The way of proceeding with FSR in these villages is the same. These localities of al-Jazeera were burned and looted: members of the RSF burned the market and the village mosque before looting the houses. Anyone who is accused of supporting the army or who opposes the looting of his house, his car or the rape of his wife or daughter is liquidated on the spot. These abuses quickly push civilians to flee the scene, often on foot, because they are no longer in possession of their vehicles.

According to the al-Jazeera conference, 60% of the animal resources of this state estimated at 11 million heads of cattle were looted by the RSF, as well as hundreds of cars and agricultural vehicles.
This new wave of violence in al-Jazeera comes as the Sudanese army has begun to advance towards this state close to Khartoum after months of preparation. It intends to lead the largest offensive since the start of the war to retake Wad Madani. It recaptured the town of Haj Abdallah last Thursday and plans to surround the capital of al-Jazeera to cut off the delivery of aid and ammunition to the RSF.
According to several observers, the FSR fighters have lost contact with their leaders and are acting as free electrons on the ground with the aim of terrorizing and pillaging. Military sources say that several supply lines with weapons and gasoline to the FSR have been cut, which could weaken them.
