Escalation of Genocide in Sudan: Children Killed, Civilians Disappeared, Cities Captured Under the Cover of a Truce
We are extremely alarmed and outraged by the mass killing of children in Kadogli, South Kordofan, and wish to raise the alarm about the rapidly deteriorating situation in South Kordofan. If left unaddressed, this will soon see a repeat of the deadly atrocities in El-Fasher.
For nearly two years, the people of Sudan—especially women and children in Darfur and Kordofan—have faced a deliberate and systematic campaign of extermination, displacement, imposed starvation, and sexual violence at the hands of the genocidal paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). What we are witnessing today is not a breakdown of order, but the calculated destruction of entire communities.
Deliberate Targeting of Children: Mass Killing in South Kordofan
On December 4th, 2025, South Kordofan experienced one of the most horrific assaults since the massacre in El Fasher began. In Kalogi, drone strikes intentionally targeted a kindergarten, killing at least 79 civilians, including 43 children.
UNICEF confirms that children as young as five were killed inside their classroom. These attacks show the true nature of this war: children are not collateral damage; they are targets.
El Fasher: A City Turned Into an Open-Air Detention Camp
Since its seizure, El Fasher has been turned into a network of detention centers where civilians are tortured, raped, starved, and executed.
RSF Capture of Babnusa
On December 1, RSF announced control over Babnusa, a strategic gateway connecting Darfur and Kordofan.
Attacks on Humanitarian Corridors
At the Adikon market near the Sudan–Chad border, a drone strike killed civilians and burned humanitarian aid trucks.
At DWAG, we refuse to remain silent. Silence is not neutrality; it is complicity.
- Enforce an immediate ceasefire with civilian protection
- Open safe humanitarian corridors
- Deploy international protection forces
- Expand the arms embargo
- Support ICC and UN investigations
We urge the global community to act now.
With Gratitude,
