 Sudan court sentences RSF leader Mohamed Dagalo to death in absentia


A Sudanese court on Sunday sentenced paramilitary leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo and 15 others to death in absentia over the killing of a regional governor and committing war crimes in Darfur, state media reported.


The ruling is the first against the leadership of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since war broke out between the paramilitary group and the Sudanese army in April 2023.


The court in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, the army's de facto capital, convicted Dagalo and the other defendants of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and attacks on civilians and public facilities, state news agency SUNA reported.


Those sentenced include Dagalo's brother and deputy, Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo, as well as several RSF officers and tribal leaders from communities in West Darfur.


Killing of West Darfur governor


The case centres on the killing of West Darfur governor Khamis Abbakar in June 2023, shortly after RSF forces seized Al Geneina, the state capital.


Abbakar was killed hours after accusing the RSF and allied militias of carrying out attacks against civilians.


The court said it would refer the case to the Supreme Court for review and seek the arrest and extradition of those convicted through Interpol and other international channels.
