Sudanese Journalists Network Condemns Violence Against Reporters

The Sudanese Journalists Network (SJN) has strongly denounced the targeting of journalists by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during the war that has been raging for eight months.

The New-York-based Committee to Protect Journalists called for the 'immediate and unconditional release' of the editor-in-chief of El Midan and his brother held by an RSF unit in Khartoum on January 20.

The SJN also rejects accusations of journalists spying for one of the sides, "simply for carrying out their duty in media coverage, especially satellite channel correspondents who have to transfer information from the scene of the event after having documented the truth with cameras".

The report describes the killing, detention, and accusations of of various journalists this month.

Meanwhile, the Sudanese Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party has accused the military of its involvement in the death of Sudanese politian Mohamed Badri who was tortured in military detention in Khartoum North which led to his death on September 17, 2023.

They say the politician "was deliberately shot three times, twice in the abdomen and once in the foot. He did not receive the necessary health care in detention".
