Sudanese Foreign Ministry Holds “Militia Sponsors and the International Community” Responsible for the Kalogi Massacre

Port Sudan – Sudanhorizon
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has held “the sponsors of the militia, the UN Security Council, and international actors” responsible for the continued massacres in Sudan.
In a statement issued this evening (Friday), the ministry said that the Security Council and the relevant international parties had failed even to follow up on the implementation of the Council’s own decision to lift the siege on El Fasher and halt the attack on the city. They ignored repeated warnings of an imminent genocide. After the genocide — which is still ongoing — they limited themselves to verbal condemnations that have not been translated into any measures capable of restricting the ability of the terrorist militia to commit such atrocities.
The statement added that, as part of the ongoing campaign of genocide carried out by the terrorist Janjaweed militia against specific Sudanese communities, the racist militia committed a new massacre yesterday in the city of Kalogi in South Kordofan, claiming the lives of 79 civilians, including 43 children and six women.
The statement noted that this heinous crime was carried out in a manner that clearly indicated the militia’s intention to inflict the highest possible number of civilian casualties. The militia first bombed a kindergarten with missiles fired from a drone, killing a large number of pupils. When citizens rushed to rescue the injured children, the militia bombed the kindergarten again, killing several of them — including children who were not wounded in the first strike. The criminal militia did not stop there; it pursued the victims and the rescuers to the rural hospital to which the injured had been transferred, causing the death toll to rise to 79, with 38 wounded.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation stated that the deliberate targeting of children and the injured in such a horrific and terroristic manner is unprecedented, even among the most brutal extremist groups. It provides new evidence that the terrorist militia interprets the international community’s disregard for its continuous atrocities as encouragement and approval of those crimes.
The statement concluded by stressing that what happened confirms that “there is no possibility of coexistence with this terrorist militia, which lacks the most basic sense of humanity and any respect for norms or laws.”
