Since I entered Rapid Support Forces to Gezira State Many families quickly left and migrated to neighboring areas, fearing violations that might be committed by forces Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo (Hamidity).
Among these displaced families is the family of Dr. Osama Marzouk, who narrated what happened to him during his displacement journey. He wrote a blog post on his Facebook account in which he said:
“Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, before and after. Today, Friday, during the displacement trip on foot between the villages of the Jazira state, and while we were sitting on the ground to rest, God wanted a car to overturn on the road and fall on my family members.”
Dr. Osama added that he lost his life partner and the mother of his daughters, he also lost his brother’s wife, and he also lost the mother of his nephew’s wife. His eldest daughter suffered a broken hand and leg, and his sister’s niece suffered a broken leg.
He said, “During the occurrence of the accident, there was panic and fear, which resulted in a random movement during which my 6-year-old daughter, Rasil, disappeared from sight, and I have not found her yet. I ask all the people of Al-Jazira State, especially the Qari Al-Kumayr, Hamad Al-Nil, Al-Hindi, 77, Al-Housh…etc. line, to… He finds communication…”
Indeed, the search for the missing child, Raseel, began, and activists launched a campaign on social media platforms using the hashtag #Search_with_us_for_Raseel, and asked everyone to participate in the search for her, and after the search process, Raseel was found dead.
The announcement of the death of the little girl, Rasil, sparked a state of shock and anger on social media platforms in Sudan, and tweeters wrote in their posts, “Rasiel is an innocent little girl, 6 years old, who does not know what war is or who the Janjaweed are. She died because of the Janjaweed in one of the villages of Madani,” Her mother, grandmother, and aunt died, and her sister’s hand and leg were broken, and no matter how sad feelings accumulate within us, we will not know the nature of her father’s feelings now,” according to one of them.

Bloggers described the story of the death of the girl and some of her family members as one of the most tragic stories in Sudan, and others added that there are many stories similar to the story of Dr. Osama’s family, but they do not appear in the media.
Some activists commented on the incident by saying that the fate of the child, Rasil, is the fate of millions of Sudanese children, and they added, “Our children in Sudan die daily from hunger and bullets, and the children of Darfur are displaced daily on foot, and fatigue may kill them before reaching their unknown destinations. Children are dying.” Orphanages do not have a sufficient number of caregivers, and people with disabilities also die due to the collapse of health systems and difficulty in movement. Our children die hiding under their beds in fear of shock.”

Her mother, grandmother, and aunt died, and her sister’s hand and leg were broken. No matter how grim feelings gather within us, we will not know. The nature of her father’s feelings now. https://t.co/dbjwQ3XUWS
