The Sudanese government accuses the paramilitaries of killing more than 430 civilians in the south-central part of the country

The Government of Sudan accused on Tuesday the paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces (FAR) of murdering 433 civilians, including several babies, in attacks perpetrated “in recent days” in villages in the state of the White Nile, in the south-central part of the country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced, in a statement, that this “brutal massacre is the worst” committed by the FAR against civilians since the beginning of the war in the country, in April 2023, after other “criminal massacres” in other regions, including the Zamzam displaced camp, in North Darfur (west).

“The terrorist militia has committed in recent days a horrible massacre in the villages of the Al Gitaina region, in the state of the White Nile. Its (fatal) victims are so far 433 people, including babies,” says the note.

However, he took the opportunity to implicitly accuse the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and African countries, such as Kenya, of “complicity”, as well as to warn against the intention of the FAR and other opposition groups to sign a document for the creation of a parallel government in the regions controlled by the paramilitaries.

“This atrocious massacre confirms that the war of the militia (of the FAR) is directed against the entire people of Sudan (…) and makes it clear that every person who participates in or supports the militia or its political document, supervised by its regional sponsor (…) is complicit in its crimes and atrocities against the Sudanese people,” the statement said.

For his part, the Sudanese Minister of Information, Jaled al Eayser, demanded that the international community classify the FAR as a “terrorist organization” for “the crimes committed by these mercenaries supported by foreigners.”

Both the Army and the FAR have been accused of “war crimes,” but several local and international NGOs have accused paramilitaries in recent weeks of killing hundreds of civilians during their withdrawal from villages in the east and south of Sudan in the face of the advance of government troops in those regions.

The FARs were also accused of murdering dozens of civilians in their attempts to control Al Fasher, capital of North Darfur, even in refugee camps, such as Zamzam, which is home to more than half a million people displaced by the war.

The war in Sudan has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and forced some 12 million people to leave their homes, more than 3 million of them to other nations, which has made the country the scene of the worst displaced crisis on the planet, according to the United Nations.

MPV Denounces Electoral Blockade as Secretary-General is Disqualified for May Elections

The anti-Chavista party Movement for Venezuela (MPV) denounced on Monday that it was “prevented” from submitting its candidates for the regional and legislative elections on May 25, elections rejected by opposition leaders Edmundo González Urrutia and María Corina Machado.

“MPV, being an active and recognized party in the National Electoral Council (CNE), was prevented from submitting candidates for the current electoral process,” stated the political group through a communiqué on X.

Additionally, the group denounced that its Secretary-General, Simón Calzadilla, was “suddenly disqualified,” as the opposition leader warned last Friday. He also explained that he attempted to access the CNE’s automated candidate submission system but, as he added, the portal showed that he was not authorized to create a user and submit the MPV candidates.

For the party, its “strong decision” to participate in the May elections “highlighted the true nature of this electoral process,” which it described as “extremely flawed.”

Venezuela accuses Guyana of “warlike intentions” after UK defense deal

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez denounced what she called “warlike intentions” from Guyana on Saturday (April 12, 2025), following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Guyana and the United Kingdom aimed at strengthening bilateral defense cooperation.

“Guyana threatens Venezuela with its founding fathers. The UK and the U.S. are the architects behind the territorial dispossession of our Guayana Esequiba. These are the same actors who forged a fraudulent arbitration award in 1899 to strip Venezuela of its land,” Rodríguez stated via Telegram.

Rodríguez, who also serves as Venezuela’s Minister of Hydrocarbons, warned the region about “these drums of war, in clear violation of the CELAC declaration that recognizes Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.”

“Venezuela will stand firm in defending its legitimate rights, sovereignty, and territorial integrity in all scenarios,” she added.
