An Indian national, Adarsh Behera from Odisha, has been kidnapped by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in Sudan amidst the ongoing violent conflict between the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The 36-year-old, who has been working in Sudan since 2022, was abducted from Al Fashir and is believed to have been taken to Nyala, an RSF stronghold. His family has shared a video of him pleading for help, as the International Criminal Court warns that RSF actions may constitute war crimes.
