[SUDANTRIBUNE] Activists on Thursday accused Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of looting food supplies intended for collective kitchens and firing at volunteers in the Shambat area of Khartoum Bahri, north of the capital.

The RSF has controlled the Shambat area, as well as other areas in the Khartoum Bahri, since the early days of the war.

A statement issued by the Shambat Resistance® Committees said armed individuals belonging to the RSF stole food supplies intended for collective kitchens known as Takaya in the Shambat area, assaulted volunteers and stole their phones.

The Takaya, funded by donations, prepare free daily meals for area residents who have lost their livelihoods due to the war’s disruption of economic activities and work. In Shambat alone, they provide meals to over 1,400 families as the war continues to impact their lives.

The statement said the cessation of the free kitchens would threaten the lives of residents who have become dependent on them amid a lack of jobs and humanitarian aid.

It also said there were no forces protecting civilians as had been rumoured, and no such forces have been formed since the war began.
