Sudanese court charges RSF leader with genocide over governor's murder

[SUDANTRIBUNE] A Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese counter-terrorism court on Monday charged the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), his two brothers, and 13 others with genocide and crimes against humanity over the killing of West Darfur's former governor, Khamis Abdallah Abkar.
Abkar was killed on June 14, 2023, shortly after being taken into custody by the RSF. Videos later circulated showing the governor with RSF fighters, followed by graphic images of the desecration of his body.
In a statement, the Public Prosecution said the court in Port Sudan, presided over by Judge Mamoun al-Khawad, formally charged RSF leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemetti, and his brothers Abdel Rahim Dagalo and al-Quni Dagalo, with genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and looting.
Prosecutors said the charges relate to an attack on the city of El Geneina on April 15, 2023, which was led by Hemetti and targeted the Masalit tribe. The assault resulted in thousands of deaths, the displacement of hundreds of thousands to Chad, and the ''brutal killing and desecration of the body'' of the former governor.
Hemetti's brother Abdel Rahim, the RSF's second-in-command, and his other brother al-Quni, who manages the force's finances, were charged with criminal complicity in planning and executing the attack, prosecutors said.
The court named the RSF's West Darfur sector commander, Abdel Rahman Juma, as a fourth defendant, accusing him of leading the direct assault on El Geneina and overseeing the governor's killing. He is also charged with committing acts of genocide against the Masalit people, including the killing of 15,000 citizens, some of whom were allegedly buried alive.
