Maternity hospital massacre leaves 460 dead: Fresh horror in Sudan as patients and staff are butchered, after 2,000 civilians were executed in two days​


A maternity hospital massacre in Sudan has left 460 people dead just days after a 48-hour killing spree saw more than 2,000 civilians executed by paramilitary rebels.
The World Health Organisation said the Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher, the city's last remaining hospital, was on Sunday 'attacked for the fourth time in a month, killing one nurse and injuring three other health workers'.
Two days later, 'six health workers, four doctors, a nurse and a pharmacist, were abducted' and 'more than 460 patients and their companions were reportedly shot and killed in the hospital,' by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries, the organisation said.

A maternity hospital massacre in Sudan has left 460 people dead just days after a 48-hour killing spree saw more than 2,000 civilians executed by paramilitary rebels.
The World Health Organisation said the Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher, the city's last remaining hospital, was on Sunday 'attacked for the fourth time in a month, killing one nurse and injuring three other health workers'.
Two days later, 'six health workers, four doctors, a nurse and a pharmacist, were abducted' and 'more than 460 patients and their companions were reportedly shot and killed in the hospital,' by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries, the organisation said.




Footage purportedly capturing the aftermath of the hospital massacre showed bodies scattered across the floor among debris and broken equipment.

'I was performing surgery in the hospital when heavy shelling occurred. A mortar hit the hospital. I was so worried because the woman's wounds were open, and everyone was running around me,' Dr Suhiba, a gynaecologist, told UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency.

The northeast African nation was plunged into a deadly conflict in mid-April 2023, when long-simmering tensions about the future of the country between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the head of the paramilitary rebel group erupted.

Following the most recent incident, allies of the army, the Joint Forces, said on Tuesday that the RSF 'committed heinous crimes against innocent civilians, where more than 2,000 unarmed citizens were executed and killed on October 26 and 27, most of them women, children and the elderly'.

Maternity hospital massacre leaves 460 dead: Fresh horror in Sudan
 

Utterly sad.

In ancient times, such massacres were not uncommon with some large roving armies that would kill all men and people they didn't have slave or artisan uses for, then plunder valuables, rape and enslave attractive women. Homo sapiens are capable of great evil. Especially militaristic warmongering societies that glorified such behaviors. Some Mongol hordes killed nearly everyone in large ancient prosperous cities they conquered crudely killing hundreds of thousands of people. This is a key reason I speculate intelligent entities from elsewhere in the universe began intervening, trying to help we Earth monkeys, after civilizations arose over the last dozen millennium.

And you ask why some folks are hard set against giving up the legal right to have weapons.

Whose asking you to give up your weapons? All I would ask is that if you ever come to my country I do hope that you enjoy your visit and, hopefully, feel safe without your weapons. You wouldn't be allowed to bring those. As for feeling safe, the last figures known are for 2024. The US experienced 46,728 deaths by firearms, here in the UK the total of firearm deaths was 24.
We are, of course, a much smaller country but heavily populated, those figures in ratio terms means that you are over 80% less likely to end up in the morgue with a gunshot wound in a country where the regular police, out on patrol, are unarmed.

A hospital hit 4 times in month along with doctors and nurses being killed without compunction.

If a combatant is willing to purposely hit hospitals with mortars or kill medical personal the same restraint should be shown to them even if they encountered unarmed.
 
For some reason the ongoing issues in Sudan have been largely ignored by our political leaders and the mainstream media.

Sadly, it seems like some lives seem to have more value than others or maybe there is simply nothing that we want or could possibly gain from exploiting the Sudan and it’s people.

The US recently formed an alliance with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and UAE to decide how to solve the conflict in Sudan, but every idea each one proposed was rejected by the rest. Both sides of the conflict in Sudan have committed a slew of atrocities, so it's impossible to decide who the "good guys" are.

The US wants to negotiate peace through diplomacy because other conflicts (such as Ukraine) are draining our military resources and funding. But, obviously, neither Sudanese faction is interested in diplomacy.
