The Plundering of Khartoum: The Looting of Documents and Property by the Rapid Support Forces

The Plundering of Khartoum: The Looting of Documents and Property by the Rapid Support Forces
By: Gamal E.O. Elhag-Idris

In this exceptional documentary work, author and researcher Gamal E.O. Elhag-Idris unveils one of the most shocking crimes to strike Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, during the war that erupted in April 2023. This is not merely a book about war—it is about a memory being looted, a nation stripped of its archives, possessions, and identity under the shadow of violence and chaos.

“The Plundering of Khartoum” goes beyond documenting thefts from the homes of politicians, intellectuals, and diplomats. It dives deep into the anatomy of an organized crime, analyzing how documents were stolen, smuggled, and weaponized. Who benefited? How were they exploited? And what does this mean for Sudan’s national security and collective identity?
