Allegations of Disinformation in Sudan: RSF Reacts to Fabricated Videos
By: Private Correspondence - Al-FasherIn a press release dated April 12, 2025, the spokesperson for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) strongly condemned what they describe as fabricated and staged videos, allegedly designed to unfairly incriminate their forces.
In its statement, the RSF accuses the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Joint Task Force of conducting an orchestrated campaign to manipulate public opinion, relying on falsified narratives and propaganda.
Content of the Incriminated Videos (SEE THE VIDEO: PLEASE LINK)
RSF describes the planned production process for these videos, which allegedly includes:
The use of actors playing scripted roles;
Professional direction orchestrating these staged videos;
The use of multiple takes, compromising the authenticity of the images.
RSF Official Position
The RSF spokesperson reaffirmed its commitment to:
Protecting civilians;
Respecting international humanitarian law;
Resisting campaigns aimed at discrediting its operations.
RSF also calls on independent media and relevant stakeholders to investigate these allegations while avoiding the dissemination of biased information.
Broader Issues
This statement highlights broader concerns related to propaganda in conflict zones. Among the issues raised are:
The impact of disinformation on public perception;
Trust in institutions;
Conflict resolution efforts;
Call for action against disinformation
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) urges human rights organizations to strongly condemn these video montages. These videos, attributed to Sudanese forces and their allies, also allegedly implicated medics, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF). A thorough investigation and appropriate sanctions are deemed necessary, particularly in a context where the Sudanese conflict has already claimed heavy civilian lives.
These allegations illustrate not only the rise of information warfare, but also the growing difficulty of distinguishing truth from manipulation in a polarized environment.
