Adam Issac Minan, a reporter at the North Darfur State Radio and Television Corporation who also contributed to several other outlets, including Darfur 24, has been missing since April 5, 2026, when the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) kidnapped him from the city of Kutum in North Darfur state as part of a wider campaign targeting civilians, according to two local journalists, one of whom works with the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate, who spoke to CPJ on condition of anonymity, citing fear of reprisal.
Minan was detained alongside his brother before being transferred to El Fasher, according to the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate. The syndicate later reported concerns that he may have been moved to Dagreis prison in Nyala, South Darfur, amid deteriorating security and humanitarian conditions.
CPJ contacted the RSF through its website to request comment on Minan’s whereabouts but did not receive a response.
