The Sudan Doctors Network accused the Rapid Support Forces of killing 27 people in an attack on villages in Sudan's North Kordofan state on May 28, 2026. The non-governmental medical group said the assault took place in the Al-Murra area, west of Bara, on the second day of the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Anadolu Agency reported the allegation on May 29. The network said elderly residents were among those killed and described the victims as unarmed civilians in an area without a military presence. The available report did not name the victims, identify the individual villages affected or provide a separate official casualty count.
The RSF had not commented on the accusation, according to Anadolu. No independent confirmation of the death toll or account of the attack was included in the supplied source. The figure and attribution therefore remain claims made by the Sudan Doctors Network rather than findings established by multiple sources.
The group characterised the reported assault as a violation of international humanitarian protections for civilians. It said attacks on villages and residential areas were deepening Sudan's humanitarian emergency and pushing additional families from their homes. The network called on international and human-rights organisations to condemn the alleged violations and press RSF leaders to stop attacks on civilian areas.
The accusation emerged during the wider conflict between Sudan's army and the RSF, which began in April 2023. Anadolu reported that the fighting had killed thousands and displaced millions. At the time of its account, the RSF controlled all five states in the western Darfur region apart from parts of North Darfur held by the army. The army held most territory in Sudan's other 13 states, including the capital, Khartoum.
Those broader territorial details provide context for the continuing war but do not independently establish what occurred in Al-Murra. The source did not report whether military forces were present nearby, whether survivors had been interviewed or whether any investigation had begun. It also did not describe injuries, arrests or a response operation after the alleged attack.
The network's statement focused on civilian protection as well as the reported deaths. Its warning linked repeated attacks on populated places to further flight by families, but the report did not quantify displacement specifically caused by the Al-Murra incident. The appeal was directed broadly to international and rights organisations; no response to it was included.
The event date is May 28, while May 29 reflects when the Sudan Doctors Network's accusation was reported. Given the absence of an RSF response and independent verification in the available evidence, the account requires careful attribution. What is documented is the medical group's allegation of 27 civilian deaths, including elderly residents, and its appeal for international pressure to protect populated areas.
