: Khadir Ali and his family managed to survive a harrowing paramilitary attack in war-torn Sudan. But by the time they got to safety, he realised that one person was missing.
The teenager is among scores of people reported missing as the RSF stages major attacks across eastern al-Jazira state after a high-ranking officer from the area defected to the army.In retaliation, the RSF has been “killing people in their homes, in markets and on the streets, and looting property including from markets and hospitals”, rights group Amnesty International said on Wednesday.
The conflict has triggered one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. More than half the population -- 25 million people -- face acute hunger.The UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs reports that more than 119,000 people have fled from al-Jazira state amid the recent surge of violence.“So far, we’ve counted 170 missing from our village. Entire families are unaccounted for,“ he said from New Halfa, where some children arrive unaccompanied by family members.
Activist Ali Bashir, who helps people get away from villages in eastern al-Jazira, said “the communications blackouts are making the missing persons crisis even worse”.Sudanese social media are filled with posts about missing persons, with activists sharing the pictures and names, many of them children or elderly.Just hours after the army said it had taken control of Tamboul, witnesses reported that the paramilitaries were continuing to operate there, causing thousands of civilians to flee.
