New Delhi, Nov. 4 -- Sudan is in contact with Indian authorities regarding the reported abduction of an Indian national by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia that captured the strategic city of Ely Fasher last month, Sudanese ambassador Mohammed Abdalla Ali Eltom said on Monday. The envoy sought India's support as an important player of the world community to cope with the situation arising from recent gains by the RSF, which he described as a "bloodthirsty militia" working as a proxy for foreign powers. The RSF has issued a video purportedly showing the kidnapped Indian national, identified as Adarsh Behera, a 36-year-old resident of Odisha. Behera, who was working in Sudan for the past three years, was reportedly abducted when the RSF captured El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state and the last remaining stronghold of Sudanese forces in the Darfur region, on October 26. "As regards the Indian national, we have seen various [reports] but we also don't have confirmation. There is a complete communication blackout in El-Fasher. No one can contact anyone in the city right now," Eltom told reporters. "We hope that he is not harmed by the militia. The situation is unpredictable, you never know what they will do," he said. "We hope that he is treated well and we can see him returning back safely soon." There was no word from Indian officials on the status of Behera. Eltom said the Indian embassy based in Port Sudan is closely following the situation and Sudan's embassy in New Delhi has been in contact with the external affairs ministry and the foreign ministry in Port Sudan regarding the development. While the video showed Behera was unharmed, Eltom highlighted massacres and large-scale summary executions carried out by RSF fighters and commanders after the fall of El Fasher. While playing videos of executions by the RSF, he referred to the "genocidal nature" of the militia and said one commander had boasted of killing 2,000 people. These killings, he said, had been filmed and documented by the RSF militia itself....
