Shooting
Hassan Fadl Al-Mawla Mousa, a radio presenter for West Kordofan Radio and a correspondent for the state-owned Sudan National Radio Corporation and independent Beladi 96.6 FM, was killed on May 2, 2025, amid gunfire as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control of the desert town of Al-Nuhud in the south-central province of West Kordofan.
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 and the journalist who spoke to CPJ.
The journalists’ union condemned Fadl Al-Mawla’s killing as “a grave violation against journalists who continue to serve their communities amid the dangers of war,” and praised Fadl Al-Mawla’s professionalism and dedication to public service journalism, before he was “killed by the bullets” of the RSF.
