Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) accused the country’s Islamic Movement and General al-Burhan’s forces (SAF) of plotting to forcibly displace people from marginalized areas, saying the campaign aims to reshape Sudan’s demographics.
The RSF said the junta authorities in Khartoum’s Al-Khairat area have been demolishing homes and seizing land under the pretext of clearing informal housing. It described the actions as systematic and discriminatory, alleging that the plots are being transferred to SAF junta loyalists.
The Sudanese group warned that similar operations have begun in other neighborhoods, citing previous violence in Al-Gezira State as evidence of a pattern of targeting Sudanese from specific ethnic and regional backgrounds.
“These actions risk igniting a full-scale civil war,” the RSF said in a statement, reiterating calls for equal citizenship and denouncing what it called a long-standing exclusionary policy that began with the 1989 coup by the Islamic Movement.
There was no immediate response from General al-Burhan’s SAF junta.
