The Rapid Support Forces massacre in Kalogi sparks widespread outrage; dozens of children are among the victims.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) committed a horrific massacre in the city of Kologi, South Kordofan State, Sudan, resulting in 114 deaths, including a large number of children. This appalling incident sparked widespread shock and outrage on social media. The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that what occurred constituted a "full-fledged massacre," as the RSF targeted a kindergarten using missiles launched from a drone. They then bombed the site again while residents were attempting to rescue the wounded, and not only that, but they also pursued the injured and those who came to their aid inside the hospital. This crime triggered a wave of condemnation and angry reactions among Sudanese activists and social media users, who described it as one of the most heinous and bloodiest attacks against children since the start of the war. They also pointed out that it adds another dark chapter to the record of crimes committed by the RSF militia. In a related context, others circulated a video showing the children of the Kalouqi kindergarten going about their daily lives before it turned into a horrific tragedy in which everyone was killed, and they considered the incident a blatant violation of the rights of civilians and a systematic targeting of innocent people.
