According to reports and investigations during late 2024 and early 2025, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and allied militias committed systematic killings, forced disappearances, and the dumping of bodies into waterways. The victims were mainly civilians, and the large Kanabi communities were deeply affected.
