UN and Amnesty International Accuse Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces of Genocide in El Fasher
United Nations experts and an independent probe reported that the Rapid Support Forces committed mass killings in El Fasher that show hallmarks of genocide. The findings indicate that the paramilitary group targeted non-Arab communities during the capture of the city last October. This marks the first time a UN-mandated body has used the term genocide to describe the group's actions. The independent probe stated that the scale of the violence points to a deliberate campaign against specific ethnic groups.
Amnesty International also released a report stating the group committed crimes against humanity during the seizure of the Darfur city. Additionally, the UN human rights office accused the paramilitary forces of war crimes following the takeover. These reports highlight a pattern of extreme violence and human rights violations as the conflict in Sudan continues.
