US EditionSudan: North Darfur - At Least Nine Dead, 17 Wounded in RSF Shelling
- In June 2023, fighters from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces stormed the Khartoum home of 44-year-old Egyptian merchant Emad Mouawad and took him and six others into custody amidst the RSF's war with the Sudanese army that began in April 2023.
- The RSF accused the Egyptian traders of being spies, a claim denied by Cairo, reflecting the RSF's accusation that Egypt was involved in the war.
- Mouawad, along with Ahmed Aziz and Mohamed Shaaban, endured approximately 20 months of captivity, being repeatedly shuttled between RSF-run detention centers, including a university building-turned-prison in Khartoum's Riyadh district and the infamous Soba prison in southern Khartoum, where they were subjected to beatings, insults, and degrading treatment.
- According to former detainees, conditions in these overcrowded prisons were horrific, with detainees, including children and the elderly, suffering from rampant disease, brackish water, and meager rations of tasteless paste, leading to severe illness and death, with bodies left unwashed and rotting in cells.
- After their release, which they believe was a result of a joint intelligence operation between Egypt and Sudan's army-aligned authorities, Mouawad, Aziz, and Shaaban returned to Egypt, struggling to recover from the physical and mental trauma inflicted by the RSF, who, according to Human Rights Watch, operates with complete impunity, running secret facilities where detainees are often never seen again, while both the RSF and the army have been accused of war crimes, including torturing civilians.
