Wednesday, 7 May 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Committee to Protect Journalists called for an investigation into the May 2 killing<\/a> of Sudanese journalist Hassan Fadl Al-Mawla Mousa, who was shot dead as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control<\/a> of the desert town of Al-Nuhud in the south-central province of West Kordofan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fadl Al-Mawla was a well-known local journalist who may have been deliberately killed by the RSF as the group routinely targets<\/a> prominent media and political figures when seizing new areas, a journalist familiar with the case told CPJ on condition of anonymity, citing fear of reprisal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are shocked by the killing of Hassan Fadl Al-Mawla, a dedicated journalist who gave his life to report from the ground in Sudan\u2019s civil war,\u201d said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. \u201cThose responsible for Al-Mawla\u2019s death must be held to account and journalists must be respected as they document this brutal conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fadl Al-Mawla was a presenter at West Kordofan Radio, and a correspondent for the state-owned Sudan National Radio Corporation and independent Beladi 96.6 FM,according to the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate<\/a> and the journalist who spoke to CPJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journalists\u2019 union condemned<\/a> Fadl Al-Mawla\u2019s killing as \u201ca grave violation against journalists who continue to serve their communities amid the dangers of war,\u201d and praised Fadl Al-Mawla\u2019s professionalism and dedication to public service journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fadl Al-Mawla and eight other journalists<\/a> have been killed since war erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF in April 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPJ\u2019s email to the RSF seeking comment on Fadl Al-Mawla\u2019s death did not receive a response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
