Amnesty International has released a report accusing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan of committing serious human rights abuses, including crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, during their capture of the city of el-Fasher last year. This operation took place amid the violent civil war between the Sudanese army and the RSF, marking one of the most brutal episodes in the conflict. The documented violations encompass murder, torture, and extensive sexual violence, such as rape and enslavement, highlighting a grave humanitarian crisis in the region.
The report draws attention to the forced displacement of large groups of civilians and the unlawful detention of innocent people as part of the RSF's campaign to assert control over Darfur. These actions have intensified the suffering of the local population and raised urgent concerns within the international community about ongoing atrocities in Sudan. The situation continues to deteriorate as the civil war disrupts lives and stability in the area.
