*Content warning: contains graphic scenes* Amnesty International has released a major report concluding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing during its campaign to seize El Fasher in North Darfur state in Sudan. The report - City Under Siege, Children Under Fire: Rapid Support Forces' Crimes Against Humanity in North Darfur - documents how civilians in and around El Fasher were killed, injured, beaten, tortured and detained between early 2024 and October 2025 as the RSF fought the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and allied Joint Forces in a war that devastated North Darfur. We demand an immediate ceasefire in Sudan - and for the urgent deployment of an international force to protect civilians. The UK gov must end all arms transfers to parties of the conflict, including to the UAE.

💢 Thousands Killed, Women Systematically Raped as RSF Seized Sudan’s El Fasher, Joint Investigation Finds A joint investigation and documentary film by Sudan War Monitor, Lighthouse Reports, and Al Jazeera Fault Lines has reconstructed the fall of El Fasher — capital of North Darfur — documenting systematic massacres, mass rape, and the deliberate use of a trench encircling the city to trap and kill fleeing civilians during the Rapid Support Forces’ seizure of the city on October 26, 2025. UN data indicates at least 6,000 people were killed in the first three days of the RSF’s entry into the city. RSF commanders and other sources cited in the investigation put the death toll above 10,000. One witness who helped collect bodies said he and others buried approximately 4,000 corpses — all in civilian clothing — including women found dead alongside infants believed to have died of thirst after their mothers were killed. Survivors described checkpoints between El Fasher and the Qarni gate where RSF fighters looted, beat, and raped civilians attempting to flee. Women were held in detention facilities and subjected to sexual slavery. The investigation also documents RSF forces using schools as detention sites, where girls were taken one by one and raped. RSF deputy commander Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo is identified by witnesses as having personally led fighters pursuing civilians through the trench.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🎥 Clip from the film below. The movie is linked below.
