Tunisian court sentences opposition leaders to jail terms of 13 to 66 years

Sitting in a multitude of mothers and children under the hard sun, Najlaa Ahmed described at the time the rapid support forces are poured into the Zamzam displacement field of Darfur, attacking and burning houses rained and the drones flew over.
He lost the notion of the majority of his family while fleeing. “I don’t know what has been their, my mother, my father, brothers, my grandmother, came here with strangers,” he said, one of the six survivors who told Arson Reuters and executions in the raid.
The rapid support forces, two years after their conflict with the Sudan Army, confiscated the mass camp in northern Darfur a week ago in an attack that the United Nations left at least 300 dead people and forced 400,000 to flee.
The RSF did not respond to a request for comments, but has denied the accusations of atrocities and said that the camp was being used as a basis for the loyal forces to the army. The humanitarian groups have denounced the raid as an attack directed against civilians who already face the famine.
Najlaa Ahmed managed to make her children safe in Tawila, a city at 60 km (40 miles) from Zamzam controlled by a neutral rebel group, the third time, she said, she had been forced to flee the RSF in a matter of months.
She said she observed seven people who or hunger and thirst, and others succumb to her wounds on her last trip.
The RSF has published videos of his second in command, Abdelrahim Dagalo, promising to provide food and refuge displaced in the camp where it was determined in August.

Bodies found
More than 280,000 people have sought refuge in Tawila’s agreement to the general coordination for displaced persons and refugees, a defense group, in addition to half a million that came since the war broke out in April 2023.
Speaking from Al-Fashir-the capital of northern Darfur 15 km north of Zamzam, that the RSF is trying to take the army man, one who asked not to be appointed, said he had found the bodies of 24 people killed in an attack against a T.
“People’s houses began, looting … they killed some people … after these people fled, running in different directions. There were fires. They had soldiers burning buildings to create more terror.”
Another man, an old man at the camp, said that the RSF had killed 14 people at a short distance in a mosque near his home.
“The people who are afraid always go to the mosque to seek refuge, but enter each mosque and shot them,” he said.
Reuters could not independently verify the reports.
A video verified by Reuters showed the soldiers shouting a group of older men and young men outside a mosque, interrogating them about an alleged military base.
Other videos verified by Reuters fired RSF soldiers shooting a unarmed man while others lay on the ground, calling dogs. One showed armed men celebrating while they stopped around a group of bodies.
The RSF has said that such videos are false.

Fight for Darfur
Zamzam’s capture occurs when the RSF tries to consolidate its control of the Darfur region. The victory in Al-Fashir would increase the efforts of the RSF to establish a government parallel to that controlled by the army that has been in the rise lately, swallowing control of the capital Jardtum.
The war between the Sudanese army, who is also accused of atrocities, charges it, denies, and the RSF broke out in April 2023 about plans to integrate the two forces. The RSF roots are found in Darfur’s Janjaweed militias, whose attacks in the early 2000s led to the creation of Zamzam and other displacement fields in Darfur.
Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health said in a report on Wednesday that more than 1.7 square km of the camp, including the main market, had been burned and that the fires had continued every day as a spray.
The researchers also saw control points around the camp, and the witnesses told Reuters that some people were preventing them from leaving.
In Tawila, the MSF medical aid agency received 154 people injured, the youngest of seven months, almost all with gunshot wounds, the emergency field coordinator Marion Ramstein told Reuters.
Food, water and shelter supplies were already low before newcomers.
“The lucky ones are those who find a tree to sit down,” said Ramstein.
Ahmed Mohamed, who burned in Tawila this week, said the soldiers on the road robbed all his possessions, and was now sleeping on the bare ground.
“We need everything a human being would need,” he said.
