Minister Al‑Eisir Condemns RSF Attack on Al-Jabalain Hospital as Fully-Fledged Crime and Violation of Right to Life

Khartoum, April 3, 2026 (SUNA) – Minister of Culture, Information, Antiquities, and Tourism Khalid Al‑Eisir condemned the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia attack on Al-Jabalain Hospital in White Nile State, describing it as a fully-fledged crime and a flagrant violation of the right to life. In a statement issued on Friday, the minister mourned the national martyrs who were killed in the RSF’s assault, describing the incident as a “fully constituted crime” that flagrantly breaches humanitarian values and international humanitarian law. “The targeting of health facilities and personnel cannot be classified as an act of war,” Al‑Eisir said. “It is a direct attack on the right to life, reflecting a methodology based on terrorism, intimidation, and the deliberate targeting of civilians without restraint. We extend our deepest condolences to the families in Al-Jabalain and its surrounding areas, and pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded, while asking Allah to grant patience and fortitude to the bereaved families.” He added that the crime places the international community before an unavoidable ethical and legal test, calling for a firm and responsible stance. “We urge decisive action to classify this militia as a terrorist organization and to pursue and hold accountable all those behind it or providing it any form of support,” Al‑Eisir said. The minister further held the RSF’s regional backers directly responsible for the continuation of this bloody approach, citing the provision of military and logistical support, advanced weaponry, and armed drones, which have clearly contributed to escalating violence and the systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure.BH/BH
