A new report by Human Rights Watch says SAF-allied groups committed acts that may amount to war crimes.

In a report released on Tuesday, Human Rights Watch said forces aligned with the military government have attacked villagers in central Sudan and committed acts that may amount to war crimes, and urged an investigation.
