
The RSF has not yet issued a response regarding the allegations.
Afraa al-Hajj Omar, a resident of the nearby Hajj Youssef neighborhood, alleged that the RSF was responsible for killing many individuals in the area, often leaving their bodies in the streets for days.
She also asserted that numerous bodies had been dumped in the well. "They robbed us, beat us, and tortured us," she recalled.
The ongoing conflict has claimed at least 20,000 lives, although experts believe the true death toll is significantly higher.
More than 14 million people have been displaced, with parts of the country experiencing famine.
The war has left Khartoum and other major cities in ruins, with reports of mass rapes and ethnically targeted killings—acts that international human rights organizations and the United Nations have classified as war crimes and crimes against humanity, particularly in the western Darfur region.
Violence has escalated in recent months, but the military continues to make steady progress against the RSF in Khartoum and other areas.
