It further provided a detailed inventory of all the 1,237 victims including 359 who were killed in al-Hilalia town, 300 in Tumbool town, 140 in al-Seraiha village, 57 in al-Ougda village, 28 in Rufaa town, 27 in Wad al-Sayed village, 25 in Muknoon village, 21 in al-Azaiba village, 16 in Id al-Gabash village and 16 in Safita.
The RSF forced residents in at least 400 out of 515 villages in east al-Gezira out of their homes and kept the other villages under siege, the Congress said.
The RSF has launched revenge campaigns on al-Gezira villages after its top leader in the State, Abu Aagla Kaikl, defected to join the Sudanese Armed Forces in its war with the RSF which erupted in April 2023.
