*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.

The UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces said they arrested several individuals, including Brig. Gen. Al-Fatih Abdallah Idris, known as “Issa Abu Lulu,” for “violations” committed during the capture of El Fasher, where he and others were recorded executing dozens of civilians. The group claims that "legal committees" are investigating the cases. The statement from the Emirati-backed group stressed adherence to military discipline, human rights, and international law, rejecting "media exaggeration by the Islamic Movement" and reaffirming that all offenders will be held accountable. It should be noted that this is most likely damage control in response to the widespread footage of the atrocities committed by the RSF in El Fasher, as forces continue to target civilians.

#Sudan: The UN Human Rights Office is receiving multiple, alarming reports that the Rapid Support Forces are carrying out atrocities, including summary executions, after seizing control of large parts of the besieged city of El Fasher, North Darfur & of Bara city in North Kordofan state in recent days. We need urgent, concrete action to protect civilians seeking safe passage from El Fasher and Bara in Sudan. States with influence must act to prevent atrocities by RSF and allied fighters; accountability is key.

🇸🇩 Sudan: The UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces claim to have arrested Brig. Gen. Al-Fatih Abdallah Idris — “Issa Abu Lulu” — after footage showed him executing civilians during the fall of El Fasher. The militia says “legal committees” are investigating, insisting it remains committed to human rights and international law — while dismissing the massacre reports as “media exaggeration.” But make no mistake — this is damage control. The RSF is a master of deception, a genocidal machine trying to clean its blood-soaked image after global outrage over Abu Lulu’s atrocities. 🎭 A fake arrest for real crimes.

🇸🇩 UN: Civilians Trapped as Violence Escalates in Sudan The UN’s Humanitarian Coordinator, Denise Brown, warns of intensifying atrocities in and around El Fasher, after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized North Darfur’s capital last week. The UN reports summary executions, sexual violence, and indiscriminate killings, including of women and children. ➤ El Fasher remains sealed off, with hundreds of civilians and aid workers feared dead. The RSF is blocking humanitarian aid in violation of international law. OCHA demanded immediate access and a ceasefire to protect civilians. ➤ The IOM says over 71,000 people have fled El Fasher since Oct. 26, mostly to Tawila, where overcrowded camps are short on food, water, and shelter. Many displaced people report killings, abductions, and sexual assaults along escape routes. ➤ In Kordofan, 37,000 civilians fled Bara and Um Rawaba amid reports of executions and destroyed infrastructure. In South Kordofan, UNICEF confirmed eight children killed and three injured after missile strikes on displacement shelters in Kadugli. The UN says its 2025 Sudan Humanitarian Plan is only 28% funded—$1.17 billion received of the $4.16 billion required. Read more in the latest report from Drop Site linked below.
