**Sudan Army Facing Allegations of Torture and Executions, Rights Group Claims**

The Emergency Lawyers group provides harrowing accounts of torture and executions amidst a backdrop of widespread violence in Sudan.

A prominent Sudanese human rights organization, the Emergency Lawyers group, has leveled serious allegations against the country’s army and security forces, claiming they are responsible for torturing individuals to death and operating "execution chambers." Documenting hundreds of arrests in Khartoum, the group has warned that detainees have been found dead with clear signs of torture, especially in the wake of the army's recapture of the city from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in March during ongoing civil strife that has resulted in tens of thousands of fatalities.

The army has not responded to requests for comments regarding the allegations. The Emergency Lawyers group has noted a troubling escalation in human rights violations during the conflict, which has persisted for nearly two years. They report random arrests, with many detainees taken to large facilities where they face inhumane living conditions, unfair trials lacking fundamental justice norms, or release while severely unwell. Tragically, some have ended up dead due to torture, illustrating a brutal reality facing many within the war-torn nation.

The history of repression in Sudan, particularly during the regime of former President Omar al-Bashir, has fostered an environment where torture reemerges as a frequent strategy used by both the army and the RSF. The United Nations’ Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan indicated that both factions have engaged in a "widespread pattern of arbitrary detention, torture, and ill-treatment," including sexual violence and other forms of brutality against detainees.

Beyond the immediate human rights abuses, the ongoing conflict has precipitated one of the most severe humanitarian crises in recent history. An estimated 12 million people have been displaced, with reported famines in several regions. Medical assistance organizations like Doctors Without Borders have highlighted the situation's dire nature, noting one of the worst cholera outbreaks in years, with nearly 100,000 reported cases and over 2,470 deaths linked to the disease in the past year alone.

Amid this crisis, multiple reports clarify the increasing toll that the war continues to have on civilians, revealing the complexities involved as both military factions engage in violent confrontation, causing widespread despair in previously stable areas.
