RSF Captures En Nuhud Amid Reports of Mass Executions and Tactical Shift in Sudan Conflict

According to local sources, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a brutal assault on the town of En Nuhud in western-central Sudan yesterday. By today, the RSF had successfully raided and occupied the strategic town, reportedly committing mass killings targeting resistance leaders, local politicians, and community figures.

Among the victims is said to be a university professor—described as a known Islamist—along with all his children, allegedly murdered in cold blood. Eyewitness reports suggest civilians are being executed in large numbers.

This marks a significant shift in RSF’s battlefield strategy, as the group appears to be redirecting its offensive from El Fasher in northern Darfur towards eastern advances into Kordofan state.

The situation is further destabilized by what local observers suspect to be long-range drone strikes on critical energy infrastructure across central and western Sudan, signaling an escalation in both ground and aerial warfare.

These claims remain unverified through independent sources, but are being widely reported by Sudanese civil society monitors and residents on the ground. The humanitarian and security implications of the RSF’s new offensive trajectory are raising urgent concerns among regional observers.
