Sudanese paramilitary personnel killed more than 200 people in a three-day attack south of Khartoum, while the Army-backed government placed the death toll more than double that number, according to a lawyer's network.

Emergency Lawyer Network documented human rights violations in 22 months of battle between rival security forces, he said hundreds were injured or submerged after paramilitary personnel opened fire on villagers as they tried to escape the White Nile. .

The Army Support Government Foreign Ministry said 433 people, including children, were killed in a paramilitary rapid support force (RSF) attack.

Witnesses said the attack on the white Nile State villages of al-Kadaris and Al-Khelwat, 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital, sent thousands of people to flee.

A spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the world agencies had received “shocking reports that dozens of women were raped and hundreds of families were forced to flee”.

Within three days, RSF combatants tried unarmed civilians "execution, kidnapping, enforced disappearance and robbery." Emergency lawyers said.

Military and paramilitary personnel have been charged with war crimes since the war broke out in April 2023.

The RSF also represented the United States alleged to target non-Arab minorities in Darfur, Western Sudan, and conducted brief executions and systemic sexual violence.

The war killed thousands of people, uprooted more than 12 million, and created what the International Rescue Commission called "the biggest humanitarian crisis ever."

Control over the white Nile State, which extends from south Khartoum to its border with South Sudan, is separated by warring parties.

The Army controls the south, including the state capital, Rabak, as well as two major cities and a major military base. The RSF owns the northern part of the state, including the villages where the latest attacks occurred.

A medical source said it was almost impossible to confirm the loss.

"Some bodies are still lying on the street, some are killed in their homes and no one can reach them," the source said.

Fighting has intensified in recent weeks as military attempts to gain full control of the capital from paramilitary personnel.

Emergency lawyers on Tuesday accused the military of attacking six civilians in the area on civilians in East Khartoum, and days later, civilians in East Khartoum attacked civilians in the east.

The network said individuals associated with the military, civilians in the East Nile area accused of working with the RSF have been “killed, enforced disappearance and arbitrary arrests.”

Children in Khartoum are trapped in a "life nightmare" with messy shootings, robberies and forced displacement, UN children's agents say.

UNICEF said it also received shocking reports of families being kidnapped and sexually violent.

The UN Human Rights Office said that "deeply rooted impunity" has exacerbated large-scale human rights violations throughout Sudan.

"Ongoing and intentional assaults" against civilians include "imminent crimes, sexual violence and other violations and abuses," it said in a statement Tuesday.

The United Nations also called for an expansion of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and for a long time to make up for Sudan's entire weapon, not just Darfur.

About a quarter of Sudan's population, the vast western region is escalating in recent weeks as the RSF seeks to consolidate the speed of its holdings. The paramilitary group intensified its attack on El Fasher, the capital of the Northern Darfur state, the only major city beyond its control.
