Sudan Justice Minister Condemns RSF 'War Crimes' in North Kordofan Villages; RSF Drone Hits El-Obeid Administration Buildings

Sudan's Justice Minister Dr. Abdullah Dirif formally condemned RSF attacks on civilian villages in North Kordofan on June 3, 2026, including Al-Murra, Um Kereidim, Hilla Hamid, and Shaq Al-Noum — all located north of Bara town. The minister described systematic RSF conduct including looting of civilian property, burning of homes, forced displacement, and direct assaults on women, children, and elderly residents. Dr. Dirif characterized the acts as 'fully fledged war crimes and crimes against humanity,' calling on the international community and UN Security Council to take urgent action. The condemnation directly follows the Al-Murrah massacre (May 27–29) in which 60 civilians were confirmed killed during Eid al-Adha — the deadliest RSF ground atrocity in North Kordofan in 2026 — and RSF's renewed assault under a communications blackout on May 30. On the morning of June 3, a separate RSF drone struck Legal Administration buildings in El-Obeid, the SAF-held North Kordofan capital, continuing the near-daily RSF drone campaign against civilian and government infrastructure in the city that has been documented since Q1 2026. The combination of mass-casualty ground attacks on villages and precision drone strikes against state institutions reflects RSF's dual-layer strategy of ethnic cleansing in contested rural areas and systemic disruption of SAF governance in urban centers.
