Hear from survivors of war crimes & potential crimes against humanity committed as part of attacks in South Kordofan during which RSF killed, raped, injured dozens of civilians, and looting & destroying homes that displaced 10s of thousands www.hrw.org/news/2024/12... www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj8P...
