 Amnesty International’s Africa Director Netsanet Belay urged the African Union Peace and Security Council and the UN Security Council to break [the RSF’s] cycle of impunity and take immediate action to hold the perpetrators of this violence accountable.” 

Belay attributed the massacre to the RSF, “the special military force which killed, raped and tortured thousands in Darfur,” bring its “murderous rampage to Khartoum.” Belay added that bodies being reportedly dumped in the River Nile “demonstrate the utter depravity of these so-called security forces.”
