The Rapid Support Forces (), a paramilitary group fighting the Sudanese Armed Forces () in Sudan's ongoing civil war, killed more than 25 civilians in the Umm Badr area of state, according to a local NGO or medical group. This massacre is the latest atrocity in a conflict that has been raging since April 2023, with both sides accused of war crimes.
The claim originates from a local NGO or medical group, reported by teleSUR English (aggregated/secondary, no primary cited) and corroborated by Anadolu Agency (state-run Turkish news, citing the same medical group). Multiple secondary sources (Saudi Gazette, Hamer Intel) repeat the figure, and a UN OHCHR press release from October 2025 documented similar RSF atrocities. However, a conflicting report from the same day alleges SAF and allied militias killed 23 civilians in North Kordofan, introducing uncertainty about which faction is responsible. The primary source is not independently verifiable from the reporting, so the claim is plausible but not confirmed.
Genuinely new: the reports were published on 3–4 October 2026, covering an event that appears to have occurred just days earlier.
